Ascorex Cough Syrup 200ml (Expectorant)
Ascorex Cough Syrup (also known as Ascorex Expectorant) is a comprehensive formulation designed to provide relief from productive (wet) cough and respiratory discomfort. It is specifically formulated to address symptoms associated with bronchial asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
How Ascorex Works
Ascorex utilizes a triple-action formula to help you breathe more easily and clear your chest:
- Bronchodilation (Salbutamol): Works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the airways, helping to open up the lungs and alleviate breathlessness.
- Mucolytic Action (Bromhexine): Effectively breaks down and thins thick, sticky mucus, making it less viscous and easier to move.
- Expectorant Effect (Guaifenesin): Increases the volume of fluid in the respiratory tract, which helps to loosen phlegm so it can be coughed up and expelled more easily.
- Soothing Relief (Menthol): Provides a cooling sensation that helps to soothe an irritated throat.
Indications
Ascorex is recommended for the symptomatic treatment of:
- Productive cough with thick mucus.
- Bronchial asthma and wheezing.
- Acute and chronic bronchitis.
- Other respiratory tract infections involving congestion.
Usage and Administration
- Shake well before use.
- Dosage: Always follow the dosage prescribed by your doctor or healthcare professional. Typically, adults take 10ml of the syrup 2 to 3 times daily.
- If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but do not double the dose to catch up.
Precautions and Safety
Ascorex is generally well-tolerated, but users should be aware of potential side effects such as mild tremors, palpitations, or gastrointestinal upset.
- Consult a Pharmacist: Before starting this medication, it is advisable to consult a GoMed pharmacist to ensure it is appropriate for your specific condition, especially if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, or are pregnant.
