Broncholyte Elixir (Cough Syrup) 100ml
Broncholyte Elixir is a reliable mucolytic and bronchodilator medication specifically formulated to provide relief from chesty coughs, bronchospasm, and respiratory congestion. Unlike regular cough suppressants, Broncholyte works by targeting the root of chest discomfort: thick, sticky mucus (phlegm) and narrowed airways.
It is a sugar-free formula, making it a safe choice for diabetic patients and those looking to avoid sugar in their medications.
What is the work of Broncholyte Syrup?
Broncholyte Elixir is a combination medicine used to treat coughs associated with bronchitis, asthma, and other respiratory conditions. Its primary "work" is to break down the chemical structure of thick mucus in the airways and relax the muscles in the lungs to make breathing easier.
Active Ingredients (per 5ml)
- Bromhexine Hydrochloride (4mg): A mucolytic agent that thins and loosens phlegm.
- Guaifenesin (50mg): An expectorant that helps clear mucus from the airways.
- Terbutaline Sulphate (1.25mg): A bronchodilator that relaxes and opens the air passages in the lungs.
