Triple-Action Relief for Respiratory Infections
Bronquidiazina CR provides a triple-action approach to help you breathe easier:
- Antibacterial Action: It contains Co-trimoxazole (Sulfamethoxazole 400mg and Trimethoprim 80mg) which stops the growth of bacteria causing the infection.
- Mucolytic Action: It contains Bromhexine HCl (4mg) which breaks down and thins thick mucus, making it easier to cough out.
- Expectorant Effect: Tolu Balsam (325mg) and Sodium Benzoate (250mg) help soothe the respiratory mucosa and aid in clearing congestion.
