Viscof Expectorant Syrup 100ml

Viscof Expectorant is a highly effective cough syrup formulated to provide relief from productive (wet) coughs and chest congestion. It contains a powerful combination of Ambroxol Hydrochloride and Guaifenesin, which work together to thin, loosen, and clear mucus from the respiratory tract.

How Viscof Syrup Works

Viscof acts as both a mucolytic and an expectorant:

• Ambroxol Hydrochloride (30mg): Breaks down the structure of thick mucus (phlegm), making it less sticky and easier to move.
• Guaifenesin (50mg): Increases the volume of fluid in the airways, helping to lubricate the throat and facilitate the expulsion of mucus through coughing.
• Menthol: Provides a cooling sensation that soothes throat irritation often associated with persistent coughing.

Indications & Uses

Viscof is primarily used in Nigeria for the management of:

• Chesty coughs with thick phlegm.
• Acute and chronic bronchitis.
• Asthmatic bronchitis (under medical supervision).
• Congestion caused by common cold or allergies.

Viscof vs. Viscof-S: What's the difference?

It is important to note the difference between the standard Viscof Expectorant and Viscof-S. While the standard Viscof focuses on clearing mucus, Viscof-S contains an additional ingredient, Salbutamol. Salbutamol is a bronchodilator used to open up the airways in patients experiencing wheezing or tightness in the chest. Always check your bottle to ensure you have the correct variant for your symptoms.

Dosage Instructions

• Adults: 5ml to 10ml, three times daily.
• Children (6-12 years): 5ml, two to three times daily.
• Children under 6 years: Consult a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor before administration.

Side Effects & Precautions

Most users tolerate Viscof well. However, some may experience mild nausea or gastric discomfort. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult a healthcare professional before use.
