Terbutaline Sulphate + Guaiphenesin + Bromhexine Hydrochloride + Menthol Suspension:
Terbutaline Sulphate is a selective beta2 -adrenergic agonist which predominantly stimulates beta2-receptors, thus producing relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle. Guaiphenesin, by increasing respiratory tract fluid, reduces the viscosity of tenacious secretions and acts as an expectorant. Bromhexine HCl is intended to support the body’s mechanisms for clearing mucus from the respiratory tract. It is secretolytic, increasing the production of serous mucus in the respiratory tract and makes the phlegm thinner and less viscous Menthol is also classified as a expectorant.
