Medicinal Benefits

Bro-Zedex Syrup is a combination of four drugs, namely: Guaifenesin (expectorant), Bromhexine hydrochloride (mucolytic agent), Terbutaline sulphate (bronchodilator) and Menthol (cooling agent). Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that works by increasing the volume of fluid in the airways, thereby reducing the stickiness or viscosity of mucus and making it easier for airway passage. Bromhexine hydrochloride belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose, making it easier to cough it out. Terbutaline sulphate belongs to the class of bronchodilators that relaxes muscles and widens the airways making breathing easier in people with respiratory complications. Menthol is a cooling agent that produces a cooling sensation and provides relief from minor throat irritation due to cough deposition. Together, Bro-Zedex Syrup helps provide relief from cough.
