About Ascoril Plus Tablets

Ascoril Plus Tablets is used to treat cough associated with mucus. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body's way of clearing irritants (such as allergens, mucus, or smoke) from the airways, thereby preventing respiratory infections.

Ascoril Plus Tablets contains Guaiphenesin (expectorant), Terbutaline (bronchodilator) and Bromhexine (mucolytic agent or cough thinner). Guaiphenesin increases the volume of fluid in the airways, reducing the stickiness of mucus and helping it be removed from the airways. Terbutaline relaxes muscles and widens the airways. Thereby, it makes breathing easier. Bromhexine works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Thereby, it helps to cough out easily.

Some people may experience nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, headache, dizziness, skin rash, tremor, stomach upset and fast heartbeats. Most of these side effects of Ascoril Plus Tablets do not require medical attention and typically resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
