About Asthakind Syrup

Asthakind Syrup 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.

Asthakind Syrup 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 Asthakind Syrup 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.

If you are known to be allergic to Asthakind Syrup or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Asthakind Syrup . If you have diabetes, fits, high blood pressure, an overactive thyroid, stomach ulcers, phenylketonuria (a congenital disability that causes accumulation of the amino acid phenylalanine in the body), kidney, liver or heart problems, please inform your doctor before taking Asthakind Syrup .

Uses of Asthakind Syrup

Asthakind Syrup is used to treat a chesty cough. The detailed uses of Asthakind Syrup are as follows:

  • Relief from Cough: Asthakind Syrup is frequently used to treat persistent coughs caused by colds, allergies, or asthma. It soothes the throat by minimising irritation.
  • Expectorant Properties: Asthakind Syrup loosens mucus in the respiratory tract, making it easier to expel phlegm and breathe.
  • Eases breathing in respiratory conditions: It relaxes the airway muscles, improving airflow and reducing wheezing or shortness of breath.
  • Breaks down mucus: It thins and dissolves mucus, making it easier to clear from the respiratory tract.

Health Queries

I have a wet cough, and sometimes my breathing becomes fast. How can I get relief from this?

A wet cough with episodes of fast breathing may occur due to a chest infection, airway irritation, or excess mucus in the lungs. Drinking warm fluids, steam inhalation, and adequate rest may help loosen mucus and ease coughing. Avoid dust, smoke, and cold air that can worsen breathing problems. Consult a doctor for proper examination and suitable treatment.

My 1.7-year-old child has had a cough for 2 days. I have been giving Asthakind syrup, but it is not effective. Please suggest a good cough syrup for my child.

For a 1.7-year-old child, cough syrups are generally not recommended, as most are ineffective at this age. Keep your child well hydrated, use a humidifier, and try saline nasal drops. If the cough persists or worsens, please consult a paediatrician for safe and effective treatment.

My 8-month-old daughter has had a cold with fever and cough for two days. The doctor prescribed Asthakind syrup, Pacimol drops, and Bactogard dry syrup, but she is still coughing. How can I help her?

Dr. S Aneela

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

It is common for an 8-month-old to keep coughing for a few days despite taking the medicine. Make sure your daughter takes all medication exactly as prescribed, keep her well hydrated, and use a humidifier or gentle steam to ease congestion. Monitor her breathing, feeding, and temperature, and contact your doctor immediately if the cough worsens, she has difficulty breathing, or the fever persists beyond a few days.
