Prescription RequiredAbout Genlinctus-A Cough Expectorant 100 ml
Genlinctus-A Cough Expectorant 100 ml is a combination medication which promotes the secretion of sputum (phlegm) by the airways (bronchi), used to treat coughs. It treats respiratory conditions including chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) like bronchitis (inflammation of bronchial tubes), emphysema (shortness of breath), and upper respiratory tract infections. COPD is a chronic inflammatory lung disease caused by the obstructed airflow in the lungs. An upper respiratory tract infection is a contagious infection caused by a bacteria or virus infecting the nose, throat, pharynx, larynx, and bronchi.
Genlinctus-A Cough Expectorant 100 ml consists of Ambroxol, Terbutaline, Guaifenesin, and Menthol. Ambroxol is an 'expectorant' that promotes the secretion of sputum/cough. It is also a 'mucolytic agent' that makes sputum less viscous and makes breathing easier. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator and works by widening and relaxing the airways (bronchi) of the lungs. Guaifenesin is also an 'expectorant'. It reduces the thickness or viscosity of bronchial secretions (phlegm) and increases mucus flow making it easier to cough. Menthol is an organic flavour additive which produces a sensation of coolness and relieves throat irritation.
Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of the course based on the severity of your medical condition. Like every other medication, Genlinctus-A Cough Expectorant 100 ml also has common side effects like nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, sweating and muscle cramps, dizziness, headache, rash, tremor (shakiness), palpitations (uneven heartbeat), and increased heart rate. These side effects, if occurred, generally go away during the treatment. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Genlinctus-A Cough Expectorant 100 ml or any other medication. It is mandatory to inform your doctor if you have heart, liver, kidney diseases, stomach ulcers, seizures (fits), high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, diabetes, inflammation of air passages, lung disorders, and difficulty breathing before taking Genlinctus-A Cough Expectorant 100 ml. Check with your doctor if you plan to conceive, are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid alcohol while taking Genlinctus-A Cough Expectorant 100 ml, since it can worsen the dizziness and sleepiness.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Cough: Coughing is a body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Coughs may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings up sputum (phlegm, mucus and other matter) from the lungs. Dry cough does not produce sputum. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection but coughing up mucus is possibly an indication of infection in the respiratory tract. If you are coughing thick, solid white mucus, it indicates a bacterial infection in the airways. If the mucus is clear or light-coloured, it indicates allergies or a minor infection in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): It is a chronic inflammatory lung disease caused by the obstructed airflow in the lungs. Emphysema is a lung condition caused by shortness of breath, and chronic bronchitis is the inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes. An upper respiratory tract infection is a contagious infection caused by a bacteria or virus infecting nose, throat, pharynx, larynx, and bronchi.
