About Onimex Syrup
Onimex Syrup belongs to the class of medicines called expectorants, primarily used to treat a wet or productive cough. A productive cough is a type of cough that brings up mucus or phlegm from the lungs or airways. It is often referred to as a wet cough because it produces sputum, which helps clear irritants like allergens, bacteria, or mucus from the respiratory system.
Onimex Syrup is a combination of two drugs: Ambroxol (mucolytic agent) and Guaiphenesin (expectorant). Ambroxol hydrochloride acts by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Guaiphenesin raises the volume of fluid in the airways, lowers the stickiness of mucus, and aids in its removal from the airways. Thereby, Onimex Syrup helps provide relief from a cough.
Take Onimex Syrup with or without food. Your doctor will prescribe how frequently you must take Onimex Syrup based on your medical condition. Some people may experience nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, headache, dizziness, stomach upset and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not necessitate medical treatment and resolve gradually over time. However, please consult your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
Please inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in Onimex Syrup . Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Inform your doctor if you have heart, liver, or kidney problems, stomach ulcers, thyroid disorders, diabetes, inflammation of air passages, lung disorders, or difficulty breathing. Keep your doctor updated about your medical condition and medications to avoid any potential negative effects.
