About Soothex Syrup

Soothex 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.

Soothex Syrup is a combination of three drugs, namely Guaifenesin, Terbutaline and Bromhexine. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that works by increasing the volume of fluid in the airways, reducing the stickiness of mucus and helping to remove it from the airways. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator that relaxes muscles and widens the airways. Thus, it makes breathing easier. Bromhexine is a mucolytic agent (cough/sputum thinner) that thins and loosens phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Thus, it helps cough up easily.

Use Soothex Syrup as prescribed by your doctor. Some people may experience nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, headache, dizziness, skin rash, tremors, stomach upset and fast heartbeats. Most of the side effects of Soothex Syrup do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Soothex Syrup or any other medicines. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Soothex Syrup . If you have a history of fits or are suffering from fits, please inform your doctor before taking Soothex Syrup as it may increase the risk of recurrent fits. If you have diabetes, regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is recommended while taking Soothex Syrup .
