About Ventex Syrup

Ventex Syrup belongs to a class of respiratory medication called ‘expectorant' primarily used to treat vicious and excessive mucus in patients with asthma and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder) having a cough. It helps in dissolving hard phlegm (sputum/cough) which makes breathing difficult usually in respiratory problems like allergies, sinusitis, common cold, bronchitis, flu, etc. Coughing (dry or productive) is a body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection.

Ventex Syrup is a combination of four drugs, namely: Guaifenesin (expectorant), Bromhexine (mucolytic agent), Terbutaline (bronchodilator), and Menthol (cooling agent). Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that works by increasing the volume of fluid in the airways, thereby reducing the stickiness or viscosity of mucus, and making it easier for airway passage. Bromhexine belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose, making it easier to cough it out. Terbutaline belongs to the class of bronchodilators that relaxes muscles and widens the airways making breathing easier in people with respiratory complications. Menthol is a cooling agent that produces a cooling sensation and provides relief from minor throat irritation due to cough deposition.

Take Ventex Syrup as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you take Ventex Syrup based on your medical condition. Some people may experience diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, headache, dizziness, skin rash, tremor, stomach upset, and fast heartbeats. Most of these side effects of Ventex Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Ventex Syrup or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy, it is advised to inform your doctor before taking Ventex Syrup . Avoid taking Ventex Syrup while breastfeeding as it is excreted in breast milk and may cause adverse effects in the baby. If you are suffering from fits or have a history of fits, please inform your doctor before taking Ventex Syrup as it may increase the risk of recurrent fits. If you have diabetes, regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is recommended while taking Ventex Syrup . If you have diabetes, fits, high blood pressure, glaucoma, cough for a long time, chronic bronchitis (swelling and irritation of the lining of airways), emphysema (lung condition resulting in shortness of breath), overactive thyroid, phenylketonuria (a congenital disability that causes accumulation of amino acid, phenylalanine in the body), ulcers in the stomach or intestines, kidney, liver or heart problems, please inform your doctor before taking Ventex Syrup .
