About Brox Syrup

AMBROXOL+GUAIFENESIN+SALBUTAMOL is a combination of respiratory medication used to treat asthma, cough with mucus, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) like bronchitis (inflammation of bronchial tubes), emphysema (shortness of breath), and upper respiratory tract infections. Asthma is a breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. 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 nose, throat, pharynx, larynx, and bronchi.

Uses of Brox Syrup

Cough with mucus, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), bronchitis, emphysema and upper respiratory tract infections.

Medicinal Benefits of Brox Syrup

AMBROXOL+GUAIFENESIN+SALBUTAMOL consists of three medicines, namely: Ambroxol, Guaifenesin and Salbutamol. Ambroxol is an 'expectorant' and a 'mucolytic agent', It promotes the secretion of sputum/cough and a 'mucolytic agent' that makes sputum less viscous to make the breathing easier. Being an expectorant, Guaifenesin reduces the thickness or viscosity of bronchial secretions (phlegm) and increases mucus flow making it easier to cough. Salbutamol belongs to the class of 'bronchodilators'. It widens and relaxes the airways (bronchi) of the lungs.
