About Zitocuf AT Syrup

AMBROXOL+GUAIFENESIN+MENTHOL+TERBUTALINE is a combination medication which promotes the secretion of sputum (phlegm) by the airways (bronchi), used to treat coughs. It treats respiratory conditions including bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis, 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.

Medicinal Benefits of Zitocuf AT Syrup

AMBROXOL+GUAIFENESIN+MENTHOL+TERBUTALINE is a expectorant (cough syrup) which contains Ambroxol, Terbutaline, Guaifenesin, and Menthol. Ambroxol is an 'expectorant' that promotes the secretion of sputum/cough and '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.
