Q) How does COFDREX T SYRUP work?
A) COFDREX T SYRUP is a combination of four drugs: Ambroxol (Mucolytic agent), Guaiphenesin (Expectorant), Menthol (Organic compound) and Terbutaline (Bronchodilator). Ambroxol loosens and thins the mucus making it easier to cough out. Guaiphenesin works by drawing water into the bronchi (air passages branching into the lungs). The released water thins and lubricates the airways, this facilitates removal of cold, flu and allergy associated with mucus from the chest by coughing. This makes breathing easier. Menthol relieves minor throat irritation and provides cooling effect. Terbutaline relaxes and widens the muscles in the airways.
