Description
Bro-Cofdex Syrup 100ml, manufactured by Cipla Ltd., is a combination cough syrup used to provide relief from productive (wet) cough associated with respiratory tract infections, asthma, bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It helps loosen thick mucus, makes it easier to cough out phlegm, and relieves airway spasm and irritation.
How It Works
-
Terbutaline (1.25mg): A bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles, making breathing easier.
-
Bromhexine (4mg): A mucolytic that breaks down and thins mucus for easy expulsion.
-
Guaifenesin (50mg): An expectorant that helps clear mucus from airways.
-
Menthol (2.5mg): Provides a cooling sensation, reduces throat irritation, and eases cough.
