Description
Macbery Junior Expectorant is a paediatric cough syrup designed for children to relieve wet cough with mucus, chest congestion, and breathing difficulty.
-
Ambroxol: A mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus, making it easier to cough out.
-
Levosalbutamol: A bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles and helps open up the lungs for easier breathing.
-
Guaifenesin: An expectorant that increases mucus clearance from the airways and throat.
Together, these ingredients provide effective relief from productive cough in children due to respiratory infections.
