Other General Warnings

How Does It Work?

• Ambroxol is a cough medicine that helps your lungs by thinning sticky mucus, allowing you to cough it out more easily. It also boosts the lungs' natural slippery lining (surfactant) to prevent mucus from sticking. It even numbs your throat a bit to ease soreness.
• Guaifenesin is an expectorant, which means it helps your body clear mucus by making it thinner and less sticky. It does this by drawing extra fluid into your airways and loosening thick mucus, allowing it to be moved easily by the tiny hairs (cilia) in your lungs. Once the mucus is thinned, your cough becomes more effective, helping to clear your chest and make breathing easier.
• Salbutamol (also known as albuterol) is a fast-acting bronchodilator that helps you breathe more easily. It does this by relaxing the tight muscles around your airways, which opens them up within minutes. Think of it as a quick "airway opener" that relieves wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath when you need it most.
• Menthol is a cooling and soothing agent used in cough drops, throat sprays, and chest rubs. When inhaled or applied, menthol fools your cold-sensing nerves (called TRPM8 receptors) into perceiving a refreshing coolness without actually lowering your temperature.
