How Does It Work?

• Asthakind Expectorant sugar-free works by the combined action of its components: terbutaline, guaifenesin and bromhexine.
• Terbutaline has bronchodilator properties. It relaxes the muscles of the airways and inhibits the release of inflammation-causing chemical substances. Thereby, it improves airflow to the lungs and makes breathing easier.
• Guaifenesin is an expectorant, so it helps to thin the mucus in the airways and makes it easier to cough out and clear the airways.
• Bromhexine helps in reducing the mucous by boosting the production of phlegm in the respiratory tract and aids to make the mucus thinner and less sticky. Therefore, it makes the expulsion of cough easier.
