How Does It Work?
Ambroxol acts as a mucolytic agent. It works by loosening/thinning up the mucous in the respiratory passages and makes the mucous less sticky. Thereby helps in removing the cough out.
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 helps make breathing easier. Guaifenesin is an expectorant; it helps thin the mucous in the airways and makes it easier to cough out and clear the airways.
Snikuf Xp Syrup works by the combined action of its three components and helps in easing the symptoms of bronchospasm (spasm or constriction in the airways)....

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I take Snikuf Xp during dry cough?
A: Snikuf Xp is generally used for wet cough only. It helps to loosen up the mucous so that it can be removed easily through coughing. Your doctor will suggest you this medicine after examining you only, whether it's a dry cough or wet cough.
Q: What is an expectorant?
A: An ‘expectorant’ is any medicine that expels the sputum (phlegm or mucous) from your airways to the outside by the way of cough.
Productive or chesty cough (cough with sputum) results when secretions of the airways are increased due to viral or bacterial infections or dust, pollen or other allergies. The secretions will mix with other cells and substances in the airways and congest the airways causing tightness in the chest, problematic breathing and cough. The body wants to expel these secretions by way of cough. Snikuf Xp Syrup thins down the secretions and increases cough by which will relieve the congestion of the airways.
This medicine is proven to be safe and efficient for the treatment of cough associated with chest congestion.
Q: What kind of food should I avoid?
A: It is recommended to avoid spicy, cold and oily foodstuffs to avoid irritation in the throat.
Q: What if one stops taking Snikuf Xp Syrup?
A: If Snikuf Xp Syrup is stopped before the prescribed time, this may affect the effectiveness of this medicine and may lead to cough not being cured. Also, it is advisable not to start this syrup on one’s own wish without having a proper consultation with one’s treating physician.
