Product Description

Terbutaline 1.25 mg, Ambroxol 15 mg, Guaifenesin 50 mg & Menthol per 5 ml Syrup 100 ml IP is a combination expectorant syrup used to relieve cough associated with excessive mucus (productive or wet cough).

It contains terbutaline sulphate (a bronchodilator), ambroxol HCl (a mucolytic), guaifenesin (an expectorant), and menthol (a soothing agent).

This syrup thins and loosens mucus in the airways, facilitates its expulsion, relaxes bronchial muscles for easier breathing, and provides a cooling sensation to soothe throat irritation.

It is indicated for conditions like common cold, acute bronchitis, or COPD exacerbations with viscous sputum. Take as prescribed; do not use it for a dry cough or without medical advice, as it may worsen symptoms. Inform your doctor of all medications to avoid interactions.

Avoid being allergic to any component, or in cases of severe uncontrolled asthma, heart disease, or hyperthyroidism, without supervision.

Uses

Terbutaline, Ambroxol, Guaifenesin & Menthol Syrup is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of:

• Productive cough with excessive mucus secretion (e.g., in common cold, flu, or upper respiratory tract infections)

• Acute or chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, or COPD exacerbations where mucus clearance is impaired

• Cough with chest congestion, facilitating easier expectoration and reducing irritation
  

How it works

• Ambroxol HCl (15 mg/5 ml): A mucolytic that breaks down thick mucus by increasing surfactant production and stimulating ciliary activity in the airways, making phlegm thinner and easier to cough out.

• Terbutaline Sulphate (1.25 mg/5 ml): A selective beta-2 adrenergic agonist that relaxes smooth muscles in the bronchi, acting as a bronchodilator to widen airways and improve airflow.

• Guaifenesin (50 mg/5 ml): An expectorant that increases the volume and reduces the viscosity of bronchial secretions, promoting their removal through coughing.

• Menthol: Provides a cooling, anesthetic effect on the throat mucosa, relieving irritation and minor soreness without pharmacological action.

Together, they enhance mucus clearance, reduce cough frequency, and ease breathing in productive cough scenarios.

Benefits

This syrup provides quick relief (within 30–60 minutes) from a productive cough by loosening thick mucus, making it easier to expel, and opening airways for better ventilation. 

It reduces cough frequency, soothes throat irritation with a cooling sensation, and alleviates chest congestion, helping you breathe more comfortably during respiratory infections like colds or bronchitis.

Adjunctive measures like staying hydrated (drink lukewarm water) and gargling with salt water enhance its effects, promoting faster symptom resolution without suppressing the cough reflex (beneficial for clearing infections).
