Benefits of Briomont Syrup
In Prevention of Asthma

This means you can carry out your daily activities more easily and more confidently. It may take a few weeks for this medicine to show its full effects. This medicine will not stop an asthma attack that has already started.

Why do you have to take Briomont Syrup at night?
Usually, it is recommended to take Briomont Syrup in the evening when it is being used for asthma and allergic rhinitis (cough and cold due to allergy).
