How Broxet Syrup works
Broxet Syrup is a combination of four medicines: Terbutaline, Ambroxol, Guaifenesin and Flavoured Mentholated base which relieve cough with mucus. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens airways. Ambroxol is a mucolytic which thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Guaifenesin is an expectorant which decreases the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) and helps in its removal from the airways. Flavoured Mentholated base produces a cooling sensation and relieves minor throat irritation.
