Benefits of Erob Syrup

In Respiratory tract infection

Respiratory tract infections are those infections that can affect the sinuses, throat, airways or lungs. Erob Syrup contains two different medicines, Erythromycin and Bromhexine, that work together to kill the bacteria that cause respiratory tract infections. Erythromycin works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Bromhexine helps to loosen thick mucus, making it easier to cough out. This makes it easier for air to move in and out. It also enhances the activity of Erythromycin against bacteria.
It usually makes you feel better within a few days, but you should continue taking it as prescribed even when you feel better to make sure that all bacteria are killed and do not become resistant.

How Erob Syrup works

Erob Syrup is a combination of two medicines: Erythromycin and Bromhexine which treat respiratory tract infection associated with excessive mucus (phlegm). Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth by inhibiting synthesis of essential proteins which are required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Bromhexine is a mucolytic which thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Addition of Bromhexine enhances the antibacterial effect of Erythromycin.
