How Kufnil-A Syrup works

Kufnil-A Syrup is a combination of four medicines: Ambroxol, Bromhexine, Guaifenesin and Menthol which relieve cough. Ambroxol and Bromhexine are mucolytics which thin and loosen mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Guaifenesin is an expectorant which decreases the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) and further helps in its removal from the airways. Menthol produces a sensation of coolness and relieves minor throat irritation.
