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.

Menthol produces a sensation of coolness and relieves minor throat irritation.
