What is ASMOTONE PLUS (SUGER FREE) SYRUP used for?

ASMOTONE PLUS (SUGER FREE) SYRUP is primarily used to manage wet or productive cough associated with bronchial asthma, infections, or inflammation in the lungs, throat, and airways.

The syrup helps to thin mucus, making it easier to cough out, and can also relieve symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes.

How does ASMOTONE PLUS (SUGER FREE) SYRUP work?

This syrup is a combination of three active ingredients: Bromhexine, Guaifenesin, and Terbutaline.

• Bromhexine acts as a mucolytic agent, which thins and loosens thick mucus (phlegm) by breaking down its fibers, making it easier to expel from the respiratory tract.
• Guaifenesin is an expectorant that increases the volume of bronchial secretions and reduces the stickiness of mucus, aiding its removal through coughing.
• Terbutaline is a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles in the airways, widening them and improving airflow to the lungs, which makes breathing easier. It also inhibits the release of certain inflammation-causing substances.
