How AERODIL SUGAR FREE MIXED FRUIT FLAVOUR EXPECTORANT Works

AERODIL SUGAR FREE MIXED FRUIT FLAVOUR EXPECTORANT contains a combination of Ambroxol, Guaiphenesin, and Terbutaline works together to relieve respiratory symptoms like productive cough and bronchospasms (tightening of the airways).

Ambroxol acts as a mucolytic, which means it helps to break down and thin the mucus, making it easier to cough up and clear from the airways.
Guaiphenesin is an expectorant that increases the volume and reduces the viscosity of mucus, helping to clear it more effectively from the respiratory tract.
Terbutaline is a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles in the airways, helping to open them up and ease breathing by reducing bronchospasms.
