How ASCORIL + HONEY ROSE FLAVOUR EXPECTORANT Works
ASCORIL + HONEY ROSE FLAVOUR EXPECTORANT is a combination of Bromhexine, Guaiphenesin and Terbutaline. Bromhexine liquifies thick, tenacious sputum. Viscosity of sputum is reduced by dissolving mucopolysaccharide fibres and also improves mucociliary clearance of secretions. Guaiphenesin increases the output of sputum and bronchial secretions by reducing adhesiveness and surface tension. By increasing the volume of bronchial secretions, it reduces the viscosity of tenacious sputum. Terbutaline is a directly acting sympathomimetic agent with selective b2 stimulant effect which helps to alleviate bronchospasm associated with cough.
