AERODIL EXPECTORENT 100ML

Product Introduction:

Aerodil Expectorant is a combination medication that includes three active ingredients: Ambroxol (15mg/5ml), Guaifenesin (50mg/5ml), and Terbutaline (1.25mg/5ml). Ambroxol is an expectorant, Guaifenesin is also an expectorant, and Terbutaline is a bronchodilator. Together, they work to alleviate respiratory symptoms associated with conditions like cough and congestion.

Give Aerodil Expectorant to your child orally, with or without food. Give it with food to reduce the chances of stomach upset. You may be required to give this medicine to your child for a few days to weeks, depending upon your child’s clinical condition and severity of the illness. Do not stop the medication abruptly by yourself, even if your child starts to feel better. Continue the medicine until the prescribed course is complete. Do not give more than the prescribed dose for fast relief as it may cause unwanted effects and worsen your child’s condition.

If your child vomits soon after taking Aerodil Expectorant, help the child calm down and repeat the same dose. Skip the dose if it is time for the next dose. Do not overdose to catch up for the missed one. Do not give this medicine to your child for the long term without consulting your child’s doctor. Check the medicine label thoroughly and never combine this medicine with other cold and flu medicines as that may lead to side effects.

Aerodil Expectorant may have some common and temporary side effects. These may include excessive salivation, fatigue, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, irregular heartbeat, rash, tremors, and numbness or tingling sensation in the hands or feet. In case of worrisome episodes, call your child’s doctor right away.

Narrate your child’s complete medical history, including any previous episode of respiratory illness, allergy, heart problems, blood disorders, birth defects, airway obstruction, lung anomaly, sinus issues, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This information is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.

Benefits:

1. Expectorant Action: Ambroxol and Guaifenesin help thin and loosen mucus, making it easier to expel from the respiratory tract.
2. Bronchodilation: Terbutaline acts as a bronchodilator, helping to widen the airways and ease breathing.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include nausea, headache, dizziness, and gastrointestinal discomfort. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, it’s important to contact your healthcare provider. Terbutaline, being a bronchodilator, may cause increased heart rate or tremors. Report any unusual or concerning symptoms promptly.
