Product Introduction:
AFEX SYRUP is a medication that combines Terbutaline Sulphate (1.25mg) and Guaifenesin (IP 50mg). It is commonly used to alleviate respiratory symptoms associated with conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, and other respiratory disorders. Terbutaline Sulphate is a bronchodilator, while Guaifenesin is an expectorant.
Benefits:
- Terbutaline Sulphate (1.25mg): Terbutaline is a bronchodilator that helps to relax the smooth muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe. It is commonly used to relieve symptoms of bronchospasm associated with conditions like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- Guaifenesin (IP 50mg): Guaifenesin is an expectorant that helps to thin and loosen mucus in the airways, making it easier to clear the respiratory passages. This can be particularly beneficial for conditions involving excessive mucus production, such as bronchitis.
Side Effects:
As with any medication, AFEX SYRUP may cause side effects. Common side effects may include nervousness, tremors, increased heart rate, and nausea. Guaifenesin can cause mild gastrointestinal effects such as stomach upset. It is essential to notify your healthcare provider if any severe or persistent side effects occur.
