ASCODEX PLUS EXPECTORANT 100ML

ASCODEX PLUS EXPECTORANT 100ML belongs to a group of medicines called expectorants and cough products used to treat cough. Coughing (dry or productive) is a body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways, thereby preventing respiratory infection. The cough may be of two types, namely: Dry cough and Chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough produces mucous or sputum.

ASCODEX PLUS EXPECTORANT 100ML is a combination of four drugs, namely: Ammonium chloride (expectorant), Bromhexine (mucolytic agent), Diphenhydramine (antihistamine), and Guaifenesin (expectorant). Ammonium chloride and Guaifenesin help loosen the congestion in the chest and throat, making it easier to cough out. Bromhexine reduces mucous viscosity, thereby helps in coughing out phlegm. Diphenhydramine blocks the action of a chemical substance called histamine, which is responsible for causing allergic reactions. Together, ASCODEX PLUS EXPECTORANT 100ML helps in treating cough.

You are advised to take ASCODEX PLUS EXPECTORANT 100ML for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition.
