About Cheston Expectorant Raspberry SF

Cheston Expectorant Raspberry SF belongs to the class of medicine called 'expectorant' primarily used to treat cough associated with mucus. Coughing (dry or productive) is a body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways, thereby preventing respiratory infection. There are two types of coughs, namely: Dry cough and Chesty cough. A dry cough may cause a tickling sensation in the back of the throat, and it doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, whereas a chesty cough means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways.

Cheston Expectorant Raspberry SF is a combination of three drugs, namely Guaifenesin (expectorant), Chlorpheniramine (bronchodilator), and Bromhexine (mucolytic agent or cough thinner). Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that increase the volume of fluid in the airways, reduce the stickiness of mucus, and remove it from the airways. Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine (anti-allergic drug) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Bromhexine belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Thereby, it helps to cough out easily.

Your doctor will recommend how often you take Cheston Expectorant Raspberry SF based on your medical condition. Some people may experience nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, dry mouth, and blurred vision. Most of these side effects of Cheston Expectorant Raspberry SF do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Cheston Expectorant Raspberry SF or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before taking Cheston Expectorant Raspberry SF . If you have hypertension, hyperthyroidism, please inform your doctor before taking Cheston Expectorant Raspberry SF . If you have diabetes, regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is recommended while taking Cheston Expectorant Raspberry SF . Do not take Cheston Expectorant Raspberry SF if you suffer from severe hypertension, severe coronary artery disease or if you are already taking medication used to treat depression called monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor.
