Tushin Expectorant belongs to the class of medications called expectorants primarily used to treat a cough with mucus. A sudden expulsion of air through the large breathing passages can help clear them of fluids, irritants, foreign particles, and microbes. There are two types of coughs, namely: dry cough and chesty cough (wet cough). A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways. Tushin Expectorant is mainly used for the treatment of wet cough.
Tushin Expectorant contains 'Guaifenesin'. Tushin Expectorant works by reducing the thickness of mucus in the air passages, this makes it easier to cough up the mucus and clear the airways.
