Consult your doctor first:

Even if the salt is the same, your doctor can confirm if the substitute is right for your condition, dosage, and health history.

Watch out for allergies or reactions:

Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Medicinal Benefits

Broncorex Expectorant is a combination of three drugs, namely Guaiphenesin, Terbutaline sulphate and Bromhexine hydrochloride, used to treat a cough with mucus. Guaiphenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that work by increasing the volume of fluid in the airways, reducing the stickiness of mucus and helping to remove it from the airways. Terbutaline sulphate belongs to the class of bronchodilators that relax muscles and widen the airways. Thereby, it makes breathing easier. Bromhexine hydrochloride belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that work by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Thereby, helps to cough out easily.
