Ascoril Plus Expectorant belongs to a class of respiratory medication called 'expectorant' primarily used to treat cough. It helps in dissolving hard phlegm (sputum/cough), which makes breathing difficult, usually in respiratory problems like allergies, sinusitis, common cold, bronchitis, flu etc. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. 

Ascoril Plus Expectorant is a combination of four drugs, namely: Bromhexine hydrochloride, Guaifenesin, Menthol and Terbutaline sulphate. Bromhexine hydrochloride works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose, making it easier to cough it out. Guaifenesin works by increasing the volume of fluid in the airways, thereby reducing the stickiness or viscosity of mucus, making it easier for airway passage. Menthol produces a cooling sensation and provides relief from minor throat irritation due to cough deposition. Terbutaline sulphate relaxes muscles and widens the airways making breathing easier in people with respiratory complications.
