Bacantus Syrup 100 ml

Bacantus Syrup is a combination medication used to treat productive cough associated with bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), bronchitis (inflammation of bronchial tubes), and emphysema (shortness of breath). Coughing (dry or productive) is a body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection.

Bacantus Syrup consists of Ambroxol hydrochloride, Terbutaline sulphate, Guaiphenesin, and Menthol. Ambroxol hydrochloride is a mucolytic agent that makes sputum less viscous, making it easier to cough out. Terbutaline sulphate is a bronchodilator that works by widening and relaxing the airways of the lungs. Guaiphenesin is an expectorant which reduces the thickness/viscosity of bronchial secretions (phlegm) and increases mucus flow making it easier to cough. Menthol relieves throat irritation.

Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of the course based on the severity of your condition. In some cases, Bacantus Syrup may cause common side effects like nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, sweating, muscle cramps, dizziness, and headache. These side effects do not require medical attention and resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Bacantus Syrup or any other medication. Inform your doctor if you have heart, liver, kidney diseases, stomach ulcers, seizures (fits), high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, diabetes, inflammation of air passages, lung disorders, and difficulty breathing before taking Bacantus Syrup . Check with your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid alcohol while taking Bacantus Syrup , since it can worsen side effects like dizziness and sleepiness.

Bacantus Syrup contains Ambroxol hydrochloride, Terbutaline sulphate, Guaiphenesin, and Menthol. Ambroxol hydrochloride is a mucolytic agent that makes sputum less viscous, making it easier to cough out. Terbutaline sulphate is a bronchodilator which works by widening and relaxing the airways (bronchi) of the lungs. Guaiphenesin is an expectorant that reduces the thickness/viscosity of bronchial secretions (phlegm) and increases mucus flow making it easier to cough. Menthol produces a sensation of coolness and relieves throat irritation.

Bacantus Syrup should be used with caution in patients with heart, liver, kidney diseases, fits, stomach ulcers, high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, inflammation of air passages, lung disorders, and difficulty breathing. If you have diabetes, let your doctor know since Bacantus Syrup may affect blood sugar levels. Using Bacantus Syrup with painkillers like aspirin can damage the gastro mucosal barrier (protects the stomach from the attack of acid); hence Bacantus Syrup should be cautiously administered in patients with a stomach ulcer. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use Bacantus Syrup with proper consultation and caution. Avoid consuming alcohol with Bacantus Syrup as it could lead to increased drowsiness or dizziness. Do not drive if you feel sleepy or have an increased heart rate or shakiness after taking Bacantus Syrup .

• Quit smoking and avoid passive smoking. Smoking also reduces the effectiveness of the medicine.
• Drink warm fluids while you take Bacantus Syrup to help loosen congestion and lubricate the throat.
• Eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly to strengthen your breathing muscles and boost your immune system.
• Learning breathing exercises will help you move more air in and out of your lungs.
