About Grilinctus-BM Tablet

Grilinctus-BM Tablet is used to treat cough associated with asthma, bronchitis (inflamed airways) and other airways (bronchopulmonary) problems. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs, namely dry cough and chesty 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.

Grilinctus-BM Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Terbutaline sulphate and Bromhexine. Terbutaline sulphate belongs to the class of bronchodilators that dilates (expands) and relaxes the air passages in the lungs, thereby making breathing easier, especially in people with airway problems or obstructive respiratory disorders. On the other hand, Bromhexine belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (mucus/cough/phlegm thinner) that works by thinning and loosening mucus in the lungs, windpipe and nose, which helps ease coughing out.
