Instaryl Expectorent is used in the treatment of productive cough (cough associated with mucus) in children. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways, thereby preventing respiratory infection. There are two types of coughs, namely, Dry cough and Chesty/Wet/Productive cough. A dry cough means it's tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty/wet cough means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear the airways.

Instaryl Expectorent is a combination of two drugs, namely Terbutaline (bronchodilator) and Bromhexine (mucolytic agent or cough thinner). Terbutaline sulphate relaxes muscles and widens the airways. Thereby it makes breathing easier. Bromhexine hydrochloride works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Thereby, it helps to cough out easily.

Use Instaryl Expectorent as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often your child needs to take Instaryl Expectorent based on his/her medical condition. In some cases, Instaryl Expectorent may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, tremor, nervousness or rapid heartbeat. Most of these side effects of Instaryl Expectorent do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Do not use Instaryl Expectorent if your child is allergic to any of the ingredients in Instaryl Expectorent . If your child is suffering from any medical condition or is under any specific medication, please inform your doctor before using this medicine.
