Macbery Pead Drops 15ml

Macbery Pead Drops is used to treat cough associated with mucus. 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: 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) produces mucous or sputum.

Macbery Pead Drops contains Ambroxol hydrochloride and Levosalbutamol. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes muscles and widens airways in the lungs. Ambroxol is a mucolytic drug (cough/sputum thinner) that thins and loosens phlegm (mucus) in the nose, windpipe, and lungs. As a result, it allows for easier coughing.

Use Macbery Pead Drops as prescribed. Your paediatrician will suggest a suitable dosage regime based on your child's condition. Macbery Pead Drops may cause common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, restlessness, tremors, headache, muscle cramps, dizziness, sleepiness, and increased heart rate. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or bother your child, please seek medical help.

If your child is allergic to any food or medicine, inform your doctor. Also, inform your child's entire medical history, including ongoing medications, to avoid unwanted effects and possible interactions. Do not give more than the prescribed dose. Do not use other cough medicines unless prescribed by the doctor.

Macbery Pead Drops is a combination of two medicines: Levosalbutamol and Ambroxol. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that works by widening and relaxing the airways (bronchi) of the lungs. Ambroxol is an expectorant (relieves congestion) and mucolytic agent (dilutes viscous cough/mucus) that loosens the mucus to make breathing easier. Macbery Pead Drops treats cough associated with respiratory disorders like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Macbery Pead Drops effectively treats COPD like emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes).

Cough: Coughing is the body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Coughs may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings up sputum (phlegm, mucus and other matter) from the lungs. A dry cough does not produce sputum. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection, but coughing up mucus is possibly an infection in the respiratory tract.
