About Macbery Pead Drops

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.
