About New Zeet 8 mg/10 mg Tablet

New Zeet 8 mg/10 mg Tablet belongs to a combination medication called ‘expectorant’ primarily used to treat common cold symptoms with cough and allergic symptoms, including stuffy nose and sinus congestion. 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. 

New Zeet 8 mg/10 mg Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Bromhexine (mucolytic agent) and Phenylephrine (decongestant). Bromhexine is a mucolytic agent (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Thus, it helps to cough out easily. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that works by contracting and narrowing the blood vessels. Therefore, it provides relief from congestion and decreases mucus production.
