About Oxydex Syrup

Oxydex Syrup belongs to the class of medicines called ‘expectorants’ primarily used to treat Asthma and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a chronic breathing problem that affects the airways in the lungs. These airways, also known as bronchial tubes, allow air to move in and out of the lungs. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic lung disorder in which there is difficulty emptying the air of the lungs (airflow obstruction). Due to this obstruction, patients experience difficulty in breathing.

Acebrophylline, Terbutaline, and Menthol are the active ingredients in Oxydex Syrup. Acebrophylline is a bronchodilator and a mucolytic. It works by relaxing the muscles of the airways as well as thinning and loosening mucus, making breathing easier. Terbutaline functions as a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing airway muscles and widening airways. This makes it easier to breathe. Menthol is an organic chemical that generates a cooling feeling and reduces minor throat irritation. Thus, Oxydex Syrup relieves the symptoms of Asthma and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Take this medicine as recommended. The common side effects of Oxydex Syrup are stomach pain or discomfort, vomiting, constipation, heartburn, loss of appetite, drowsiness, dizziness, skin rash, itching, nervousness, tremors, and headache. Most of these side effects of Oxydex Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor immediately.

Do not take Oxydex Syrup if you are allergic to any components present in it. Before taking Oxydex Syrup, inform your doctor if you have diabetes, fits, hypotension (low blood pressure), overactive thyroid, hypokalemia (low potassium levels in the blood), stomach ulcers, phenylketonuria (a birth defect that causes accumulation of amino acid, phenylalanine in the body), arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms), and kidney, liver or heart problems.
