Tuspel Plus Expectorant belongs to a class of respiratory medications called 'expectorant' primarily used to treat cough. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from the airways. There are two types of coughs, namely: Dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) produces mucous or sputum that helps clear the airways.

Tuspel Plus Expectorant consists of four medicines, namely: Bromohexine (mucolytic), Terbutaline (bronchodilator), Ammonium chloride (irritant/expectorant) and Menthol (cooling agent). Bromhexine makes sputum less viscous and makes it easier to cough out. Terbutaline works by dilating (expanding) and relaxing the air passages in the lungs, making breathing easier, especially in people with airway problems or respiratory obstructive disorders. Ammonium chloride is an expectorant that decreases the stickiness of mucous and helps remove it from the airways. Menthol is an organic compound that produces a cooling sensation and relieves throat irritation.

Tuspel Plus Expectorant is available in oral syrup and suspension. The most common side effects of Tuspel Plus Expectorant are nausea, diarrhoea, bloating, indigestion, vomiting, stomach upset, sweating, dizziness, headache and skin rash.
