Coscoril Oral Drop belongs to a class of drugs called 'mucolytic agents' (cough/sputum thinner) primarily used to treat Cough. It also treats acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) respiratory diseases associated with excess mucus. Acute respiratory diseases are initially associated with dry, irritating cough, hoarseness in laryngitis (swelling of the voice box) or burning sensation in the chest due to bronchitis (swelling of the lining of bronchial tubes). Then, wet mucus forms, and continuous coughing out of sputum occurs. In chronic respiratory diseases, both dry, irritating cough and wet cough with mucus occur.

Coscoril Oral Drop contains Ambroxol, which works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Coscoril Oral Drop breaks down the acid mucopolysaccharide fibres that make the mucous (sputum) thinner and less dense/viscous. Coughing efficiently removes sputum. However, the viscosity of sputum remains low for as long as treatment is maintained.

Take Coscoril Oral Drop as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you take Coscoril Oral Drop based on your medical condition. Some people may experience nausea, taste change, and numbness in the mouth, tongue and throat.
