Terbutaline Sulphate+bromhexine Hydrochloride+guaiphenesin

About Terbutaline Sulphate+bromhexine Hydrochloride+guaiphenesin

Terbutaline Sulphate+bromhexine Hydrochloride+guaiphenesin belongs to the class of medicine called 'expectorant' primarily used to treat cough associated with mucus. Coughing (dry or productive) is a body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways, thereby preventing respiratory infection. There are two types of coughs, namely: Dry cough and Chesty cough. A dry cough means it's tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear the airways.

Terbutaline Sulphate+bromhexine Hydrochloride+guaiphenesin is a combination of three drugs, namely Guaiphenesin (expectorant), Terbutaline sulphate (bronchodilator) and Bromhexine hydrochloride (mucolytic agent or cough thinner). Guaiphenesin works by increasing the volume of fluid in the airways, reducing the stickiness of mucus and helping to remove it from airways. Terbutaline sulphate relaxes muscles and widens the airways. Thereby, it makes breathing easier. Bromhexine hydrochloride works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Thereby, it helps to cough out easily.

    Patients Concern

    Disease/Condition Glossary

    Cough: Coughing is a body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Coughs may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings up sputum (phlegm, mucus and other matter) from the lungs. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection but coughing up mucus is possibly an indication of disease in the respiratory tract. If you are coughing thick, solid white mucus, it indicates you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. If the mucus is clear or light-coloured, it means you may have allergies or minor illness in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
