What is the correct dose of Ascoril plus syrup expectorant for my long-term winter cough, how long can I safely take it, and should I be worried about the hand shaking I am experiencing as a side effect?
For Ascoril Plus (which contains terbutaline, bromhexine, and guaifenesin), the typical adult dose is 10 ml three times daily, but it should generally only be used for 5 to 7 days. Since your cough is long-term, please consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis. The hand shaking you feel is a very common, temporary side effect of terbutaline, the bronchodilator in the syrup. While it is usually harmless and resolves once the medication is stopped, it is best to discuss this with your physician to ensure your treatment is safe and comfortable for you.
