Cheston Expectorant Raspberry SF is used to treat cough associated with mucus. It increases the volume of fluid in the airways, reduces the stickiness of mucus, and removes it from the airways. Additionally, it works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nasal passages. Thereby, it helps to cough up easily. It may cause side effects, including nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, dry mouth, and blurred vision. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

About Cheston Expectorant Raspberry SF

Cheston Expectorant Raspberry SF belongs to the class of medicine called 'expectorant', primarily used to treat cough associated with mucus. Coughing (dry or productive) is the 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 may cause a tickling sensation in the back of the throat, and it doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, whereas a chesty cough means mucus or sputum is produced to help clear your airways.

Cheston Expectorant Raspberry SF is a combination of three drugs, namely Guaifenesin (expectorant), Chlorpheniramine (bronchodilator), and Bromhexine (mucolytic agent or cough thinner). Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that increase the volume of fluid in the airways, reduce the stickiness of mucus, and remove it from the airways. Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine (an anti-allergic drug) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for triggering allergic reactions. Bromhexine belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that work by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Thereby, it helps to cough up easily.

Your doctor will recommend how often you take Cheston Expectorant Raspberry SF based on your medical condition. Some people may experience nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, dry mouth, and blurred vision.
