About Chupp Soft Gelatin Capsule

Chupp Soft Gelatin Capsule 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. A wet/chesty cough means mucus or sputum is produced to help clear the airways.

Chupp Soft Gelatin Capsule contains Guaiphenesin (expectorant), Terbutaline (bronchodilator) and Bromhexine (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 the airways. Terbutaline relaxes muscles and widens the airways. Thereby, it makes breathing easier. Bromhexine works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Thereby, it helps to cough out easily.

Take Chupp Soft Gelatin Capsule as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you should take Chupp Soft Gelatin Capsule, based on your medical condition. Some people may experience nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, headache, dizziness, skin rash, tremor, stomach upset and fast heartbeats. Most of these side effects of Chupp Soft Gelatin Capsule do not require medical attention and typically resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
