Magnatuss-A Syrup is used to treat productive cough (a cough with mucus). It contains Ambroxol, Desloratadine, and Guaifenesin. Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that increases the volume of fluid in the airways, reduces the stickiness of mucus, and helps to remove it from the airways. Desloratadine is an anti-allergic drug that blocks the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness.

About Magnatuss-A Syrup

Magnatuss-A Syrup is 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 and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs: Dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways.

Magnatuss-A Syrup contains Ambroxol (a mucolytic agent), Desloratadine (an antihistamine), and Guaifenesin (an expectorant). Ambroxol works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Guaifenesin increases the volume of fluid in the airways, reduces the stickiness of mucus, and helps to remove it from the airways.
