About Onimex Syrup

Onimex Syrup belongs to the class of medicines called expectorants, primarily used to treat wet or productive cough. A productive cough is a type of cough that brings up mucus or phlegm from the lungs or airways. It is often referred to as a wet cough because it produces sputum, which helps clear irritants like allergens, bacteria, or mucus from the respiratory system.

Onimex Syrup is a combination of two drugs: Ambroxol (mucolytic agent) and Guaiphenesin (expectorant). Ambroxol hydrochloride acts by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Guaiphenesin raises the volume of fluid in the airways, lowers the stickiness of mucus, and aids in its removal from the airways. Thereby, Onimex Syrup helps provide relief from a cough.

Take Onimex Syrup with or without food. Your doctor will prescribe how frequently you must take Onimex Syrup based on your medical condition. Some people may experience nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, headache, dizziness, stomach upset and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not necessitate medical treatment and resolve gradually over time. However, please consult your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Please inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in Onimex Syrup . Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Inform your doctor if you have heart, liver, or kidney problems, stomach ulcers, thyroid disorders, diabetes, inflammation of air passages, lung disorders, or difficulty breathing. Keep your doctor updated about your medical condition and medications to avoid any potential negative effects.

Uses of Onimex Syrup

Onimex Syrup is used in the treatment of a productive cough. The detailed uses of Onimex Syrup are as follows:<br/>• Management of Wet Cough: It helps break down thick mucus and supports its removal from the lungs and airways, easing breathing.<br/>• Supportive Relief in Respiratory Infections: It can help clear chest congestion associated with colds, flu, and other respiratory tract infections.<br/>

Directions for Use

  • Onimex Syrup can be taken before, after a food, or as your doctor advises.
  • Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
  • Measure the prescribed dose of Onimex Syrup using a measuring cup and administer it orally.
  • Shake the bottle well before each use.

Medicinal Benefits

Onimex Syrup contains Ambroxol and Guaifenesin, which helps in the treatment of wet cough by clearing mucus from the airways. Ambroxol works by breaking down thick mucus, while Guaifenesin helps loosen and remove it from the lungs. This makes it easier to cough out the mucus, relieves chest congestion, and improves breathing. By keeping the airways clear, Onimex Syrup helps feel more comfortable and recover faster from cough and chest infections.

How Onimex Syrup Works

Onimex Syrup works by combining two ingredients, Ambroxol and Guaifenesin, to help clear mucus from the airways. Ambroxol helps break down thick mucus, making it thinner and easier to clear out. Guaifenesin loosens the mucus, making it easier to cough up. Together, these ingredients help reduce chest congestion, relieve coughing, and make it easier to breathe.
