About Salbusun Expectorent

Salbusun Expectorent is used to treat cough associated with respiratory disorders like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes). Coughing occurs as a reflex action in the throat when there is mucus or any other foreign irritant in the throat.

Salbusun Expectorent consists of two medicines: Salbutamol (widens narrowed airways) and Ambroxol (dilutes viscous cough). Salbutamol belongs to the class of drugs known as 'bronchodilators' that work by widening and relaxing the airways (bronchi) of the lungs. On the other hand, Ambroxol is an 'expectorant' (promotes the secretion of sputum/cough) and 'mucolytic agent' (makes sputum less viscous) to make breathing easier in asthma, and COPD patients who have laboured breathing.

Your doctor will advise on how often you take Salbusun Expectorent based on your medical condition. The common side effects of Salbusun Expectorent include nausea, vomiting, restlessness, tremors, headache, muscle cramps, dizziness, sleepiness and increased heart rate. Most of these side effects of Salbusun Expectorent do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medicine, as it can worsen your sleepiness.

Try not to stop taking this medicine on your own. Brief your medical history if you have heart, liver, kidney diseases, stomach ulcers, seizures (fits), high blood pressure, and diabetes before taking Salbusun Expectorent . Check with your doctor if you are pregnant, currently breastfeeding, or taking any other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines. Salbusun Expectorent causes dizziness and sleepiness; hence, drive only when you are alert. Alcohol consumption may also lead to increased dizziness and sleepiness, so it is recommended to avoid it.
