About Sputnix AB Syrup

Sputnix AB Syrup belongs to the class of medicines called ‘expectorants’ primarily used to treat cough associated with mucus, called chesty cough. Coughing (dry or productive) is a body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs, namely: 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.

Sputnix AB Syrup is a combination of three medicines: Acebrophylline, Guaifenesin, and Terbutaline. Acebrophylline is a mucolytic agent (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that works by increasing the volume of fluid in the airways, reduces the stickiness of mucus, and helps to remove it from airways. Terbutaline belongs to the class of bronchodilators that relaxes muscles and widens the airways.

You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Sputnix AB Syrup are stomach pain or discomfort, vomiting, constipation, heartburn, loss of appetite, drowsiness, dizziness, skin rash, itching, nervousness, tremors, and headache. Most of these side effects of Sputnix AB Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor immediately.

Do not take Sputnix AB Syrup if you are allergic to Acebrophylline, Guaifenesin, Terbutaline, or any other contents of it. Before taking Sputnix AB Syrup , inform your doctor if you have diabetes, fits, hypotension (low blood pressure), overactive thyroid, hypokalemia (low potassium levels in the blood), stomach ulcers, phenylketonuria (a birth defect that causes accumulation of amino acid, phenylalanine in the body), arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms), and kidney, liver or heart problems. Also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
