About Ambroxol Hydrochloride+guaiphenesin+dextromethorphan Hydrobromide+chlorpheniramine Maleate+menthol
Ambroxol Hydrochloride+chlorpheniramine Maleate+dextromethorphan Hydrobromide+guaiphenesin+menthol is used to treat cough and allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, throat irritation, or watery eyes. 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 created to help clear the airways.
Ambroxol Hydrochloride+chlorpheniramine Maleate+dextromethorphan Hydrobromide+guaiphenesin+menthol contains Ambroxol hydrochloride, Guaiphenesin, Dextromethorphan hydrobromide, Chlorpheniramine maleate, and Menthol. Ambroxol works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Guaiphenesin is an expectorant that helps clear mucus from the airways. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide works by blocking the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough. Thus, decreasing the need to cough. Chlorpheniramine maleate is an antihistamine that blocks histamine, a chemical responsible for allergic reactions. Menthol creates a cooling sensation and provides relief from minor throat irritation.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Cough: Coughing is a body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Coughs may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings up sputum (phlegm, mucus, and other matter) from the lungs. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection but coughing up mucus is possibly an indication of infection in the respiratory tract. If you are coughing thick, solid white mucus, it indicates you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. If the mucus is clear or light-colored, it indicates you may have allergies or minor infection in the respiratory tract and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
