How Solvin Cough Syrup works

Bromhexine is a mucolytic/expectorant that thins and loosens thick bronchial secretions by depolymerizing mucopolysaccharide fibers. This reduces sputum viscosity and improves mucociliary clearance, making it easier to cough out phlegm.

How to take Solvin Cough Syrup

Oral syrup. Take as prescribed by the doctor; measure with a calibrated cup/spoon. Can be taken with or without food; drink plenty of fluids to help loosen mucus. Do not exceed the recommended dose.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take the missed dose of Solvin Cough as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.

If you take too much

Taking more Solvin Cough than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.
