Benefits

In Cough: Ascoril + either loosens the mucus so a chesty cough clears it more easily, or settles the reflex behind a dry, tickly cough, depending on the type you have been given.
In Chest congestion: Ascoril + thins thick mucus in the chest so it can be coughed up, easing the heaviness and rattling and helping you breathe more freely.
In Common cold symptoms: Ascoril + relieves the blocked nose, cough and congestion of a cold so you can rest and get on with your day while the infection runs its course.

How to use

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Ascoril 100mg/2.5mg/8mg Tablet may be taken with or without food.

How it works

Guaifenesin is an expectorant that decreases the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) and helps in its removal from the airways. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widening them. Bromhexine is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Together, they make breathing easier.
