Relief of productive cough with mucus, chest congestion, wheezing and bronchospasm in conditions such as bronchitis, asthma and COPD

Terbutaline is a beta-2 bronchodilator that relaxes airway smooth muscles to ease breathing. Bromhexine acts as a mucolytic to thin and loosen thick mucus, while guaiphenesin helps expectoration. Menthol provides a soothing effect and helps relieve throat/chest irritation.

Take by mouth using a measuring cup/spoon. Usually taken 2-3 times daily as advised by the doctor; may be taken with or without food. Shake well before use and drink adequate fluids to help loosen mucus.

Nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, tremor, palpitations, nervousness, throat irritation

Use with caution in heart disease, hypertension, arrhythmias, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, glaucoma, and seizure disorders. Do not exceed recommended dose; may cause tremor and fast heartbeat. Seek medical help if breathing worsens, fever persists, or cough lasts >7 days. Use in children only on medical advice.

Beta-blockers (may reduce bronchodilation), MAO inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants (may increase cardiovascular effects), other sympathomimetics (additive effects), diuretics/corticosteroids/theophylline (may increase risk of low potassium and cardiac effects), antidiabetic medicines (may need monitoring)
