About Proresp (Sugar free)
Proresp belongs to the class of medicines called ‘expectorants’ primarily used to treat cough associated with mucus. 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.
Proresp is a combination of three drugs, namely: Ambroxol 15mg (mucolytic agent), Guaifenesin 50mg (expectorant) and Terbutaline 1.25mg (bronchodilator).
Ambroxol belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in lungs, windpipe and nose. Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that increase the volume of fluid in the airways, reduce the stickiness of mucus, and remove it from airways. Terbutaline belongs to the class of bronchodilators that relaxes muscles and widens the airways. Thereby, it makes breathing easier.
Take Proresp with or without food as advised by your doctor with the help of a measuring cup.
