Kuffken-AM Syrup is an expectorant (cough syrup), which contains Ambroxol, Terbutaline, Guaifenesin, and Menthol. Ambroxol is an 'expectorant' that promotes the secretion of sputum/cough and a 'mucolytic agent' that makes sputum less viscous and makes breathing easier. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator and works by widening and relaxing the airways (bronchi) of the lungs. Guaifenesin is also an 'expectorant'. It reduces the thickness or viscosity of bronchial secretions (phlegm) and increases mucus flow making it easier to cough. Menthol is an organic flavour additive which produces a sensation of coolness and relieves throat irritation.
