NT Kuf M Syrup is a combination of three drugs, namely Guaifenesin, Terbutaline and Bromhexine, used to treat a cough with mucus. Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that works by increasing the volume of fluid in the airways, reducing the stickiness of mucus and helping to remove it from the airways. Terbutaline belongs to the class of bronchodilators that relaxes muscles and widens the airways. Thus, it makes breathing easier. Bromhexine belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in lungs, windpipe and nose. Thus, it helps cough out easily.
