About Ascoril Plus Expectorant 120 ml

Ascoril Plus Expectorant 120 ml belongs to a class of respiratory medication called 'expectorant' primarily used to treat cough. It helps in dissolving hard phlegm (sputum/cough), which makes breathing difficult, usually in respiratory problems like allergies, sinusitis, common cold, bronchitis, flu etc. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. 

Ascoril Plus Expectorant 120 ml is a combination of four drugs, namely: Bromhexine hydrochloride, Guaifenesin, Menthol and Terbutaline sulphate. Bromhexine hydrochloride works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose, making it easier to cough it out. Guaifenesin works by increasing the volume of fluid in the airways, thereby reducing the stickiness or viscosity of mucus, making it easier for airway passage. Menthol produces a cooling sensation and provides relief from minor throat irritation due to cough deposition. Terbutaline sulphate relaxes muscles and widens the airways making breathing easier in people with respiratory complications.

Take Ascoril Plus Expectorant 120 ml as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you need to take Ascoril Plus Expectorant 120 ml based on your medical condition. Some people may experience certain common side effects such as diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, headache, dizziness, skin rash, tremor, stomach upset and fast heartbeats. Most of these side effects of Ascoril Plus Expectorant 120 ml do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy, it is advised to inform your doctor before taking Ascoril Plus Expectorant 120 ml. Avoid taking Ascoril Plus Expectorant 120 ml while breastfeeding as it is excreted in breast milk and may cause adverse effects in the baby. If you are suffering from fits or have a history of fits, please inform your doctor before taking Ascoril Plus Expectorant 120 ml as it may increase the risk of recurrent fits. If you have diabetes, regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is recommended while taking Ascoril Plus Expectorant 120 ml. Ascoril Plus Expectorant 120 ml may cause dizziness, so drive with caution.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Cough: Coughing is a body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Coughs may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings up sputum (phlegm, mucus and other matter) from the lungs. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection but coughing up mucus is possibly an indication of infection in the respiratory tract. If you are coughing thick, solid white mucus, it indicates you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. If the mucus is clear or light-coloured, it indicates you may have allergies or a minor infection in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
