About Cheston Expectorant Raspberry SF 100 ml

Cheston Expectorant Raspberry SF 100 ml belongs to the class of medicine called 'expectorant' 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, thereby preventing respiratory infection. There are two types of coughs, namely: Dry cough and Chesty cough. A dry cough may cause a tickling sensation in the back of the throat, and it doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, whereas a chesty cough means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways.

Cheston Expectorant Raspberry SF 100 ml is a combination of three drugs, namely Guaifenesin (expectorant), Chlorpheniramine (bronchodilator), and Bromhexine (mucolytic agent or cough thinner). 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 the airways. Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine (anti-allergic drug) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Bromhexine belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Thereby, it helps to cough out easily.

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 disease 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-colored, it means you may have allergies or minor illness in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
