About Exwin Cough Expectorant 100 ml

Exwin Cough Expectorant 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 means it's tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear the airways.

Exwin Cough Expectorant 100 ml is a combination of three drugs, namely Guaiphenesin (expectorant), Terbutaline sulphate (bronchodilator) and Bromhexine hydrochloride (mucolytic agent or cough thinner). Guaiphenesin works by increasing the volume of fluid in the airways, reducing the stickiness of mucus and helping to remove it from airways. Terbutaline sulphate relaxes muscles and widens the airways. Thereby, it makes breathing easier. Bromhexine hydrochloride works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Thereby, it helps to cough out easily.

Take Exwin Cough Expectorant 100 ml as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you need to take Exwin Cough Expectorant 100 ml based on your medical condition. Some people may experience nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, headache, dizziness, skin rash, tremor, stomach upset and fast heartbeats. Most of these side effects of Exwin Cough Expectorant 100 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 known to be allergic to Exwin Cough Expectorant 100 ml or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Exwin Cough Expectorant 100 ml. If you have a history of fits or are suffering from fits, please inform your doctor before taking Exwin Cough Expectorant 100 ml as it may increase the risk of recurrent fits. If you have diabetes, regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is recommended while taking Exwin Cough Expectorant 100 ml. If you have diabetes, fits, high blood pressure, overactive thyroid, stomach ulcers, phenylketonuria (a congenital disability that causes accumulation of amino acid, phenylalanine in the body), kidney, liver or heart problems, please inform your doctor before taking Exwin Cough Expectorant 100 ml.

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