Flemnil Syrup 120 ml is a respiratory medication used to treat a cough with mucus, stuffy nose, sinus congestion, and chest congestion caused by the common cold. Coughing occurs as a reflex action in the throat when there is mucus or any other foreign irritant in it. The common cold is a respiratory illness that affects nose and throat and is caused by viruses known as 'rhinoviruses'. The virus enters the body through nose, mouth or eyes and spreads easily through air droplets when a sick person sneezes, coughs or talks. 

Flemnil Syrup 120 ml consists of Guaifenesin (expectorant), Bromhexine (mucolytic agent), and Phenylephrine (decongestant). Guaifenesin is an expectorant that reduces the thickness or viscosity of bronchial secretions (phlegm) and increases mucus flow making it easier to cough. Bromhexine is a mucolytic agent that causes thinning of the mucus in the airways and makes it easier to cough out. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that works by contracting and narrowing the blood vessels. Thus, Flemnil Syrup 120 ml helps relieve cough with mucus due to respiratory infection, allergy, common cold, asthma and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) conditions. 

Take Flemnil Syrup 120 ml regularly at a fixed time. Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of the course based on the severity of your congestion. Like every other medication, Flemnil Syrup 120 ml also has common side effects like nausea, indigestion, loss of appetite, bloating, diarrhoea, vomiting, stomach pain, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, sweating, skin rash, itching, and insomnia.

Flemnil Syrup 120 ml treats cough with mucus, chest congestion and common cold symptoms. It consists of three medicines: Guaifenesin, Bromhexine, and Phenylephrine. Guaifenesin is an 'expectorant' works by reducing bronchial secretions' thickness or viscosity (phlegm). It loosens congestion in your chest and throat, making it easier to cough out through the mouth. Bromhexine is a 'mucolytic agent' that relieves productive cough. It works by thinning the mucus in the airways and makes it easier to cough out. Phenylephrine is a ‘decongestant’ that works by contracting and narrowing the blood vessels. Thus, Flemnil Syrup 120 ml helps relieve cough symptoms in respiratory infection, asthma, COPD, common cold, and allergies.

Coughing: It occurs as a reflex action in the throat when there is mucus or any other foreign irritant in it. It is a body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs, namely: Dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) produces mucous or sputum that helps clear the airways. The common cold is a respiratory illness that affects nose and throat and is caused by viruses known as 'rhinoviruses'. The virus enters the body through nose, mouth or eyes and spreads easily through air droplets when a sick person sneezes, coughs or talks.
