Mucaryl AX Expectorant 100 ml

Mucaryl AX Expectorant belongs to the class of medicines called 'expectorants' primarily used to treat cough associated with mucus. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs: Dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear the airways.

Mucaryl AX Expectorant is a combination of four drugs, namely: Terbutaline Sulphate (bronchodilator), Guaifenesin (expectorant), Ambroxol Hydrochloride (mucolytic agent) and Ammonium chloride (irritant/expectorant). Terbutaline Sulphate relaxes muscles and widens the airways. Guaifenesin and Ambroxol Hydrochloride work by thinning the mucus in the air passages; this makes it easier to cough up the mucus and clear the airways. Ammonium chloride decreases airway secretion's stickiness and helps remove it from the airways. Thereby it makes breathing easier.

Take Mucaryl AX Expectorant with or without food as advised by your doctor. Your doctor will advise you on how frequently you should take Mucaryl AX Expectorant based on your medical condition. Like all medicines, Mucaryl AX Expectorant may induce common side effects, including nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, headache, dizziness, and rapid heartbeats. Most of these side effects do not necessitate medical treatment and fade away with time. Please visit your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Cough: Coughing is the body's method of removing irritants (such as allergies, mucus, or smoke) from the airways and preventing illness. Cough can be productive or dry. A productive cough (wet cough) causes sputum (phlegm, mucus, and other debris) to be expelled from the lungs. A dry cough does not produce phlegm. Coughing is often caused by an allergic reaction or a viral infection, but coughing up mucus may indicate a respiratory infection. You may have a bacterial infection in your airways if you cough up thick, solid white mucus. If your mucus is clear or light-coloured, you may have allergies or a respiratory infection, whereas yellow or green mucus signals a respiratory infection.
