About Onimex SF 30mg/200mg Syrup Sugar Free

Onimex SF 30mg/200mg Syrup Sugar Free belongs to the class of medicines called ‘expectorants’ 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 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 vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways.

Onimex SF 30mg/200mg Syrup Sugar Free is a combination of two drugs: Ambroxol (mucolytic agent) and Guaifenesin (expectorant). Ambroxol belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that increase the volume of fluid in the airways, reduce mucus stickiness, and remove it from airways.

Take Onimex SF 30mg/200mg Syrup Sugar Free with or without food as advised by your doctor with the help of a measuring cup. Your doctor will recommend how often you take Onimex SF 30mg/200mg Syrup Sugar Free based on your medical condition.

Most of these side effects of Onimex SF 30mg/200mg Syrup Sugar Free do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Medicinal Benefits

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, you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. If the mucus is clear or light-colored, you may have allergies or a minor infection in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
