Solvin M Syrup 100 ml 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) produces mucous or sputum.

Solvin M Syrup 100 ml contains Ambroxol, Guaiphenesin and Terbutaline. Ambroxol works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Guaiphenesin increases the volume of fluid in the airways, reduces the stickiness of mucus, and removes it from the airways. Terbutaline relaxes muscles and widens the airways. Thereby, it makes breathing easier. Together, Solvin M Syrup 100 ml helps provide relief from cough.

Your doctor will recommend the dose and duration based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, headache, dizziness, nervousness, and stomach upset. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Guaiphenesin belongs to the class of expectorants; it increases the volume of fluid in the airways, reduces the stickiness of mucus, and removes it from the airways.

Cough: Coughing is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Cough may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings up sputum (phlegm, mucus and other matter) from the lungs. A dry cough does not produce sputum. 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.
