About Terbis-A Syrup

Terbis-A Syrup belongs to the class of medicines called ‘expectorants’ primarily used to treat cough associated with mucus, called chesty cough. 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.

Terbis-A Syrup is a combination of three medicines: Acebrophylline, Guaifenesin, and Terbutaline. Acebrophylline is a mucolytic agent (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 works by increasing the volume of fluid in the airways, reduces the stickiness of mucus, and helps to remove it from airways. Terbutaline belongs to the class of bronchodilators that relaxes muscles and widens the airways.

You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Terbis-A Syrup are stomach pain or discomfort, vomiting, constipation, heartburn, loss of appetite, drowsiness, dizziness, skin rash, itching, nervousness, tremors, and headache. Most of these side effects of Terbis-A Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor immediately.

Do not take Terbis-A Syrup if you are allergic to Acebrophylline, Guaifenesin, Terbutaline, or any other contents of it. Before taking Terbis-A Syrup, inform your doctor if you have diabetes, fits, hypotension (low blood pressure), overactive thyroid, hypokalemia (low potassium levels in the blood), stomach ulcers, phenylketonuria (a birth defect that causes accumulation of amino acid, phenylalanine in the body), arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms), and kidney, liver or heart problems. Also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Chesty Cough: Coughing is the body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from the 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, it indicates you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. If the mucus is clear or light-coloured, it indicates you may have allergies or minor infections in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
