About TUSPEL LIQUID 100ML

TUSPEL LIQUID 100ML belongs to a class of respiratory medications called 'expectorant' primarily used to treat cough. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from the airways. There are two types of coughs, namely: Dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) produces mucous or sputum that helps clear the airways.

TUSPEL LIQUID 100ML consists of four medicines, namely: Bromohexine (mucolytic), Terbutaline (bronchodilator), Ammonium chloride (irritant/expectorant) and Menthol (cooling agent). Bromhexine makes sputum less viscous and makes it easier to cough out. Terbutaline works by dilating (expanding) and relaxing the air passages in the lungs, making breathing easier, especially in people with airway problems or respiratory obstructive disorders. Ammonium chloride is an expectorant that decreases the stickiness of mucous and helps remove it from the airways. Menthol is an organic compound that produces a cooling sensation and relieves throat irritation.

TUSPEL LIQUID 100ML is available in oral syrup and suspension. The most common side effects of TUSPEL LIQUID 100ML are nausea, diarrhoea, bloating, indigestion, vomiting, stomach upset, sweating, dizziness, headache and skin rash. Most of these side effects of TUSPEL LIQUID 100ML do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to TUSPEL LIQUID 100ML or any other medication. Brief your medical history to the doctor if you have any heart, liver, kidney, lung diseases, depression and Parkinson's disease before taking TUSPEL LIQUID 100ML. TUSPEL LIQUID 100ML can cause sleepiness; hence avoid taking alcohol while using TUSPEL LIQUID 100ML. TUSPEL LIQUID 100ML may affect your ability to drive. It is advised not to drive whilst taking this medicine. Check with your doctor if you are pregnant, currently breastfeeding or taking any other prescribed or non-prescribed drugs.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Cough: It occurs as a reflex action in the throat when there is mucus or any other foreign irritant in it. Cough can be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) develops sputum (phlegm or mucus) 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 out thick, solid white mucus, it indicates that you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. Clear or light-coloured mucus indicates allergies or minor infections in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
