How it works
Ambroxol works by promoting mucus clearance and easing a productive cough. Guaifenesin reduces the thickness of mucus in the air passages; this makes it easier to cough up the mucus and clear the airways. Salbutamol improves the amount of airflow to the lungs and makes breathing easier. Menthol causes a feeling of coolness and also reduces itching and pain.
