How it Works

Ascoxol-P Drops is a combination of four medicines: Guaifenesin, Ambroxol, Terbutaline, and Sorbitol. Guaifenesin is an expectorant which decreases the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) and helps in its removal from the airways. Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator that relaxes and widens the muscles in the airways. Sorbitol is an artificial sweetener.
