How it Works
Epixyl 5 mg/4 mg/8 mg Syrup is a combination of three medicines: Phenylephrine, Salbutamol and Bromhexine. Phenylephrine is a decongestant which narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose. Salbutamol is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens airways. Bromhexine is a mucolytic which thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out.
