DR KOFF NIGHT SYP 120ML

The synergistic combination of Adhatoda vasica, Terminalia bellerica, Solanum xanthocarpum, Glycerrhiza glabra, and Ocimum Sanctum in the syrup/suspension formulation offers a comprehensive approach to respiratory health. Adhatoda vasica acts as a bronchodilator and expectorant, attributed to the presence of vasicine, which relaxes bronchial smooth muscles. Terminalia bellerica extract possesses anti-inflammatory properties, likely due to its ability to modulate pro-inflammatory mediators. Solanum xanthocarpum aids in relieving respiratory congestion by exerting expectorant and bronchodilatory effects. Glycerrhiza glabra's demulcent properties soothe irritated mucous membranes, while Ocimum Sanctum contributes to the formulation's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, promoting respiratory well-being.
