TEXCOL E SYP 60ML

Guaifenesin 50mg in the syrup/suspension acts as an expectorant by increasing the volume and reducing the viscosity of respiratory tract secretions, making it easier to cough up and clear mucus. Salbutamol Sulphate, at a concentration of 1mg, is a bronchodilator that stimulates beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the lungs, leading to relaxation of the smooth muscles surrounding the airways. This action results in bronchodilation, which increases airflow and improves breathing by opening constricted airways.
