How it works
Abtuss AX Syrup contains three active medicines. Each ingredient present in this medicine plays a pivotal role. Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that decreases the stickiness of the mucus and helps in its removal from the airways. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator that relaxes and widens the muscles in the airways.
Quick Tips
Abtuss AX Syrup may make your child feel sleepy. Advise your child to be cautious when taking part in physical activities. Do not share your child's medicines with other children, even if they show similar symptoms. Stop Abtuss AX Syrup and immediately report to the doctor if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties. Practice self-care tips: clean and disinfect surfaces after sneezing and coughing, give your child plenty of fluids, restrain your child from having caffeinated products and foods that are spicy and fried, make your child gargle with warm saltwater, and ensure your child takes enough rest.

My child has a cough with no mucus. Can I give Abtuss AX Syrup?
Abtuss AX Syrup is intended for the treatment of wet coughs. It works by expelling mucus from the airway, providing relief from throat irritation, congestion, and soothing effects. For dry coughs, cough suppressants may be more appropriate. Consult your child's doctor before administering any medication.

Overdosing or prolonged use of Abtuss AX Syrup can lead to serious side effects such as seizures, rapid heart rate, and excess salivation. Always administer the prescribed dosage, timing, and method for your child. Avoid abruptly stopping medication even when symptoms improve, as this may worsen the condition. Consult your child's doctor for guidance.
