Introduction
Amter Syrup is a medication used to treat wet cough in children. It contains three active ingredients: Ambroxol, Guaifenesin, and Terbutaline. Each ingredient plays a crucial role in thinning and loosening mucus, decreasing its stickiness, and relaxing airway muscles. The medication is available in syrup form and should be taken orally, with or without food, as directed by a doctor.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Amter Syrup may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
How it works
Amter 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
Amter 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 Amter 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.

Frequently asked questions
What should I do if my child has a cough with no mucus?
If your child is experiencing a dry cough, it's best to consult their doctor for guidance on the most suitable treatment. Amter Syrup is typically recommended for wet coughs, as it helps expel mucus and provides soothing relief. However, for dry coughs, cough suppressants may be a more effective option.
What are the potential risks of giving my child too much Amter Syrup?
Overdosing on Amter Syrup can lead to serious side effects such as seizures, rapid heart rate, and excessive salivation. It's essential to administer this medicine according to the prescribed dosage, frequency, and method. Additionally, sudden withdrawal from Amter Syrup may worsen your child's condition.
Can I give my child two cough medicines at once?
Unless advised by a doctor, it's not recommended to administer more than one cough or cold medicine to your child at the same time. In case of confusion, always consult with your child's doctor before giving any medications.
Should I give my child adult cough medicines?
Never provide your child with medications intended for adults. Instead, only administer medications specifically formulated for children. Failure to do so may result in unwanted side effects. Always check the label of the medicine before giving it to your child and follow the prescribed dosage strictly.
How should Amter Syrup be stored?
Amter Syrup should be kept at room temperature, away from direct heat and light. It's also crucial to store all medications out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental intake.
