Frequently asked questions
What is Brovent Syrup?
Brovent Syrup is a combination of Ambroxol and Salbutamol / Albuterol, designed to relieve cough. Ambroxol acts as a mucolytic agent, thinning and loosening mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough up. Salbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes the airway muscles, widening them for easier breathing.
Is Brovent Syrup safe to use?
Brovent Syrup is generally safe for most patients. However, some individuals may experience side effects like tremor, headache, insomnia (difficulty sleeping), palpitations, dizziness, nervousness, muscle cramps, and an increased heart rate. If you encounter any adverse reactions, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
Can Brovent Syrup cause headaches and shakiness?
Yes, some people may experience headaches and shakiness while taking Brovent Syrup. This is often due to Salbutamol's side effect profile, which can also lead to tremor. Headaches can be alleviated by staying hydrated, getting enough rest, avoiding alcohol. These symptoms generally subside within a week. If headaches persist for longer than expected, consult your doctor. Shakiness is another common side effect and usually subsides over time.
