Karkof AX Syrup is a combination of four medicines: Terbutaline, Ambroxol, Guaifenesin, and Flavoured Mentholated base. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles in the airways and widens airways. 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 mucus (phlegm) and helps in its removal from the airways. Flavoured Mentholated base produces a cooling sensation and relieves minor throat irritation.

Take exactly as directed by your doctor or on the label. Do not increase the dosage or take for longer than is recommended. Drink warm water to help loosen the congestion and lubricate your throat while you are taking this medication. In general, most coughs do not last more than 2 weeks. If your cough does last longer than this, it's better to see your doctor. Inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcers or asthma.
