How it works
Mucosol Syrup is a combination of two medicines: Terbutaline and Bromhexine which relieves cough. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator which relaxes muscles in your airways and widens the airways. Bromhexine is a mucolytic which thins and loosens mucus (phlegm) making it easier to cough out. Together they make breathing easier.
