How it works
Zencough 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
Zencough 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 Zencough 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 Zencough Syrup?
Zencough Syrup is intended for use in cases of wet cough and is not suitable for dry coughs. It aims to loosen phlegm, relieve throat irritation, reduce congestion, and provide soothing effects. For dry coughs, it's recommended to use cough suppressants instead. Consult your child’s doctor before administering any medication.

Taking excessive doses of Zencough Syrup can lead to serious side effects like seizures, rapid heart rate, and excess salivation. Always administer the prescribed dose, time, and method of Zencough Syrup for your child. Avoid abruptly stopping medication even when your child starts feeling better as sudden withdrawal may worsen their condition.
My child has a severe cough. Can I give him two cough medicines together?
It is not advisable to administer multiple cough or cold medications to your child at the same time unless advised by a doctor. Consult with your child’s doctor for clarification before administering any medication to your child.
Can I give my cough medicine to my child?
