Ambroxol (mucolytic): Breaks down thick mucus, making it thinner and easier to cough out.
Guaifenesin (expectorant): Increases watery secretions in the airway → makes phlegm looser and promotes effective coughing.
Salbutamol (bronchodilator): Opens the airways, reduces wheezing, and makes breathing easier.
At first, the child may still cough, sometimes even a little more, because mucus is being loosened.
Over 1–3 days, as mucus clears, the cough frequency and severity reduce naturally.
So, it doesn’t “silence” the cough like dextromethorphan. Instead, it treats the cause (mucus + airway spasm), which reduces cough in a healthier way.
Wet/productive cough (phlegm, chest congestion, wheezing).
Bronchitis, allergic bronchitis, post-infective cough with mucus.
Dry cough with no mucus → it won’t help much and may even increase throat irritation because it promotes mucus clearance.
If you give this syrup to your toddler, expect:
First 1–2 days: Cough may still be there (mucus being mobilized).
After 2–3 days: Cough usually becomes less frequent, more effective, and breathing improves.
Plenty of warm fluids and steam inhalation help the medicine work better.
👉 In short:
Yes, this syrup reduces coughing over time by clearing mucus and opening the airways — not by suppressing the cough reflex.
