About S-Mucolite Syrup
S-Mucolite Syrup is a combination medication used to treat productive cough associated with bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), bronchitis (inflammation of bronchial tubes), and emphysema (shortness of breath). Coughing (dry or productive) is a body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection.
S-Mucolite Syrup consists of Ambroxol hydrochloride, Terbutaline sulphate, Guaiphenesin, and Menthol. Ambroxol hydrochloride is a mucolytic agent that makes sputum less viscous, making it easier to cough out. Terbutaline sulphate is a bronchodilator that works by widening and relaxing the airways of the lungs. Guaiphenesin is an expectorant which reduces the thickness/viscosity of bronchial secretions (phlegm) and increases mucus flow making it easier to cough. Menthol relieves throat irritation.
Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of the course based on the severity of your condition. In some cases, S-Mucolite Syrup may cause common side effects like nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, sweating, muscle cramps, dizziness, and headache. These side effects do not require medical attention and resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to S-Mucolite Syrup or any other medication. Inform your doctor if you have heart, liver, kidney diseases, stomach ulcers, seizures (fits), high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, diabetes, inflammation of air passages, lung disorders, and difficulty breathing before taking S-Mucolite Syrup . Check with your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid alcohol while taking S-Mucolite Syrup , since it can worsen side effects like dizziness and sleepiness.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Cough:Â Coughing is the body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Coughs may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings up sputum (phlegm, mucus and other matter) from the lungs. A dry cough does not produce sputum/phlegm. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection but coughing up mucus is possibly an indication of infection in the respiratory tract. If you are coughing thick, solid white mucus, you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. If the mucus is clear or light-coloured, you may have allergies or minor infections in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
