Mechanism of Action
Bro cordine Liquid contains three active ingredients: Terbutaline, Bromhexine, and Guaifenesin.
- Terbutaline is a bronchodilator that works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe. It helps to open up the air passages and improve airflow to the lungs.
- Bromhexine is an expectorant that helps to thin and loosen mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up. This can help relieve congestion and facilitate the removal of mucus from the lungs.
- Guaifenesin is another expectorant that works by increasing the volume and reducing the viscosity of respiratory tract secretions. This helps to promote the clearance of mucus from the airways.
By combining these three active ingredients, Bro cordine Liquid helps to alleviate symptoms associated with respiratory conditions, such as coughing, mucus production, and difficulty in breathing.
