Broxyl-AP Syrup

Introduction

Broxyl-AP is a prescription medication that combines several active ingredients to provide relief from respiratory symptoms. It contains Guaifenesin, Ambroxol, Chlorpheniramine Maleate, Phenylephrine, and Menthol.

Uses

Broxyl-AP is commonly prescribed to alleviate symptoms associated with respiratory conditions such as cough, congestion, and phlegm. It helps to loosen and thin mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and clear the chest.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Broxyl-AP may vary depending on the individual and the severity of symptoms. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions or the instructions provided on the product label.

Typically, adults and children over 12 years of age can take 10 ml of the syrup three times a day. Children aged 6 to 12 years may take 5 ml three times a day. For children under 6 years of age, the dosage should be determined by a healthcare professional.

Broxyl-AP can be taken with or without food. Use the provided measuring cup to ensure accurate dosing. Shake the bottle well before each use.

Mechanism of Action

Broxyl-AP contains several active ingredients that work together to provide relief from respiratory symptoms. Guaifenesin and Ambroxol are expectorants that help to loosen and thin mucus, making it easier to expel from the airways. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antihistamine that reduces congestion and helps relieve allergy symptoms. Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant that constricts blood vessels and reduces swelling in the nasal passages. Menthol provides a cooling sensation and soothes the throat.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, upset stomach, and headache. These side effects are usually mild and temporary.

In rare cases, more serious side effects may occur. If you experience any of the following symptoms, contact your healthcare provider immediately:
