TusQ X Plus SF Syrup is a sugar-free syrup for a wet cough with mucus. Each 5 ml contains ambroxol 15 mg, guaifenesin 50 mg, and terbutaline 1.25 mg. Ambroxol and guaifenesin thin sticky phlegm so a cough can bring it up. Terbutaline relaxes tight airway muscle so breathing feels easier. Doctors use it in coughs linked to bronchitis and similar chest congestion. It is not for a dry cough with no mucus. Shake the bottle, measure the dose, and drink extra water so the phlegm stays loose.

How Does It Work?
Ambroxol is a mucolytic. It breaks thick mucus into a thinner fluid. Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It makes that mucus less sticky so a cough can shift it. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator. It relaxes the muscle around the air tubes so they widen. The three salts clear a wet cough. They do not switch a cough off.
Directions For Use
Give only the dose your doctor sets.
Shake the bottle well before every use.
Measure with the cup or spoon in the pack, not a kitchen spoon.
It may be taken with or without food. Food helps if the stomach feels upset.
Drink extra fluids through the day.
Finish the course. Do not stop early if the doctor asked you to complete it.
If a dose is missed, take it when remembered unless the next one is close. Do not double it.
Safety Information
Not for a dry, tickly cough. It will not help if there is no mucus.
Terbutaline can cause tremor and a faster heartbeat. Tell your doctor about heart disease, high blood pressure, thyroid trouble, seizures, or diabetes.
People with diabetes should still check sugar. Sugar-free does not mean the dose can be raised.
May cause dizziness. Avoid driving until you feel steady.
Do not mix it with other cough or cold syrups unless the doctor agrees.
Tell the doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have liver or kidney problems.
Stop and seek care for a rash, face swelling, severe tremor, or trouble breathing.
Keep out of children’s reach. A child’s dose must be set by a doctor.
Store below 30°C, away from sunlight. Close the cap tightly.
Possible Side Effects
FAQs
Q1. What is TusQ X Plus SF Syrup used for?
Ans. It is for a wet cough with mucus. Ambroxol and guaifenesin thin the phlegm, and terbutaline opens the airways so breathing feels easier.
Q2. Can I use it for a dry cough?
Ans. No. This syrup is meant to bring mucus up. A dry cough with no phlegm needs a suppressant such as a dextromethorphan syrup, if your doctor agrees.
Q3. Why do my hands shake after a dose?
Ans. Terbutaline can cause a fine tremor and a quicker pulse. It often settles. Tell your doctor if the shaking is strong or the heartbeat feels uneasy.
Q4. Is the sugar-free syrup alright in diabetes?
Ans. It does not add sugar, which helps. Terbutaline can still affect blood sugar, so use only the dose your doctor sets and keep checking your readings.
Q5. Should I drink more water with it?
Ans. Yes. Extra fluids help ambroxol and guaifenesin loosen thick mucus. A dry throat makes phlegm harder to cough out.
Q6. How should TusQ X Plus SF Syrup be stored?
Ans. Keep the bottle tightly closed below 30°C, away from sunlight and moisture. Store it out of children’s reach and use it before the expiry date.
