Ventilex Syrup is a combination cough syrup for a wet, chesty cough. Each 5 ml contains terbutaline 1.25 mg, bromhexine 2 mg, guaifenesin 50 mg, and menthol 0.5 mg. Terbutaline opens tight airways. Bromhexine and guaifenesin thin sticky mucus so it is easier to cough out. Menthol gives a cool feel in the throat. It is used for cough with mucus linked to bronchitis and similar chest conditions. It is not for a dry cough with no phlegm. Shake the bottle and measure the dose your doctor sets.

How Does It Work?
Terbutaline is a bronchodilator. It relaxes the muscle around the air tubes so they widen. Bromhexine is a mucolytic that breaks thick mucus into a thinner fluid. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that makes that mucus less sticky so a cough can clear it. Menthol cools the throat and eases the scratchy feel.
Directions For Use

Shake the bottle well before each use.
Measure with the given cup or spoon, not a kitchen spoon.
It may be taken with or without food.
Drink extra water throughout the day, so mucus stays loose.

Possible Side Effects
FAQs
Q1. What is Ventilex Syrup used for?
Ans. It is used for a wet cough with mucus. It opens the airways, thins phlegm, and makes it easier to cough the mucus out.
Q2. Can I use it for a dry cough
Ans. No. This syrup is for a cough that brings up phlegm. A dry, tickly cough needs a different medicine. Ask your doctor which one fits.
Q3. Why do my hands feel shaky?
Ans. Terbutaline can cause a fine tremor or a faster pulse. It often settles. Tell your doctor if the shaking is strong or the heartbeat feels uncomfortable.
Q4. Should I drink more water with it?
Ans. Yes. Extra fluids help guaifenesin and bromhexine loosen mucus. A dry throat makes thick phlegm harder to clear.
Q5. Is Ventilex Syrup the same as Ventilex A or Ventilex LS?
Ans. No. Plain Ventilex has terbutaline, bromhexine, guaifenesin, and menthol. Ventilex A and Ventilex LS use different salts. Do not swap them on your own.
Q6. How should Ventilex 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 expiry.
