• Cough

Epixyl LD Syrup is a combination of three medicines: Phenylephrine, Salbutamol and Bromhexine. Phenylephrine is a decongestant which narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose. Salbutamol is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens airways. Bromhexine is a mucolytic which thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out.

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Epixyl LD Syrup may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
