How to Use: New Epixyl Syrup is a combination of four medicines: Ambroxol, Menthol, Salbutamol and Guaifenesin. Ambroxol is a mucolytic which thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Menthol is an organic compound which produces a sensation of coolness and relieves minor throat irritation. Salbutamol/albuterol is a bronchodilator which relax the muscles in the airways and widen the airways. Guaifenesin is an expectorant which works by decreasing the stickiness of airway secretions and helps in their removal from the airways. Together, they make breathing easier.
