Indications / Uses
BUTAMOL PLUS Salbutamol / Guaifenesin 1mg / 50mg is used for the symptomatic relief of cough associated with bronchospasm and excessive viscous mucus. This strawberry-flavored syrup acts by relaxing the smooth muscles of the airways to facilitate easier breathing while simultaneously acting as an expectorant to thin and loosen phlegm. It is highly effective in managing respiratory conditions such as bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema where airway obstruction and productive cough are present.
