Description
Trade name:
All Vent
Compound:
Each 5 ml of syrup contains:
Bromhexine hydrochloride 4 mg
Terbutaline sulfate 1.25 mg
Guaifenesin 50 mg
Menthol 2.5 mg
Properties:
Bromhexine is a mucolytic with an expectorant effect. It reduces the viscosity of bronchial secretions by depolarizing the acidic polysaccharides contained in them and stimulating the secretory cells of the bronchial mucosa that produce secretions containing neutral polysaccharides.
Terbutaline sulfate is a beta-adrenergic agonist. It stimulates predominantly 2-adrenoreceptors of the bronchi, myometrium and to a much lesser extent – 1-adrenoreceptors of the myocardium. It has a bronchodilating effect, increases mucociliary clearance, and reduces swelling of the bronchial mucosa.
Guaifenesin has expectorant properties. It reduces the surface tension and adhesive properties of sputum, which reduces its viscosity and facilitates evacuation from the respiratory tract.
Guaifenesin has an anxiolytic effect.
Menthol acts as a sedative.
