TusQ-X+ Syrup 100ml

Description

TusQ-X+ Syrup is a combination medication commonly used to treat cough and related respiratory issues, such as chest congestion and difficulty in breathing. The active ingredients in TusQ-X+ Syrup work together to provide relief from both productive and dry coughs.

Composition of TusQ-X+ Syrup:

Each 5 ml of the syrup contains:

• Terbutaline Sulphate IP 1.25 mg:
  Terbutaline is a bronchodilator that helps to relax the muscles in the airways and improve airflow to the lungs. It is used to treat symptoms of bronchospasm associated with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory conditions. Terbutaline helps to relieve wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness caused by airway constriction.
• Ambroxol Hydrochloride IP 15 mg:
  Ambroxol is an expectorant and mucolytic agent. It works by breaking down the mucus in the airways, making it thinner and less sticky, which helps the body clear the mucus more easily. Ambroxol also has a cough-suppressing effect and may help reduce inflammation in the airways, making it useful for treating conditions such as productive cough, bronchitis, and chronic respiratory disorders.

Pharmacological Actions:

1. Terbutaline Sulphate:
   • It is a beta-2 agonist that primarily acts on the smooth muscles in the lungs to open up the airways, making breathing easier.
   • It is effective in managing conditions like asthma, bronchitis, COPD, and other conditions with bronchospasm.
2. Ambroxol Hydrochloride:
   • It works by breaking down viscous mucus in the airways, helping to clear it from the respiratory tract.
   • It promotes the secretion of surfactants, substances that help maintain the stability of the lungs and prevent inflammation. This makes it useful for treating wet coughs and conditions like bronchial congestion.

Indications:

TusQ-X+ Syrup is typically used to treat:

• Cough (both dry and productive)
• Bronchospasm (narrowing of the airways)
• Chest congestion and excess mucus production
• Respiratory conditions like asthma, COPD, and bronchitis

Precautions:

• Allergy:
  Avoid using TusQ-X+ Syrup if you are allergic to terbutaline, ambroxol, or any other ingredients in the syrup.

  • Breastfeeding: Both terbutaline and ambroxol can pass into breast milk. Consult a healthcare provider if you are breastfeeding.

  This syrup may cause dizziness or drowsiness. If you experience these symptoms, avoid driving or operating machinery.

Drug Interactions:

TusQ-X+ Syrup may interact with other medications, especially:

• Beta-blockers (used for high blood pressure or heart conditions): They may reduce the effectiveness of terbutaline.
• Other bronchodilators or stimulants: Combining with other medications that relax the airways or stimulate the central nervous system could increase the risk of side effects like rapid heartbeat, tremors, or increased blood pressure.
• MAO inhibitors: Taking TusQ-X+ Syrup with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (used for depression) can increase the risk of serious side effects, including heart problems.

Always inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking.

  Store the syrup at room temperature (15°C to 25°C / 59°F to 77°F).
• Keep the bottle tightly closed and store away from direct sunlight and moisture.
