How Mucodex Products work
Terbutaline + Bromhexine + Guaifenesin is a combination of three medicines: Terbutaline + Bromhexine + Guaifenesin1, Terbutaline + Bromhexine + Guaifenesin2 and Terbutaline + Bromhexine + Guaifenesin3 which relieve cough with mucus. Terbutaline + Bromhexine + Guaifenesin1 is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens airways. Terbutaline + Bromhexine + Guaifenesin2 is a mucolytic which thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Terbutaline + Bromhexine + Guaifenesin3 is an expectorant which decreases the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) and helps in its removal from the airways.
