Expectorant Syrup Price in Bangladesh

An expectorant or mucolytic helps with a wet, chesty cough — the kind that brings up phlegm. It thins the mucus so coughing clears it more easily. It is not meant to stop a cough; for a chesty cough, coughing is how the chest clears itself.

Cough Expectorants & Mucolytics sits under Cough & Cold.

Wet Cough or Dry Cough

Cough	What it feels like	Medicine type
Wet or chesty	Rattly, brings up phlegm	Expectorant or mucolytic (this page)
Dry or tickly	No phlegm, irritating	Suppressant, if a doctor advises

Dry-cough medicines are on Cough Suppressant. Taking a suppressant for a chesty cough can keep phlegm in the chest.

What Is on This Shelf

Most products here contain ambroxol or bromhexine, mucolytics that loosen thick mucus, as syrups, tablets, sustained-release capsules and paediatric drops. Brands with the same active ingredient and strength are the same medicine under different names; the strength and form are printed on each listing.

Children and Cough Syrups

Do not give cough medicines to babies and young children without a doctor’s advice. Paediatric drops and syrups exist, but the dose depends on age and weight, and must be measured with the dropper or cup supplied, never a kitchen spoon. For children over one year, warm fluids and a little honey can soothe a cough; honey must not be given to babies under one.

Simple Things That Help

• Drink plenty of fluids — water, warm soups and tea keep mucus thinner.
• Steam — breathing in steam from a hot shower eases a tight chest; take care with bowls of boiling water around children.
• Rest and avoid smoke — cigarette smoke and mosquito-coil smoke irritate the airways.
• Raise your head at night — an extra pillow reduces night-time coughing.

When a Cough Needs a Doctor

See a doctor if a cough lasts more than three weeks, if you cough up blood, or if there is breathlessness, chest pain, wheezing, a high fever for more than a few days, night sweats or weight loss. A long-lasting cough in Bangladesh should be checked for tuberculosis, which is treatable and free at government centres. In children, fast or difficult breathing, drawing in of the chest, or poor feeding need urgent care.

Taking Cough Syrup Safely

Follow the dose on the pack or your prescription and measure it properly. Check whether another medicine you take, such as a combined cold remedy, already contains the same active ingredient, so you do not double up. People with stomach ulcers, liver or kidney problems, and pregnant or breastfeeding women should ask a doctor or pharmacist first. Sugar-free syrups are available for people with diabetes.

Combined Syrups Are Different

Many cough syrups combine an expectorant with an antihistamine or decongestant, which can cause drowsiness. Read the full composition on the listing. Combinations are on Combined Cough Expectorants.
