Bron-Tuss

• Bron-Tuss is a combination medication designed to provide temporary relief from symptoms associated with the common cold, flu, allergies, and other upper respiratory conditions. It is particularly effective in addressing cough, chest congestion, and nasal congestion. The active ingredients in Bron-Tuss include:

1. Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (20 mg per 5 mL): An antitussive agent that suppresses the cough reflex by acting on the brain’s cough center.
2. Guaifenesin (200 mg per 5 mL): An expectorant that helps thin and loosen mucus in the airways, making it easier to expel.
3. Phenylephrine Hydrochloride (10 mg per 5 mL): A decongestant that reduces swelling in the nasal passages, alleviating stuffy nose symptoms.
