About Agt-Plus Syrup

Agt-Plus Syrup belongs to the class of medicines called ‘expectorants’ primarily used to treat cough associated with mucus. Coughing (dry or productive) is a body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs, namely: Dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways.

Agt-Plus Syrup is a combination of three drugs, namely: Ambroxol (mucolytic agent), Guaifenesin (expectorant), and Terbutaline (bronchodilator). Ambroxol belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that work by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that increase the volume of fluid in the airways, reduce the stickiness of mucus, and remove it from the airways. Terbutaline belongs to the class of bronchodilators that relaxes muscles and widens the airways. Thereby, it makes breathing easier.

Take Agt-Plus Syrup as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you take Agt-Plus Syrup based on your medical condition. Some people may experience nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, headache, dizziness, skin rash, nervousness, tremor, stomach upset, and fast heartbeats. Most of these side effects of Agt-Plus Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Agt-Plus Syrup or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Agt-Plus Syrup. Use Agt-Plus Syrup with caution in children if prescribed by a doctor. If you are suffering from fits or have a history of fits, please inform your doctor before taking Agt-Plus Syrup as it may increase the risk of recurrent fits. If you have diabetes, regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is recommended while taking Agt-Plus Syrup. If you have diabetes, fits, high blood pressure, overactive thyroid, stomach ulcers, phenylketonuria (a congenital disability that causes accumulation of amino acid, phenylalanine in the body), kidney, liver, or heart problems, inform your doctor before taking Agt-Plus Syrup.
