BUS Q TABLET

BUS Q TABLET 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. 

BUS Q TABLET is a combination of two drugs, namely: Guaifenesin (expectorant) and Bromhexine (mucolytic agent). Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that works by loosening the congestion in the chest and throat, making it easier to cough out through the mouth. On the other hand, Bromhexine belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in lungs, windpipe, and nasal passage thereby, helping to cough out easily. 

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

BUS Q TABLET should be used with caution in children below 6 years. Drink plenty of fluids while taking BUS Q TABLET to loosen mucus.
