The syrup should be taken orally as directed by your doctor. Make sure to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications before starting this medication. Any side effects experienced while on this medication should be promptly reported to your doctor. For optimal results, continue using the syrup for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Managing bronchitis
Managing bronchial asthma, a condition in which a person's airways become inflamed, and produce extra mucus
Managing emphysema, a condition that causes damage and enlargement of air sacs in the lungs

Side Effects of Ventryl Expectorant 100ml

Ventryl Expectorant may lead to the following side effects:

Nausea and vomiting
Diarrhoea
Dizziness
Headache
Skin rash and itching
Indigestion and bloating

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Ventryl Expectorant. However, if you experience any serious side effects, please consult your doctor. Here are a couple of ways to manage common side effects:

Nausea and vomiting: Try taking Ventryl Expectorant with meals to help lessen stomach discomfort.
Diarrhoea: Consider taking this medicine at bedtime to manage its effects better.
Skin rash and itching: Try applying a cold compress to the rash sites to manage this side effect.

Ventryl Expectorant comprises three active ingredients:

Ambroxol (30 mg): This ingredient helps break down thick mucus so it can be easily coughed out. It does this by changing the structure of the mucus, making it thinner and less sticky.
Guaifenesin (100 mg): Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It helps loosen and thin mucus by increasing the amount of liquid in your airways and making the mucus less sticky. This makes it easier to cough up the mucus.
Terbutaline (2.5 mg): Terbutaline is a bronchodilator. It helps relax the muscles in your airways, making them wider and allowing you to breathe more easily. It also reduces the release of substances that can cause inflammation in your airways.

Breastfeeding

When breastfeeding, the use of Ventryl Expectorant needs to be approached with caution. Consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Ventryl Expectorant interacts with the following medicines:

Beta-blockers: Beta blockers are a category of antihypertensive medicines. This syrup may decrease the effectiveness of beta-blockers such as propranolol and metoprolol. It can interfere with their function, reducing the bronchodilatory (airway relaxing) effects of this medication.
Diuretics: Terbutaline in this medicine may increase the risk of side effects like sudden lowering of blood pressure when used alongside diuretics like furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide.
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs): The terbutaline component should not be used in combination with MAOIs like selegiline and phenelzine due to the risk of elevated blood pressure levels.

Drug-Food Interactions

Caffeine: Drinking too much caffeine can increase the side effects of terbutaline, one of the active ingredients in this syrup.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Ventryl Expectorant interacts with the following diseases:

Liver disease: People with liver disease may need a lower dosage or special monitoring during treatment.
Kidney disease: Kidney problems could cause this medicine to build up in your body, leading to side effects.
Cardiovascular disease: Terbutaline can cause an increase in heart rate and blood pressure. People with heart disease should use this syrup with caution.
Diabetes: Terbutaline might affect blood sugar levels. This medicine is also sugar-based and needs to be used with caution if you have diabetes.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Ventryl Expectorant should be taken as directed by your doctor. Your dosage is based on your response to treatment and the severity of your condition. Never change your prescribed dosage without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

If you accidentally take more Ventryl Expectorant than your prescribed dosage, you may experience symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, or increased heart rate. If these symptoms persist, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

In case you forget to take a dose of Ventryl Expectorant, take it as soon as you remember. If it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Don't increase the dosage without consulting your doctor.
