It helps relieve symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, breathing difficulties and coughing caused by bronchospasm (contraction of airways), bronchial asthma (airway path of the lungs to swell and narrow), chronic bronchitis (long-term inflammation of the bronchi), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD- A group of lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe), etc. Use Tussalyte-XP Drops only if advised by your physician.

Uses of Tussalyte-XP Drops
What is it prescribed for?
Productive cough
A cough is a sudden response of the body when something irritates the throat or airways. Irritants such as smoke and gas, tobacco use, foreign particles or infection can stimulate nerves that send a message to the brain. Cough can be of 2 types- dry cough (absence of mucus) and productive cough (presence of mucus). Mucus is the thick sticky fluid that gets accumulated in the throat and causes difficulties in breathing with irritation. Tussalyte-XP Drops helps in expelling the mucous out when you cough up.
Bronchospasm
Bronchospasm is the spasm (contraction) of bronchial muscles resulting in narrowing of the bronchi. Due to this, there may be decreased airflow into the lungs. Tussalyte-XP Drops may be sometimes used to relieve the symptoms of bronchospasm such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, breathing difficulties, coughing, etc. in bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, etc. In children aged 6 months to 2 years this medicine used to treat the conditions such as bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs), etc.
