Bronkaid

Bayer Schering Pharma AG | Bronkaid (Medication)


Desc:

Bronkaid provides temporary relief of bronchial congestion and mild intermittent asthma symptoms such as wheezing, tightness of chest, and shortness of breath. Bronkaid helps loosen phlegm (mucus) and thin bronchial secretions to rid the bronchial passageways of bothersome mucus, drain bronchial tubes and make coughs more productive.

Asthma is a lung disease characterized by reversible constriction and inflammation of the airways, and increased airway responsiveness to a variety of stimuli.

Bronchodilators, like ephedrine, act on specific receptors, resulting in the relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle. Guaifenesin is believed to cause a reflex stimulation of bronchial glands, resulting in a decrease in the thickness of bronchial secretions. ...
