How Gat XP Syrup works
Gat XP Syrup contains three active medicines. Each ingredient present in this medicine plays a pivotal role. Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that decreases the stickiness of the mucus and helps in its removal from the airways. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator that relaxes and widens the muscles in the airways.
Quick tips
- Gat XP Syrup may make your child feel sleepy. Advise your child to be cautious when taking part in physical activities.
- Do not share your child’s medicines with other children, even if they show similar symptoms. Each child is different, and the dose and frequency of medicine depend upon factors like body weight, age, and clinical condition.
- Stop Gat XP Syrup and immediately report to the doctor if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties.
- Practice self-care tips:
- Clean and disinfect surfaces after sneezing and coughing to avoid allergies.
- Give your child plenty of fluids as it helps to thin and loosen the mucus accumulated in the lungs.
- Restrain your child from having caffeinated products and foods that are spicy and fried. All these can trigger coughing.
- Make your child gargle with warm saltwater.
