Benefits of XL 80 Expectorant

In Treatment of Cough

A cough is a sudden, forceful expulsion of air that helps clear any mucus or irritant in the throat or airways. If it happens more frequently, due to an underlying disease or an allergy, it can be bothersome. XL 80 Expectorant helps to loosen thick mucus, making it easier to cough out. This makes it easier for air to move in and out.

This medicine is safe and effective. It usually starts to work within a few minutes and the effects can last up to several hours. Take it as prescribed by the doctor.
