FARCOSOLVIN  
Syrup
Soft GeIatin Capsules (S.G. Cap.) 
MUCOLYTIC, BRONCHODILATOR AND EXPECTORANT
COMPOSITION:
Each formulation contains: 5 ml Syrup S.G. Capsule
Ambroxol HCI 15 mg 30 mg
Guaiphenesin 30 mg 100 mg
Theophyllirie anhydrous 50 mg 60 mg
PROPERTIES:
FARCOSOLVIN (Syrup or S.G. Caps.) combines ambroxol, guaiphenesin and theophylline which act synergistically to provide simultaneous mucolytic, expectorant and bronchodilator effects Ambroxol is a potent mucolytic which alters the structure of mucopolysaccharides of viscid mucus rendering it less viscous and promoting its clearance from respiratory passages. Guaiphenesin reduces adhesiveness and surface tension of respiratory secretions, and enhances the output of respiratory tract fluid
, facilitating expectoration and inducing a demulcent effect on the tracheobronchial mucosa. Theophylline , the third ingredient in FARCOSOLVIN. effectively relaxes bronchial smooth muscles, stimulates medulary respiratory center. Improves diaphragrnatic contractility and enhances mucociliary clearance in respiratory passages. The overall effect is that FARCOSOLVIN increases the efficiency of cough reflex and ciliary action in removing accumulated secretions from the trachea and bronchi. Clinically . FARCOSOLVIN provides symptomatic relief of cough associated with viscid secretions and spasm of respiratory passages, prevents the formation of mucus plugs and converts dry non-productive cough to less frequent and more productive cough. These multiple effects demonstrate the high efficiency of FARCOSOLVIN iii relieving dill erent types of cough in a wide range of respiratory diseases in children and in adults.
