About Broncho T D
Coughing is a natural protective mechanism to clear the tracheobronchial tree of secretions and foreign bodies. When coughing becomes excessive or bothersome, it often prompts individuals to seek treatment. Common irritants include smoke, dust, vapors, foreign bodies, and certain medications. Coughs are classified based on duration: acute (less than 3 weeks), subacute (3-8 weeks), and chronic (more than 8 weeks). Effective treatment depends on identifying and addressing the underlying cause. If the cause is unknown or specific treatment is not possible, symptomatic treatments like codeine or dextromethorphan may be considered. However, coughs with significant mucus production should not be suppressed. Studies have confirmed the efficacy of thyme in treating coughs. In a double-blind study, 60 patients with productive coughs received thyme syrup or bromhexine for 5 days, showing no significant difference in outcomes. Another study involving 119 patients with acute coughs found significant improvement with thyme and fennel drops compared to placebo. Broncho T D syrup, containing Shirazi thyme, offers a natural alternative for cough relief, with antibacterial and antiviral properties against respiratory infections.
Shirazi thyme, the main ingredient in Broncho T D, is known for its active compounds thymol and carvacrol, which enhance respiratory ciliary movement and mucus secretion, aiding in the relief of coughs associated with colds, flu, and bronchitis. Its antibacterial and antiviral properties make it effective against respiratory infections. The syrup also acts as an expectorant, clearing mucus from the respiratory tract, beneficial for coughs with mucus production.
For adults and children over 2 years, Broncho T D syrup is a safe and effective option for managing coughs. It is recommended to consult a physician for children under 2 years or if there is a history of allergies to its ingredients. The syrup should be discontinued two weeks before any surgery due to potential bleeding risks. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before use.
