Brief Answer:
Both are bronchodilators.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX, Hi
Good evening.
Ascoril (Terbutaline) is a bronchodilator (opens the airways and causes easy breating). Used in the treatment of allergic bronchitis, asthma, and other airway diseases associated with wheezing.
Ascoril Plus- In addition to Terbutaline it contains Bromohexine a mucolytic expectorant (helps in evacuation of thick sputum from the airways).
So, it is helpful if the wheezing is associated with sputum.

Hope this answers your query.
