Brief Answer:
The medicines must be taken like this.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Thanks for asking.

1. I give my patients 1 table spoon of Bromhexine cough syrup two times a day.
2. I tell my patients, don't take BOTH Ascoril Plus tablets, AND Bromhexine at
the same time.
3. If you like Ascoril Plus syrup, your coughing will actually increase for a
short amount of time. This syrup will clear your lungs. Keep taking it.
4. I advise my patients that if they can get Ascoril PLus Tablets (difficult to get);
"take 3 times a day with breakfast, lunch and dinner."
5. I'll ask you to take a chest X ray, and a sputum examination as a standard
test. Kindly do it.

If you have any questions or doubts, please ask.

Thanks,
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
