Is Bricarex Right Medication For Cough, Cold And Chest Congestion?

Hi Doctor,

I have got cold and cough and my doctor prescribed Bricarex syrup and now I have got stuffy nose and chest congestion. Shall I take Bricarex continuously until my cold problem resolved or any other medicine I have to take?

Please give your suggestions.

Regards,
Raja

Hello
You are having cough, cold and congestion and now stuffy nose and taking BRICAREX syrup i.e . terbutalin , guaiphenesin .
Yes , in simple words to say as this causes bronchodilation and provide relief in cold , congestion , stuffy nose, cough provided if you are not having infection.
If infection present then you should take some antibiotics . I prescribe my levofloxacin 750 mg / day for 3-5 days ( one in day ).
Within 3-5 day , you will be symptom free.
Hope this will help you.
Good luck.
