Brodil Syrup contains Salbutamol 2 mg per 5 ml, a widely used bronchodilator that helps relieve symptoms of respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Salbutamol is a short-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist (SABA) that relaxes the smooth muscles of the airways, improving airflow and providing rapid relief from wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness. The syrup formulation is particularly suitable for children and adults who prefer liquid medication for easier administration.

Composition

Active Ingredient: Salbutamol

Mechanism of Action
Salbutamol acts as a short-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist, binding to beta-2 receptors in the bronchial smooth muscle. This activates adenylate cyclase, increasing cyclic AMP levels, which relaxes airway muscles and leads to bronchodilation. The result is rapid improvement in airflow and relief from respiratory distress.
