Both All-vent and Oplex-N are used to relieve the symptoms of coughs accompanied by phlegm, but they differ significantly in the active ingredients they contain, resulting in differences in their mechanism of action and specific uses. Understanding these differences helps determine the most appropriate medication for cough relief.
All-vent Syrup Ingredients
All-vent Syrup contains a combination of four active ingredients that work together to relieve coughs accompanied by phlegm:
Bromhexine Hydrochloride: Acts as a mucolytic, helping to thin thick mucus and facilitate its expulsion.
Terbutaline Sulfate: A bronchodilator, helping to open the airways in the lungs, making breathing easier and reducing coughing.
Guaifenesin: An expectorant, it helps thin mucus and facilitate its expulsion from the airways. Menthol: Provides a soothing and refreshing effect on the throat and airways, and may help relieve congestion.
Oplex-N Syrup Ingredients
Oplex-N Syrup contains a combination of active ingredients:
Benzoic Acid: Used as a preservative in the syrup. It has no direct effect on cough relief.
Guaifenesin: An expectorant, as found in All-vent, that helps thin mucus and facilitate its expulsion.
Oxomemazine: An antihistamine and cough suppressant with a soothing effect. It helps reduce allergic and dry coughs and may cause drowsiness.
Paracetamol: A pain reliever and antipyretic. It may help relieve symptoms associated with colds and coughs, such as fever and body aches.
