COFSTOP A is a combination syrup that contains Terbutaline, Menthol, Guaiphenesin, and Ambroxol Hydrochloride. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator that helps in relieving breathing difficulties by relaxing the muscles of the airways. Menthol provides a soothing effect and helps in relieving cough and throat irritation. Guaiphenesin is an expectorant that helps in loosening and reducing the thickness of mucus, making it easier to cough up.
