XPECT PD is a combination syrup containing Terbutaline (1.25mg) and Ambroxol Hydrochloride (15.00mg) that is used to relieve symptoms associated with respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Terbutaline is a bronchodilator that helps to relax the muscles in the airways, while Ambroxol Hydrochloride is a mucolytic agent that helps to thin and loosen mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up.
