Flo - Chewable Tablets Syrup
Therapeutic Category : Bronchodilatory Mucolytic Expectorant
Actions
The multiple herbs in FLO collectively act to control and restore the inflamed congested muco-respiratory environment. The major actions include:
  • Potent mucolytic and expectorant activity due to vasicinine from Adulsa, saponins from Bharangi and volatile oils from Menthol and Camphor
  • Soothing demulcent activity due to asarones from Vacha and saponins from Bharangi.
  • Mild bronchodilatory activity due to presence of alantoids from Pushkarmool and alkaloids from Aantmool.
  • Bronchial mast cells stabilising action preventing release of the inflammatory mediators onto the respiratory surface due to quercitin from Jungli pyaz, saponins from Shirish and alkaloids from Aantmool.
  • Inducing increased secretion of the endogenous corticosteroids thereby controlling the bronchial inflammatory chain reaction. This action is due to a direct effect of alkaloids from Aantmool on the adrenal cortex and is responsible for the prolonged beneficial effects seen in asthmatics
Indications
  • Cough of varied etiologies
  • Bronchial asthma (Tamaka svasa)
  • Bronchial congestion
  • Emphysema (Svasa)
  • Laryngitis (Galaugha)
  • Sinusitis (Pinasa)
  • Sore throat (Kantha roga)
