Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Honestly speaking, in my clinical practice, I have seen patients taking this herbal medicine.

But they are not taking this herbal medicine alone.

They are also taking allopathic drugs along with this.

Some of them are very happy while some are very dissatisfied.
So better not to take this medicine alone.

You should take N acetylcysteine (NAC) along with this herbal medicine.

NAC is a pulmonary antioxidant, a mucolytic, expectorant and anti-inflammatory drug. It is very good for clearing mucus from the lungs.

Hope I have solved your query.
