Bronkaid Uses

  • for temporary relief of mild symptoms of intermittent asthma:
    • wheezing
    • tightness of chest
    • shortness of breath
  • helps loosen phlegm (mucus) and thin bronchial secretions to rid the bronchial passageways of bothersome mucus, drain bronchial tubes and make coughs more productive
