Product Information

Full details

Bell's Mentholated Bronchial Balsam is an expectorant medication designed for adults and children aged six and above to provide relief from coughs, sore throats, and chest congestion. Its key benefit is its rapid action in clearing sinuses and loosening mucus for easier breathing.

This 200ml balsam offers a therapeutic blend of menthol, aniseed oil, and capsicum tincture to soothe respiratory discomfort.

FAQs

How do I use Bell's Mentholated Bronchial Balsam?

You can use it in two ways: as a topical rub applied to the chest and back, or by adding a few drops to hot water (not boiling) for steam inhalation. Follow the instructions on the packaging for specific amounts.

What are the main active ingredients?

The main active ingredients include menthol, aniseed oil, and capsicum tincture, which work together to relieve coughs, sore throats, and chest congestion.

Can this product be used by children?

Yes, it is suitable for children aged six years and above. It is not recommended for children under six.

Is the balsam greasy?

No, the formula has a non-greasy texture that ensures quick absorption into the skin without leaving a sticky residue.

What is the size of the bottle?

The bottle contains 200ml of the Mentholated Bronchial Balsam.

Can I use this if I have a sensitive nose?

The product contains menthol, which has a strong aroma. If you have a very sensitive nose or are sensitive to menthol, it's advisable to use it with caution, perhaps starting with a smaller amount or avoiding the inhalation method.

How should I store the product?

Store Bell's Mentholated Bronchial Balsam in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ensure the cap is tightly closed.

Troubleshooting

No noticeable relief after application

Ensure a sufficient amount is applied according to instructions and that it is rubbed into the skin effectively. For inhalation, ensure proper vapor generation. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional.

Skin irritation after topical application

Discontinue use immediately if skin irritation occurs. Wash the affected area with mild soap and water. Avoid using on broken or damaged skin. Test on a small area first if you have sensitive skin.

Difficulty breathing the vapors during inhalation

Use fewer drops in the hot water, or increase the distance from the bowl. Ensure the water is hot but not boiling to create gentler vapors. Do not cover your head with a towel if you feel uncomfortable.
