Indications & Clinical Uses

Numark Mentholated Bronchial Balsam acts on the respiratory tract to alleviate irritation and cough.

  • Cough: reduces the urge to cough and eases throat discomfort.
  • Bronchial irritation: soothes inflamed bronchial mucosa and lessens irritation.
  • Congestion: promotes mild decongestion of the upper airway, improving breathing comfort.

How It Works

  • Levomenthol activates TRPM8 receptors producing a cooling, mild anesthetic effect, while aniseed oil provides gentle expectorant action by stimulating mucosal secretions. Capsicum tincture activates TRPV1 receptors, creating a warming sensation that increases local blood flow and mucosal stimulation. The combined actions lessen sensory irritation and help suppress cough reflexes.

Side Effects

Side effects are generally mild but may occur with oral use of the balsam.

Common Side Effects

  • Tingling or mild burning sensation in the mouth.
  • Transient throat irritation.
  • Nausea or mild stomach upset.
  • Headache.
  • Skin rash or mild allergic dermatitis.
  • Temporary increase in salivation.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).
  • Persistent vomiting or diarrhoea.
  • Significant respiratory distress.
  • Angioedema of the face or throat.
  • Severe mouth or throat burns.
  • Unexplained dizziness or fainting.

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Numark Mentholated Bronchial Balsam, consider the following precautions.

  • Children under 2 years: avoid use unless directed by a healthcare professional.
  • Pregnancy: consult a physician before use.
  • Breastfeeding: discuss potential risks with a healthcare provider.
  • Known allergy to menthol, aniseed oil or capsicum: do not use.
  • Excessive use: limit to the amount recommended by the prescriber to avoid irritation.
  • Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Avoid Interactions

Numark Mentholated Bronchial Balsam may interact with other medicines or substances.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent use with other strong cough suppressants containing codeine or dextromethorphan may increase risk of respiratory depression.
  • Use with other menthol‑containing products can cause excessive numbness or irritation.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Antihistamines may enhance sedation when combined with the balm.
  • Alcohol consumption can increase mucosal irritation.
  • MAO inhibitors may potentiate systemic effects of capsicum.
  • Use with other topical irritants (e.g., nasal sprays) may heighten local discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Numark Mentholated Bronchial Balsam is an over‑the‑counter oral balsam that helps relieve cough, bronchial irritation and mild congestion. It is intended for temporary relief of respiratory discomfort in adults and children, providing a cooling and soothing effect on the throat and airways.

Levomenthol activates the TRPM8 receptors in the oral and respiratory mucosa, creating a cooling sensation and mild local anesthesia. This reduces the sensory trigger for coughing and soothes irritated tissues, contributing to overall cough suppression.

The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, condition and response. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not exceed the recommended amount.

Safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been definitively established. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should consult their physician before using the product to weigh potential benefits against any risks.

Enquiries can be submitted through the product page on gnhindia.com by specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Unlike systemic cough suppressants such as codeine or dextromethorphan, Numark Mentholated Bronchial Balsam provides a local, non‑systemic effect through cooling, soothing and mild mucosal stimulation. It is generally considered safer for short‑term use and does not carry the same risk of central nervous system depression.

Store the balsam at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep it away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the container is tightly closed to maintain product integrity.

The product is taken orally. The prescribed amount is usually placed on the tongue or inside the cheek and allowed to dissolve slowly, providing a gradual release of the active ingredients that act locally on the throat and airway.

Serious risks, although rare, include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, angioedema, persistent vomiting, and significant respiratory distress. If any of these occur, discontinue use immediately and seek emergency medical attention.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to levomenthol, aniseed oil, capsicum or any other component of the formulation should avoid the product. Children under two years of age should not use it unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional.
