Solmux Advance launches engagement with community health workers

The pandemic has brought a greater awareness of cough in the last three years but there are still misconceptions about this symptom that are prevalent among Filipinos.

While restrictions against COVID-19 have relaxed, the need to take precautions against cough, which can be infectious or a sign of an underlying condition, must be sustained.

Unilab Inc.’s Solmux Advance with Zinc– an upgraded version of the Solmux that Filipinos know and trust for decades now, recently held its “Huwag Palalain, Ubo ay Supilin” seminar for all the barangay health workers (BHWs) of Mandaluyong City.

Solmux Advance with Zinc is an innovative product that combines carbocisteine and zinc to provide optimal efficacy in alleviating cough with phlegm associated with respiratory tract disorders, including acute bronchitis.

The event, organized in cooperation with the city health department under Dr. Arnold Abalos, featured a talk by Mandaluyong City universal health care coordinator Dr. Roy Julian on the causes and treatments of different kinds of cough.

“A cough is a natural defense mechanism of the body and can be useful in expectorating a foreign body. However, when it becomes prolonged, chronic, and comes with difficulty breathing, consultation with a health professional is needed,” Julian said.
