Ambrodil Syrup 100 ml

Ambrodil Syrup 100 ml belongs to a class of drugs called 'mucolytic agents' (cough/sputum thinner) primarily used to treat acute (short term) and chronic (long term) respiratory diseases associated with excess mucus. Ambrodil Syrup 100 ml is used in the conditions of acute and recurrent bronchitis (airways infection), laryngitis (voice box infection), tracheitis (windpipe infection) and chronic diseases like chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Ambrodil Syrup 100 ml contains Ambroxol hydrochloride that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in lungs, windpipe and nose. Ambrodil Syrup 100 ml breaks down the acid mucopolysaccharide fibres and makes the mucous (sputum) thinner and less dense/viscous, removing sputum efficiently by coughing. However, the viscosity of sputum remains low for as long as treatment is maintained.

Take Ambrodil Syrup 100 ml as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you need to take Ambrodil Syrup 100 ml based on your medical condition.

Cough: Coughing is a body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Coughs may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings up sputum (phlegm, mucus and other matter) from the lungs. Dry cough does not produce sputum. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection but coughing up mucus is possibly an infection in the respiratory tract.
