Ambroxol Hydrochloride
AMBROXOL HYDROCHLORIDE
Overview:
Ambroxol Hydrochloride is a drug intended to assist in the relief associated with cough and inhaling complications because it helps to clear mucus in the respiratory tract. It is a mucolytic drug that operates by liquefying and dislodging dense mucus in the lungs, thus the thick mucus is easily released in the form of sneezes.
Classification: Mucolytic agent
Uses:
Ambroxol Hydrochloride, is used to treat mucus coughs, characterised by excessive production of mucus containing cough, usually found in bronchitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other respiratory tract infections. It acts by making the mucus less thick and loose, thus providing an easy way of expelling them and clearing the airways. This will improve breathing and provide relief on a congested chest. Also, it can be beneficial in case of a sore throat where it has some analgesic effect in the throat.
How it works:
Ambroxol Hydrochloride acts by loosening up of thickened mucus in the respiratory tract by making it less viscous and also not sticky. This helps in the evacuation of mucus by coughing which helps in lung evacuation. It also increases the secretion of a natural body chemical known as the surfactant. This chemical ensures that the airways are open and one is able to breathe more efficiently. Besides, Ambroxol has some anti-inflammatory effect and also gives some relief on the local pain relief especially on the throat region.
Dosage: As prescribed by your doctor.
Side effects:

Precautions:
Before using Ambroxol Hydrochloride, tell your physician whether you have some allergies, an ulcer in your stomach or any problems with your liver or kidneys. It is best administered with care with pregnant/breastfeeding mothers unless directed by a physician. It should not be used with other expectorants unless one seeks medical advice because this may interfere with mucus evacuation. Never exceed the recommended dose and report to the doctor about any odd symptoms.
