Ambroxol 7.5 mg/ml oral drops

It thins and loosens thick sputum in the airways, making it easier to cough up.

It is used for respiratory diseases with viscous sputum, such as bronchitis, pneumonia, bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis and COPD.

Composition:

Each 1 ml contains:

• Ambroxol hydrochloride 7.5 mg

Excipients: glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol 70%, strawberry flavour, carmoisine, purified water.

Properties:

Mucolytic and expectorant medicine, an active N-demethylated metabolite of bromhexine.

It stimulates the serous cells of the bronchial mucosa and increases the movement of the ciliated epithelium, and it promotes endogenous surfactant formation.
