About Ambrodil Syrup

Ambrodil Syrup 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 is used in the conditions of acute and recurrent bronchitis (airway infection), laryngitis (voice box infection), tracheitis (windpipe infection) and chronic diseases like chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Ambrodil Syrup contains Ambroxol hydrochloride that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Ambrodil Syrup 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 as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you need to take Ambrodil Syrup based on your medical condition. Some people may experience side effects such as nausea, taste change, and numbness in the mouth, tongue and throat. Most of these side effects of Ambrodil Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Ambrodil Syrup or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Ambrodil Syrup . If you have kidney or liver problems, stomach ulcers, asthma or cough for a long time, please inform your doctor before taking Ambrodil Syrup . In children below 6 years, the liquid form is preferred as tablets are contraindicated.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Cough: Coughing is the 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.
