Description
AMBROXOL (AMBOLYT) SYRUP 100ML is a mucolytic medication containing 15 mg of ambroxol hydrochloride per 5 mL. Manufactured by Incepta Pharmaceuticals, it is used to treat respiratory conditions characterized by excessive or thick mucus, such as bronchitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and sinusitis.

Ambroxol works by thinning and loosening mucus in the respiratory tract, making it easier to expel through coughing. It also stimulates the production of surfactant in the lungs, which helps reduce surface tension and improves lung function.
