Ambroxol Hydrochloride Injection
Ambroxol is a medicine used to treat respiratory diseases (problems in the airways and lungs) associated with excessive mucous production in children and adults. This medicine works by thinning and loosening the mucous so that it can be coughed out easily. This helps you to breathe easily.
Ambroxol hydrochloride injection is a medication used to address respiratory conditions characterized by thick or excessive phlegm. Let’s explore its key features:
Composition:
Each tablet contains ambroxol hydrochloride 30 mg.
Each 5 ml of the syrup contains ambroxol hydrochloride 15 mg1.
Mechanism of Action:
Ambroxol works as a mucolytic agent, helping to thin down and break up phlegm (sputum).
It promotes the expulsion of thick respiratory secretions, making them easier to remove by coughing.
The breakdown of acid mucopolysaccharide fibers results in thinner and less viscous sputum, aiding in its removal2.
Indications:
Ambroxol is used in various respiratory conditions, including:
Tracheobronchitis
Emphysema with bronchitis
Pneumoconiosis
Chronic inflammatory pulmonary conditions
Bronchiectasis
Bronchitis with bronchospasm asthma
During acute exacerbations of bronchitis, it is often administered alongside an appropriate antibiotic1.
Local Anesthetic Effect:
Ambroxol also has a local numbing effect, which makes it useful for relieving sore throats3.
