Ambroxol + Doxofylline is primarily used for managing bronchospasms associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and belongs to the group of bronchodilators and mucolytic medicines.
It is also used as an adjunct therapy for bronchial asthma, helps expel thick, sticky mucus from the airways, and reduces the frequency and severity of COPD exacerbations.
Nausea and vomiting
Abdominal pain
Diarrhoea
Headache
Rash or itching
Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent that helps break down and clear mucus from the lungs, making it easier to breathe by reducing airway blockages.
Doxofylline is a bronchodilator and phosphodiesterase inhibitor that relaxes the muscles in the airways, which helps to widen them and improve airflow.
Together, Ambroxol and Doxofylline provide a complementary approach to managing respiratory symptoms. Ambroxol clears mucus, while Doxofylline alleviates muscle constriction, addressing both key issues in various respiratory conditions for more effective symptom relief.
