Composition

Ambroxol (7.5 Mg)

Mucolite Drops are primarily used to manage productive cough and respiratory conditions characterised by excessive mucus secretion in children. This medicine is an oral mucolytic, which means it aids in breaking down mucus in the body.

In addition to this main use, it can be beneficial in dealing with numerous acute and chronic respiratory disorders marked by abnormal mucus secretion and impaired mucus transport. These include not only bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but also respiratory tract infections like pneumonia, laryngitis, tracheitis, and sinusitis, as well as bronchial asthma, having trouble coughing up mucus.

You should give this medicine to your child as directed by your doctor. Before starting on this, consult your doctor about any existing health conditions or current medications your child is on. If you notice any side effects in your child while using this medication, promptly notify your doctor.

Breaks Down Mucopolysaccharide Fibres: Ambroxol works by disrupting the structure of these fibres within the mucus, leading to a decline in mucus thickness and stickiness.
Stimulates Surfactant Production: In addition to breaking down fibres, ambroxol boosts the creation of surfactants, substances that prevent mucus from adhering to the walls of airways.
Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Properties: Ambroxol contains properties that help soothe the lining of your respiratory tract which can be beneficial in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.
