Ambrodil Drops 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. Acute respiratory diseases are initially associated with dry, irritating cough, hoarseness in laryngitis (swelling of the voice box) or burning sensation in chest due to bronchitis (swelling of the lining of bronchial tubes). Then, wet mucus forms and continuous coughing out of sputum occurs. In chronic respiratory diseases, both dry irritating cough and wet cough with mucus occur.

Ambrodil Drops contains Ambroxol that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in lungs, windpipe and nose. Ambrodil Drops breakdown the acid mucopolysaccharide fibres that make 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.

Some people may experience nausea, taste change, numbness in mouth, tongue and throat. Most of these side effects of Ambrodil Drops do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.

If you have kidney or liver problems, stomach ulcer, asthma or cough from long time, please inform your doctor before taking Ambrodil Drops.
