About Ambrolite XT Syrup

Ambrolite XT Syrup belongs to the class of medicines called expectorants primarily used to treat cough associated with mucus. Coughing (dry or productive) is a body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs, namely: Dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) produces mucous or sputum.

Ambrolite XT Syrup contains Ambroxol, Guaiphenesin and Terbutaline. Ambroxol works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Guaiphenesin increases the volume of fluid in the airways, reduces the stickiness of mucus, and removes it from the airways. Terbutaline relaxes muscles and widens the airways. Thereby, it makes breathing easier. Together, Ambrolite XT Syrup helps provide relief from cough.

Your doctor will recommend the dose and duration based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, headache, dizziness, nervousness, and stomach upset. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Ambrolite XT Syrup should be used with caution in children if prescribed by a doctor. If you are suffering from fits or have a history of fits, please inform your doctor before taking Ambrolite XT Syrup as it may increase the risk of recurrent fits. If you have diabetes, regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is recommended while taking Ambrolite XT Syrup. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any interactions/ side effects.
