FAQs

Zilee AX 500mg/75mg Tablet consists of two medicines: Ambroxol (dilutes viscous cough) and Levofloxacin (antibiotic). Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough. Levofloxacin is an antibiotic that stops bacterial growth by inhibiting the two enzymes (bacterial topoisomerase IV and DNA gyrase) required for bacterial cell growth. The addition of ambroxol enhances the antibacterial effect of levofloxacin.

About Zilee AX 500mg/75mg Tablet

Zilee AX 500mg/75mg Tablet belongs to a class of drugs called 'respiratory stimulants' (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 the 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, dry irritating cough and wet cough with mucus occur.

Zilee AX 500mg/75mg Tablet consists of two medicines: Ambroxol (dilutes viscous cough) and Levofloxacin (antibiotic).

Levofloxacin comes into the category of antibiotic medicines that stop bacterial growth by inhibiting the two enzymes (bacterial topoisomerase IV and DNA gyrase) required for bacterial cell growth.
