ACETYLCYSTEINE+AMBROXOL belongs to the class of drugs called 'mucolytic agents' (cough/sputum thinner), primarily used to prevent and treat symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), such as coughing, wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe), and shortness of breath. COPD is a group of lung diseases that mainly include emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes).
ACETYLCYSTEINE+AMBROXOL consists of two mucolytic agents: Acetylcysteine and Ambroxol. ACETYLCYSTEINE+AMBROXOL works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in lungs, windpipe and nasal passage. Ambroxol is also an 'expectorant' that promotes the secretion of sputum/cough by air passages. Thus, ACETYLCYSTEINE+AMBROXOL makes sputum less viscous and promotes easier breathing.
Take ACETYLCYSTEINE+AMBROXOL as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage and duration will be suggested by your doctor based on your medical condition. Some people may experience common side effects like nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, stomach pain, and fever. These side effects, if occurred, generally go away during the treatment. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

It is mandatory to inform your doctor if you have any heart, liver, or kidney diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, stomach ulcers, asthma, and diabetes before taking ACETYLCYSTEINE+AMBROXOL. ACETYLCYSTEINE+AMBROXOL is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding. ACETYLCYSTEINE+AMBROXOL is not recommended in children below 14 years of age. Avoid or limit alcohol consumption while using ACETYLCYSTEINE+AMBROXOL to prevent any unwanted effects.
