Ambroxol is a clinically proven systemically active mucolytic agent. When administered orally, onset of action occurs after about 30 minutes. The breakdown of acid mucopolysaccharide fibers makes the sputum thinner and less viscous and therefore more easily removed by coughing. Although sputum volume eventually decreases, its viscosity remains low for as long as treatment is maintained.
Aroxol® is used in conditions where there is excessive thick mucous production in the air passages. By thinning the mucous, Aroxol® helps clear the air passages, thereby aiding in overcoming infections in the respiratory system.
Aroxol® should be taken after meals. The recommended dose for adults and children is as stated below:
Aroxol® is not recommended for children under 2 years of age without medical advice.
Medical advice should be sought if symptoms persist for more than 14 days and/or if symptoms worsen despite treatment with Aroxol®.
Aroxol® is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to Ambroxol or Bromhexine.

Nausea

Pregnancy: Special care is recommended during pregnancy, especially during the first 3 months.
