About Ambrolite Syrup

Ambrolite Syrup belongs to a class of drugs called 'mucolytic agents' (cough/sputum thinner) primarily used to treat Cough. It also treats 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, both dry, irritating cough and wet cough with mucus occur.

Ambrolite Syrup contains Ambroxol, which works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Ambrolite Syrup breaks down the acid mucopolysaccharide fibres that make the mucous (sputum) thinner and less dense/viscous. Coughing efficiently removes sputum. However, the viscosity of sputum remains low for as long as treatment is maintained.

Take Ambrolite Syrup as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you take Ambrolite Syrup based on your medical condition. Some people may experience nausea, taste change, and numbness in the mouth, tongue and throat. Most of these side effects of Ambrolite Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Ambrolite Syrup or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Ambrolite Syrup . If you have had kidney or liver problems, stomach ulcers, asthma, or a cough for a long time, please inform your doctor before taking Ambrolite Syrup .
