About Ralrox A 150 mg/60 mg Tablet

Ralrox A 150 mg/60 mg Tablet is a respiratory combination medication primarily used to treat cough associated with respiratory disorders like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes). Coughing occurs as a reflex action in the throat when there is mucus or any other foreign irritant in it.

The Ralrox A 150 mg/60 mg Tablet consists of two medicines: Roxithromycin (antibiotic) and Ambroxol (dilutes viscous cough). Roxithromycin comes into the category of antibiotic medicines that stop bacterial growth by inhibiting the protein synthesis process required for bacterial cell growth. As a result, bacterial cells are not able to reproduce and grow. It is a bacteriostatic antibiotic, i.e. it stops bacteria's growth but does not necessarily kill them. On the other hand, Ambroxol is an 'expectorant' (promotes the secretion of sputum/cough) and 'mucolytic agent' (makes sputum less viscous) to make breathing easier in asthma, and COPD patients who have difficulty in breathing.

Take Ralrox A 150 mg/60 mg Tablet preferably with food to avoid stomach upset and swallow whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break it. Your doctor will recommend how often you take Ralrox A 150 mg/60 mg Tablet based on your medical condition. Some people may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, taste disturbance, stomach pain, and allergic reactions. Most of these side effects of Ralrox A 150 mg/60 mg Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Before using Ralrox A 150 mg/60 mg Tablet tell your doctor if you ever had an allergy to Ralrox A 150 mg/60 mg Tablet, have kidney problems, liver problems, heart disease, peptic or duodenal ulcers.
