Voxquin AM 500mg/75mg Tablet SR 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.

Voxquin AM 500mg/75mg Tablet SR 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 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. 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. The addition of ambroxol enhances the antibacterial effect of levofloxacin.

Asthma: It is a breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus (cough), leading to difficulty breathing.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): It is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes). Symptoms include frequent coughing, excess sputum, shortness of breath, and trouble taking a deep breath.

Pneumonia: Pneumonia is an infection that inflames air sacs in one or both lungs, which may fill with fluid or pus. Symptoms include chest pain when you breathe or cough, confusion, cough (which may produce phlegm), fatigue, fever, sweating and shaking, chills, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, and shortness of breath.

Bronchiectasis: It is a condition where the bronchial tubes of your lungs are permanently damaged, widened, and thickened. These damaged air passages allow bacteria and mucus to build up and pool in your lungs. This results in frequent infections and blockages of the airways.
