Brox Syrup 15 mg/5 ml contains Ambroxol Hydrochloride, a mucolytic agent used in the treatment of respiratory tract conditions associated with excessive or thick mucus. It helps in loosening and clearing mucus from the airways, making breathing easier and reducing chest congestion.
Ambroxol works by breaking down the structure of mucus, reducing its thickness and stickiness. It also improves the activity of the respiratory cilia, which helps in the natural clearance of mucus from the lungs. This makes it effective in conditions such as bronchitis, productive cough, and respiratory infections.
Brox Syrup is suitable for both adults and children as prescribed, and is commonly used to relieve productive cough and chest congestion.
