Sanofi, Mucosolvan, 20

Ambroxol hydrochloride

The active substance of Mucosolvan is ambroxol , an expectorant with mucolytic properties. It increases the amount of bronchial secretion and reduces its viscosity. Additionally, it increases the frequency of respiratory epithelial cilia, which accelerates transport and mucociliary clearance. It stimulates the secretion of surfactant, which supports the proper functioning of the lungs. All these actions facilitate expectoration of retained secretion, which helps to clear the respiratory tract and relieve a troublesome cough.

Preparation intended for adults.

Indications

Acute and chronic diseases of the lungs and bronchi associated with impaired mucus secretion and impaired its transport.

• Hypersensitivity to ambroxol or any of the other ingredients of the drug.

Adverse reactions

Amroksol interacts with various medications taken at the same time. Before using the preparation, you should familiarize yourself with the list of active substances that it affects (with reciprocity).

Like all medicines, Mucosolvan can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Gastrointestinal problems and allergic reactions are usually observed.

Additional information

When using expectorants, you should drink large amounts of water, at least 2 liters per day. Proper hydration increases the thinning of bronchial secretions and facilitates expectoration.
