Product Benefits (Specific to Ambroxol Hydrochloride SR Capsules):

• Effective Mucus Thinning (Mucolytic): Ambroxol is a potent mucolytic agent that breaks down and thins thick, sticky mucus and phlegm in the respiratory tract, making it easier to cough up and clear.

• Sustained Release (SR) Action: The SR formulation ensures a gradual and continuous release of Ambroxol over an extended period (typically 12 or 24 hours). This means less frequent dosing (often once daily) and consistent therapeutic effect.

• Relieves Productive Cough: By facilitating mucus clearance, it effectively reduces the intensity and frequency of productive (chesty) coughs.

• Aids in Clear Breathing: Helps to open up airways and promote easier, more comfortable breathing, especially in conditions with excessive mucus production.

• Reduces Chest Congestion: Directly targets the cause of chest congestion by thinning and mobilizing phlegm.

• Anti-inflammatory & Antioxidant Properties (additional benefit): Ambroxol has also been shown to possess some anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in the respiratory system, contributing to overall lung health.

• Convenient Dosing: The sustained-release mechanism allows for once-daily (or less frequent) dosing, improving patient adherence compared to multiple daily doses.

• Effective for Chronic Conditions: Commonly used in the management of chronic respiratory diseases like chronic bronchitis, COPD, and asthmatic bronchitis where mucus hypersecretion is a problem.

CRITICAL USAGE WARNINGS:

• PRESCRIPTION ONLY: Ambrox 75 SR Capsules are a prescription medication. They should never be used without a valid prescription and medical guidance.

• Medical Consultation is Essential: Always consult a doctor or pulmonologist for proper diagnosis, specific dosage instructions, duration of treatment, and to understand potential side effects and drug interactions.

• Drink Plenty of Fluids: It's often recommended to increase fluid intake while taking mucolytics to further aid in thinning mucus.

• Do Not Crush/Chew: Sustained-release capsules should generally not be crushed, chewed, or opened, as this can destroy the SR mechanism and lead to rapid drug release and potential side effects.

• Potential Side Effects: Common side effects are generally mild and may include gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), heartburn, or allergic reactions (rare but serious).

• Drug Interactions: Inform your doctor about ALL medications, including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and herbal remedies.

• Not for Dry Cough: This medication is for productive coughs with phlegm, not typically for dry coughs.

• Storage: Store according to package instructions.
