 How it works

• Ambroxol works by:
• Getting rid of heavy mucus in the lungs.
• Making surfactant, which helps mucus travel more freely.
• Making mucociliary clearance better, which helps the body get rid of mucus more easily.
• This makes the phlegm thinner, makes it easier to cough, and makes breathing easier.
