Adverse Reactions
Ambroxol is generally well tolerated. Mild stomach disturbance such as pyrosis (heartburn), dyspepsia, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting may occur. Rash/urticaria, angioedema (rapid swelling of the skin), anaphylactic reactions (rare, life-threatening allergic reaction) and other allergic reactions have been reported.
Drug Interactions
There are no reports of adverse drug interactions with other medications. Administration of Ambroxol with antibiotics (e.g., Amoxicillin, Cefuroxime, Erythromycin) leads to higher antibiotic concentration in bronchopulmonary secretions and in sputum.

Action
These medicines contain Ambroxol, which stimulates fluid secretion in the respiratory tract and breaks down mucus resulting in the production of less thick and less sticky mucus/phlegm. Ambroxol improves mucociliary clearance (mucus flow and transport) making phlegm easier to cough up and expel.
