Understanding Ambroxol: Your Respiratory Relief Partner
Ambroxol is a trusted mucolytic agent (expectorant) that has been helping Filipinos breathe easier for decades. It works by breaking down thick, sticky mucus in your airways, making it easier to cough out and clear your chest. Whether you're dealing with a productive cough, bronchitis, or asthma with excessive phlegm, Ambroxol helps restore comfortable breathing.

How Ambroxol Works (Simple Explanation)
Imagine your airways are clogged with thick, sticky mucus that's hard to expel. Ambroxol acts like a "mucus thinner"—it stimulates your body to produce more watery secretions and breaks down the thick fibers in phlegm. This makes the mucus less sticky and easier to cough out, helping to:

Clear chest congestion and phlegm buildup
Improve breathing in conditions with thick mucus
Support antibiotic effectiveness in respiratory infections
Protect airways by boosting natural surfactant production

Think of it as turning thick "paste-like" mucus into thinner, more manageable fluid that your body can easily clear.

Safety & Side Effects: What to Watch For ⚠︎
Most patients tolerate Ambroxol well, but be a smart medicine user:

Common: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, dry mouth, mild skin rash—usually temporary as your body adjusts
Watch For: Severe skin reactions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome), difficulty breathing, facial swelling—seek immediate medical attention
Important: Do not use for more than 7 days without medical supervision. If symptoms persist, consult our doctor
Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Not recommended during first trimester; consult doctor if pregnant or nursing
Stomach Ulcers: Use with caution if you have gastric ulceration

Pro Tip: Ambroxol works best when you stay hydrated! Drink plenty of water to help thin mucus naturally. Avoid taking it with cough suppressants (like codeine) as this can prevent the mucus from being coughed out.

Remember: Ambroxol is for productive cough (cough with phlegm). If you have a dry cough, this may not be the right medicine. Consult our doctor during your free teleconsultation to get the right treatment.

Mahalagang Impormasyon sa Tagalog

Ambroxol: Ang Iyong Kaagapay sa Malusog na Paghinga
Ang Ambroxol ay isang mucolytic na gamot na tumutulong para mailabas ang makapal na plema sa iyong baga at airways. Ito ay ginagamit para sa productive cough (ubo na may plema), bronchitis, at iba pang respiratory conditions na may sobrang mucus.

Paano Gumagana ang Ambroxol?
Isipin na ang iyong lalamunan at baga ay barado ng makapal na plema. Ang Ambroxol ay parang "pampalabnaw" ng plema—pinatutunaw nito ang makapal na mucus para mas madali itong ilabas sa pamamagitan ng pag-ubo. Resulta: mas maluwag ang paghinga at mas ginhawa ang pakiramdam.

Ang Mahusay na Benepisyo ng Pagbili sa MedsGo

Mga Side Effect na Dapat Bantayan ⚠︎

Karaniwan: Pagkahilo, pagsusuka, pagtatae, dry mouth—usually pansamantala lang
Seryoso: Severe skin rash, hirap huminga, pamamaga ng mukha—tumawag agad ng doktor
Paalala: Huwag gamitin ng higit sa 7 araw nang walang supervision ng doktor
Buntis/Nagpapasuso: Hindi inirerekomenda sa unang trimester; kumonsulta muna sa doktor

Tip: Mas epektibo ang Ambroxol kapag umiinom ka ng maraming tubig! Iwasan din ang pagsabay nito sa cough suppressants (tulad ng codeine) dahil mahihirapan kang ilabas ang plema.
