Price ≠ effectiveness:

Uses

Roxee M 150 mg/30 mg Tablet is used in the treatment of cough and bacterial infections associated with respiratory disorders. The detailed uses of Roxee M 150 mg/30 mg Tablet are as follows:

  • Treats Cough Associated with Respiratory Disorders: Roxee M 150 mg/30 mg Tablet helps thin and loosen mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough out. This helps improve breathing in conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
  • Treats Bacterial Infections: Roxee M 150 mg/30 mg Tablet inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, thereby stopping the growth and multiplication of bacteria responsible for respiratory infections.

Medicinal Benefits

Roxee M 150 mg/30 mg Tablet consists of two medicines: Roxithromycin (antibiotic) and Ambroxol (dilutes viscous cough). Roxithromycin comes into the category of antibiotic medicines that stop bacterial growth by inhibiting the protein synthesis process required for bacterial cell growth. As a result, bacterial cells are not able to reproduce and grow. It is a bacteriostatic antibiotic, i.e. it stops bacteria's growth but does not necessarily kill them. On the other hand, Ambroxol is an 'expectorant' (promotes the secretion of sputum/cough) and a 'mucolytic agent' (makes sputum less viscous) to make breathing easier in asthma and COPD patients who have difficulty breathing.
