About Ambroxol+ammonium Chloride+guaifenesin+menthol+terbutaline
Ambroxol+ammonium Chloride+guaifenesin+menthol+terbutaline is an expectorant that is primarily used to treat cough associated with mucus. Coughing is a reflex that clears irritants and mucus from the throat. There are two types of cough (dry and wet): dry cough does not produce mucus and is often caused by irritation in the throat. A wet cough, also known as a productive cough, brings up mucus or phlegm from the respiratory tract.
Ambroxol+ammonium Chloride+guaifenesin+menthol+terbutaline is a combination of Ambroxol (a mucolytic agent), Ammonium Chloride (an irritant/expectorant), Guaifenesin (an expectorant), Menthol, and Terbutaline (a bronchodilator). Ambroxol and Guaifenesin work by thinning the mucus in the airways, making it easier to expel the mucus through coughing and clearing the respiratory passages. Ammonium Chloride reduces the stickiness of airway secretions and helps remove it from the air passages. Menthol provides relief from throat irritation. Terbutaline works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe by opening up the air passages.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Cough: Coughing is the body’s natural mechanism for clearing irritants like allergens, mucus, or smoke from the airways, helping to prevent infections. Coughs can either be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) involves the expulsion of sputum, such as phlegm, mucus, or other substances from the lungs. Coughing is often triggered by allergies or viral infections, but the presence of mucus can indicate a respiratory infection. Thick, white mucus may suggest a bacterial infection in the airways, while clear or light-colored mucus typically points to allergies or a mild infection. Yellow or green mucus is usually a sign of a more serious respiratory infection.
