Properties:
Sedobroxol is a systemically active mucolytic agent.
Following orally administration, onset of action occurs after about 30 minutes.
The breakdown of acid mucopolysaccharide fibers makes the sputum thinner and less viscid and therefore more easily removed by coughing.
Although sputum volume eventually decreases, its viscosity remains low for as long as treatment is maintained.
Indications:
Treatment of respiratory disorders associated with viscid or excessive mucus (wet or productive cough): e.g.Tracheobronchitis, emphysema with bronchitis ; pneumoconiosis, chronic inflammatory pulmonary conditions, bronchiectasis, bronchitis with bronchospasm & asthma.

N.B.
During acute exacerbations of bronchitis it should be given with the appropriate antibiotic.

Contraindications:
Patients with hypersensitivity to the active ingredient (ambroxol hydrochloride), or to bromhexine, or to any of the ingredients in the formulation.

Precautions:
- Relative caution should be observed in patients with history of gastric or peptic ulcer.
