Ambrokam T Suspension

Introduction

Uses

Ambrokam T is primarily prescribed to help relieve respiratory symptoms associated with conditions such as bronchitis, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It works by facilitating the removal of mucus from the airways, reducing coughing, and promoting easier breathing.

Mechanism of Action

Ambrokam T contains three active ingredients that work together to provide relief for respiratory symptoms. Ambroxol helps to break down and thin mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up. Guaifenesin also helps to loosen and thin mucus, while Terbutaline acts as a bronchodilator, relaxing the muscles in the airways and allowing for easier breathing.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, headache, dizziness, and dry mouth. These side effects are usually mild and temporary.

However, if you experience any serious side effects such as chest pain, irregular heartbeat, difficulty breathing, or allergic reactions (e.g., rash, itching, swelling), seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

Ambrokam T may interact with certain medications, including but not limited to beta-blockers, other bronchodilators, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal products, to avoid potential drug interactions.
