Zorkuf A works through the combined action of its active ingredients. Ambroxol acts as a mucolytic agent, helping to break down and thin the mucus in the respiratory tract, making it easier to cough up.

Terbutaline is a bronchodilator that helps to relax and widen the airways, making it easier to breathe.
