Description
Ambroxol-TEVA (ambroxol hydrochloride) Syrup 15 mg/5 ml – 100 ml
Composition
Ambroxol-TEVA syrup contains ambroxol hydrochloride as the active ingredient. Other ingredients include sucrose, glycerol, citric acid monohydrate, sodium benzoate, sodium cyclamate, levomenthol, raspberry flavor, and purified water.
Mechanism of Action
Ambroxol stimulates the production of surfactant in the lungs, aiding in mucus clearance and improving respiratory function. It also possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to its therapeutic effects in respiratory diseases.
Pharmacological Properties
Ambroxol-TEVA syrup exhibits mucolytic and expectorant properties. It improves mucociliary clearance, reduces mucus viscosity, and helps manage respiratory conditions characterized by excessive mucus production.
Indications for Use
Ambroxol-TEVA syrup is indicated for respiratory diseases associated with viscid mucus, including acute and chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis, and other conditions where mucus production is problematic.
Contraindications
Avoid using Ambroxol-TEVA syrup if allergic to ambroxol or any other ingredients. It is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to ambroxol or similar drugs.
Side Effects
In clinical trials, Ambroxol-TEVA syrup has shown to be well-tolerated with minimal side effects. Common side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances or allergic reactions. Consult a healthcare provider if any adverse effects occur.
Usage Instructions
Shake the bottle well before use and use the provided measuring cup for accurate dosage. For adults and children over 12 years, the recommended dose is 10 ml (30 mg) three times daily.

Stay hydrated to aid mucus clearance.
Benefits Compared to Analogues
Ambroxol has a rapid onset of action and prolonged effect compared to other mucolytic agents. Its efficacy in reducing mucus viscosity and promoting clearance has been well-documented, making it a preferred choice in managing respiratory conditions.
Suitable Patient Groups
Ambroxol-TEVA syrup is suitable for adults, children over 6 years, and the elderly. Individual dosage adjustments may be necessary based on age and medical condition. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.
