Description
Ambroxol-TEVA (ambroxol hydrochloride) Solution 7.5 mg/ml. – 40 ml.
Ambroxol-TEVA is a medication that contains ambroxol hydrochloride as its active ingredient. It is available in the form of a solution with a concentration of 7.5 mg/ml. and comes in a 40 ml. bottle. Ambroxol-TEVA is commonly used to treat respiratory conditions such as coughs, bronchitis, and other conditions that involve excessive mucus production.
What is Ambroxol-TEVA used for?
Ambroxol-TEVA is a mucolytic agent, which means it helps to break down and thin out mucus in the respiratory tract. This can make it easier to cough up and clear the mucus from the lungs, improving breathing and easing symptoms such as coughing and chest congestion. Ambroxol-TEVA is commonly used to treat conditions such as:
- Coughs
- Bronchitis
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Asthma
- Cystic fibrosis
How does Ambroxol-TEVA work?
Ambroxol-TEVA works by stimulating the production of surfactant in the lungs. Surfactant is a substance that helps to reduce the surface tension of mucus, making it easier to cough up. By increasing the production of surfactant, Ambroxol-TEVA helps to break down thick and sticky mucus, making it easier to clear from the airways.
How to use Ambroxol-TEVA?
Ambroxol-TEVA should be taken as directed by your healthcare provider. The usual dose for adults and children over 12 years old is 10 ml. (75 mg) of the solution three times a day. For children aged 6-12 years, the recommended dose is 5 ml. (37.5 mg) three times a day. The solution can be taken with or without food. It is important to measure the dose accurately using the provided measuring device.
If you forget to take a dose of Ambroxol-TEVA, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
