Uses of Ambril 30 mg Liquid

What is it prescribed for?

Emphysema

Emphysema is a condition that involves damage to the walls of the air sacs (alveoli) of the lung. Ambril 30 mg Liquid is used to ease the symptoms of emphysema like shortness of breath, persistent cough, and swelling of the airways of the lungs by making the sputum thin and less viscous and easy to cough out.

Tracheobronchitis

Tracheobronchitis is an infection causing swelling of the trachea (windpipe) and airways of the lungs. Ambril 30 mg Liquid is used in the symptomatic treatment of Tracheobronchitis as it provides relief from symptoms such as excessive cough and thick sputum.

Acute exacerbations of bronchitis

Acute exacerbation of bronchitis refers to a sudden worsening of the symptoms of bronchitis (narrowing of the airways). Ambril 30 mg Liquid may be given with the appropriate antibiotic in such conditions as it helps in mucus secretion. Thus, it helps to improve cough, difficulties in removing mucous as well as other symptoms.
