COMPOSITION :

DESCRIPTION :

Mucosental (Ambroxol HCl) contains Ambroxol which is the active metabolite of bromhexine and it is a systemic

mucolytic agent. It acts by altering the structure of mucus to decrease its viscosity and therefore facilitates its

removal by ciliary action or expectoration. This results in a considerable improvement in breathing and a reduction

in the frequency of coughing. Thus Mucosental restores the protective function of the normal secretions on the

surface of the respiratory mucosa.

- Cases of exacerbating chronic bronchitis, asthmatic bronchitis and bronchial asthma.
