Ambroxol + Salbutamol

Ambroxol + Salbutamol is a combination medicine commonly used in the treatment of respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, and other lung-related disorders that involve airway obstruction and excess mucus production. Ambroxol and salbutamol are the active ingredients. Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent that thins and loosens mucus, making it easier to cough out. Salbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles and improves airflow to the lungs. Together, they help relieve breathing difficulties, clear mucus, and improve overall lung function.
