Genericon Ambroxol 30 mg 20 tablets

Ambroxol Genericon loosens congested and sticky secretion from the bronchial wall and thus facilitates expectoration.
Ambroxol Genericon is preferably used with plenty of liquid for expectorant treatment and thus to support acute and chronic diseases of the respiratory tract (bronchial tubes and lungs).

If you do not feel better or worse after 4-5 days, contact your doctor.
