Ambroxol hydrochloride, the active ingredient in Ambroxol Genericon, loosens congested and viscous secretion from the bronchial wall, making it easier to cough up.
Ambroxol Genericon is used together with plenty of liquid for expectorant treatment in acute and chronic diseases of the respiratory tract (bronchi and lungs) with viscous mucus.
If you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 5 days, contact your doctor.
