1. What is Broxivan and what is it used for

Ambroxol, the active substance of this medicine, belongs to a group of medicines called mucolytics, which act by decreasing the viscosity of mucus, making it more fluid and easier to eliminate.

This medicine is indicated for the treatment of dissolution of mucus in diseases of the bronchi and lungs with thick mucus, in adults and children from 2 years of age.

You should consult a doctor if it gets worse or if it does not improve after 5 days (within 3 days in children under 6 years of age).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.

  • If you have severe kidney or liver problems, this medicine should only be used after consulting a doctor.
  • If you have a disorder of bronchial motor activity (lung problems) along with a large production of secretions (risk of a mucous plug), you should not take this medicine;
  • If you experience a skin rash (including lesions of the mucous membranes such as mouth, throat, nose, eyes, genitals), stop using this medicine and consult your doctor immediately. There have been reports of severe skin reactions associated with the administration of ambroxol.
  • If you have a histamine intolerance (allergy to histamine-rich foods). In that case, you should avoid long-term treatment, as the active substance of this medicine influences histamine metabolism and may cause intolerance symptoms (such as headache, nasal discharge, itching).
  • If you are prone to developing peptic ulcers, as mucolytics (such as this medicine) may alter the gastric mucosa barrier. In this case, you should not take this medicine.

No interactions of ambroxol with other medicines are known.

While taking ambroxol, you should not use any medicine that suppresses the cough reflex (so-called antitussives). The cough reflex is important for coughing up the liquefied mucus and thus eliminating it from the lungs.
