1. What Mucibrón forte is and what it is used for

Ambroxol hydrochloride, the active ingredient 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 to facilitate the elimination of excess mucus and phlegm in colds and flu, for adults and children from 2 years old.

You should consult a doctor if your symptoms worsen or do not improve after 5 days (3 days in children under 6 years).
