1. What is Mucosolvan Max and what is it used for
Ambroxol, the active substance of Mucosolvan Max, increases the secretion of mucus in the respiratory tract, facilitates expectoration, and alleviates cough.

Acute and chronic lung and bronchial diseases with impaired mucus secretion and its transport.
2. Important information before taking Mucosolvan Max

- If the patient is allergic to ambroxol hydrochloride or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Mucosolvan Max is not intended for use in children and adolescents.
Mucosolvan Max and other medicines
The patient should inform their doctor or pharmacist about all medicines they are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines they plan to take.
Ambroxol increases the concentration of antibiotics (amoxicillin, cefuroxime, erythromycin) in bronchopulmonary secretions and sputum.
Mucosolvan Max should not be administered simultaneously with cough suppressants (e.g., codeine), as this may lead to a dangerous accumulation of bronchial secretions due to weakened cough reflex. Cough suppressants weaken the effect of ambroxol by inhibiting the cough reflex and making it difficult to expectorate liquefied mucus.
No significant clinically relevant adverse interactions with other medicines have been found.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility
If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, thinks they may be pregnant, or plans to have a child, they should consult their doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
The use of Mucosolvan Max is not recommended during pregnancy, especially during the first three months of pregnancy.
The use of Mucosolvan Max is not recommended in breastfeeding women, as ambroxol hydrochloride passes into breast milk.
Non-clinical studies have not shown any direct or indirect harmful effects of the medicine on fertility. There are no clinical studies on the effects of the medicine on fertility.
