1. What is Ambroxol Normon and what is it used for
Ambroxol Normon belongs to the group of medications called mucolytics. The active ingredient ambroxol acts by reducing the viscosity of mucus, making it more fluid and easier to eliminate.
This medication is used to treat acute and chronic respiratory tract conditions that require dissolution and elimination of mucus.
You should consult a doctor if your symptoms worsen or do not improve after 5 days of treatment.
2. What you need to know before taking Ambroxol Normon
