How Amrox Syrup works
Amrox Syrup contains three active medicines. Each ingredient present in this medicine plays a pivotal role. Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that decreases the stickiness of the mucus and helps in its removal from the airways. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator that relaxes and widens the muscles in the airways.

FAQs
My child has a cough with no mucus. Can I give Amrox Syrup?
No, Amrox Syrup is advised for the treatment of wet cough. It aims to expel the mucus from the airway tract, thereby relieving your child from throat irritation, congestion and rendering him a soothing effect. Whereas, for a dry cough, cough suppressants are a better option. So, it will be wise to ask your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
What if my child takes too much Amrox Syrup?
An overdose or a prolonged intake of Amrox Syrup may cause serious side effects like seizures, rapid heart rate, and excess salivation. Make sure to give this medicine to your child strictly as per the prescribed dose, time, and way. You must also ensure not to stop the medication abruptly even if your child starts to feel better. Sudden withdrawal of this medicine may worsen your child’s condition.
My child has a severe cough. Can I give him two cough medicines together?
Do not give your child more than one cough or cold medicine at a time unless advised by your child’s doctor. In case of confusion, always consult your child’s doctor before giving any medications to your child.
Can I give my cough medicine to my child?

Follow the prescribed dose strictly.
How should Amrox Syrup be stored?
