How Ambrodil Xp Capsule works

Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus and improves its clearance from the airways. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that increases bronchial secretions and helps expel phlegm. Terbutaline is a beta-2 agonist bronchodilator that relaxes airway smooth muscles to ease breathing and reduce wheeze.

How to take Ambrodil Xp Capsule

Take the capsule orally with water as prescribed by the doctor, usually after food. Swallow whole; do not crush or chew. Maintain adequate fluid intake to help loosen mucus.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause vomiting, severe drowsiness, a racing heart and, with codeine, dangerously slow breathing. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
