A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Macbery Junior. The medicine inside is the same — the brand name, manufacturer and price are what differ.
All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.
Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.
Macbery Junior contains Ambroxol (15mg/5ml) + Levosalbutamol (0.5mg/5ml) + Guaifenesin (50mg/5ml).
Treatment of Cough with mucus
Macbery Junior Expectorant is a combination of three medicines: ambroxol, levosalbutamol, and guaifenesin. Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles around the airways, helping open them and making breathing easier. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that helps clear mucus from the airways by making it thinner and less sticky, promoting its removal through coughing. Together, these medicines help reduce mucus buildup, ease breathing, and relieve cough associated with mucus.
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Macbery Junior Expectorant may be taken with or without food.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
If you miss a dose of Macbery Junior Expectorant, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
Taking more Macbery Junior than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.
Most side effects of Macbery Junior are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:
Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Macbery Junior Expectorant is used to relieve cough with mucus by thinning and clearing phlegm from the airways. Drink plenty of fluids while taking Macbery Junior Expectorant, as this helps loosen mucus and improves its effect. Macbery Junior Expectorant is not meant for dry cough (cough without mucus). Macbery Junior Expectorant may cause dizziness or sleepiness. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how it affects you. Stop taking Macbery Junior Expectorant and contact your doctor if you develop severe palpitations, chest discomfort, tremors, or a very fast heartbeat. Inform your doctor if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, or diabetes before taking Macbery Junior Expectorant. Do not take more than the recommended dose, as overdose may cause rapid heartbeat, nervousness, or tremors. Consult your doctor if your cough lasts more than a few days, worsens, or is accompanied by fever, breathlessness, or chest pain. Do not use Macbery Junior Expectorant without medical advice in children, pregnant or breastfeeding women.
