How Acorex works
Acorex is a mucolytic medication. It thins and loosens mucus (phlegm) in the nose, windpipe and lungs making it easier to cough out.
Quick Tips
- Acorex helps in thinning and removal of the mucus (slimy and sticky substance) from the airways, thereby treats various respiratory conditions.
- Measure the syrup with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon.
- Inform your doctor if you have suffered or are currently suffering from any stomach, liver or kidney problem.
- Do not use Acorex for more than 14 days, without your doctor’s advice.
- Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or are breastfeeding.
Brief Description
Indication
Syrup: Adults -10 ml (2 teaspoonful), 3 times a day.
SR Capsule : Adults - 1 capsule, once daily
Administration
No clinically relevant unfavourable interaction with other medications has been reported.
Adult Dose
Ambroxol should be given cautiously to patients with gastric and duodenal ulceration or convulsive disorders. Patients with hepatic and renal insufficiency should take it with caution.
Renal Dose
Ambroxol is a metabolite of Bromhexine. It possesses mucokinetic (improvement in mucus transport) and secretolytic (liquefies secretions) properties. Ambroxol stimulates the serous cells of the glands of the mucous membrane of bronchi, increasing the content of mucus secretion. The mucolytic effect is associated with depolymerization and splitting of mucoproteins and mucopolysaccharide fibres, which leads to reduction in the viscosity of mucus. Expectoration of mucus is facilitated and breathing is eased considerably. Ambroxol stimulates production of phospholipids of surfactant by alveolar cells. Ambroxol has anti-inflammatory properties. In patients with COPD, it improves airway patency.
