TGP Ambroxol 30mg Tablet
Ambroxol is a medication used as a mucolytic agent, meaning it helps to break down and thin mucus in the respiratory tract, making it easier to cough up. It is commonly used to treat conditions associated with excessive or thick mucus.
Description:
1. Formulation
o Strength: Each tablet contains 30 mg of ambroxol hydrochloride.
o Formulation: The tablet is designed to deliver a specific dose of ambroxol, which works directly on the mucus in the respiratory system.
2. Indications
Ambroxol is used to manage various respiratory conditions characterized by excessive mucus production. Its primary indications include:
o Chronic Bronchitis: To help manage mucus in chronic bronchitis by making it less viscous and easier to expel.
o Acute Bronchitis: To assist in relieving symptoms associated with acute bronchitis.
o Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): In COPD, it helps reduce mucus production and facilitate mucus clearance.
o Other Respiratory Conditions: Includes conditions with thick mucus production like asthma or emphysema.
3. Age Groups
o Adults: The typical dosage for adults is usually one 30 mg tablet two to three times daily, depending on the severity of the condition and the healthcare provider's recommendations.
o Children: Ambroxol is generally used in children, but dosages are different and should be tailored based on the child's age and weight. For children, liquid formulations or lower-strength tablets may be more appropriate. Always consult a healthcare provider for appropriate dosing in pediatric patients.
4. Contraindications
Ambroxol should be used with caution or avoided in the following situations:
o Hypersensitivity: If there is a known allergy or hypersensitivity to ambroxol or any of its components, it should not be used.
o Severe Renal Impairment: Caution is advised in patients with severe renal impairment. Dosage adjustments may be necessary, and a healthcare provider should be consulted.
o Severe Hepatic Impairment: In cases of severe liver dysfunction, use with caution as the drug may be metabolized differently.
5. Additional Considerations
o Side Effects: Common side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances (e.g., nausea, vomiting), rash, or allergic reactions. Serious side effects are rare but should be reported to a healthcare provider if they occur.
o Drug Interactions: Ambroxol may interact with other medications, especially those affecting the respiratory system or those with similar side effects. Inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are taking.
Always use ambroxol under the guidance of a healthcare provider, who will determine the appropriate dosage and monitor for any potential side effects or interactions based on individual patient needs.
