Indications
Amboten PD is used for productive cough and in conditions where the respiratory tract has thick mucus, such as acute and chronic bronchitis, asthma, and bronchiectasis. Amboten PD is also helpful in treating inflammation of the nose and throat, such as sinusitis, pharyngitis, and rhinitis, that is linked with thick mucus. Amboten PD can be used in chronic pneumonia and other related conditions.
Pharmacology
Amboten PD is a product of bromhexine and works better than bromhexine itself to help clear mucus from the lungs. Amboten PD thins the mucus in the airways, making Amboten PD easier to cough up, which helps to breathe better. Amboten PD also helps produce substances in the lungs that help keep them open. Additionally, Amboten PD has anti-inflammatory effects that reduce inflammation in the airways, and Amboten PD helps improve airflow in people with chronic lung conditions like COPD.
