What Mucosan is and what it is used for
Ambroxol, the active ingredient in this medicine, belongs to a group of medicines called mucolytics, which work by decreasing the viscosity of mucus, fluidizing it and facilitating its elimination.
This medicine is indicated to facilitate the elimination of excess mucus and phlegm, in colds and flu, for adults and children from 2 years.
You should see a doctor if it worsens or does not improve after 5 days.
