Drenoxol 6mg/ml Syrup 200ml

Drenoxol 6mg/ml syrup is a mucolytic adjunct to the antibacterial treatment of respiratory infections in the presence of bronchial hypersecretion.

Active substance: 6 mg ambroxol/ml of syrup.

Ambroxol is a specific fluidifier that acts on the viscosity and structure of mucus. It increases the production of pulmonary surfactant and stimulates ciliary activity. These actions result in improved mucus flow and transport (mucociliary clearance). The improvement in mucociliary clearance, which has been demonstrated in clinical pharmacological studies, facilitates sputum and coughing.

Dosage and method of administration:

Treatment should not be exceeded for more than 5-7 days without consulting the treating physician. Each 5 ml of syrup is equivalent to a full teaspoon. Adults and children over 12 years: 10 ml (2 teaspoons), 2 times a day. This regimen is suitable for the therapy of acute respiratory tract disorders and for the initial treatment of chronic conditions for up to 14 days. For the treatment of children under 12 years of age, depending on the severity of the disease, the following dosage regimen is recommended: Children from 6 to 12 years: 5 ml (1 teaspoon), 2 to 3 times a day (corresponding to 1 .2 mg/kg body weight).
