Treatment of productive cough and respiratory tract conditions involving excessive mucus production, such as acute bronchitis, common cold, and other upper respiratory infections where both cough suppression and mucus clearance are desired.

Ambroxol acts as a mucolytic agent that breaks down mucus fibers and enhances bronchial secretion clearance, while chlophedianol provides antitussive effects by suppressing the cough reflex in the brain. Together they address both the need to clear secretions and reduce bothersome coughing.

Should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to either component. Caution advised in those with respiratory conditions such as asthma or COPD. Alcohol and CNS depressants may enhance sedative effects. Consult a healthcare provider before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
