How it works
Amrox Syrup contains three active medicines. Each ingredient present in this medicine plays a pivotal role. Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that decreases the stickiness of the mucus and helps in its removal from the airways. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator that relaxes and widens the muscles in the airways.
Quick Tips
Amrox Syrup may make your child feel sleepy. Advise your child to be cautious when taking part in physical activities. Do not share your child's medicines with other children, even if they show similar symptoms. Stop Amrox Syrup and immediately report to the doctor if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties. Practice self-care tips: clean and disinfect surfaces after sneezing and coughing, give your child plenty of fluids, restrain your child from having caffeinated products and foods that are spicy and fried, make your child gargle with warm saltwater, and ensure your child takes enough rest.

Frequently asked questions
My child has a cough with no mucus. Can I give Amrox Syrup?
Amrox Syrup is intended for treating dry coughs. It helps loosen phlegm and clear the airways, providing relief from throat irritation, congestion, and promoting comfort. For a wet cough, other medications such as expectorants may be more suitable. Please consult your child's doctor before administering any medication to them.
What if my child takes too much Amrox Syrup?
Overdose or prolonged use of Amrox Syrup can cause serious side effects like seizures, rapid heart rate, and excessive salivation. Always administer this medication according to the prescribed dosage, timing, and method. Abruptly stopping medication may worsen your child's condition. Consult a healthcare professional for guidance.
My child has a severe cough. Can I give him two cough medicines together?
Do not administer multiple cough or cold medications simultaneously unless directed by your child's doctor. Seek clarification from your doctor if unsure about administering medication to your child.
Can I give my cough medicine to my child?
Never give a child medication intended for adults. Always administer medications formulated specifically for children. Double-check the label before giving any medicine to your child and follow the prescribed dose precisely.
How should Amrox Syrup be stored?
Amrox Syrup should be stored at room temperature, in a dry, cool location, away from direct sunlight or heat. Keep all medications out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
