Medicine Description mucofar 15mg
Mucofar 15mg Syrup is a medication that combines ambroxol and guaifenesin to enhance respiratory function. Ambroxol acts as a mucolytic agent, breaking down and thinning mucus in the airways, facilitating easier expectoration. It stimulates the production of surfactant in the lungs, promoting better alveolar function. Guaifenesin, an expectorant, helps to increase the volume and reduce the viscosity of secretions in the respiratory tract, making it easier to cough out phlegm. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to alleviate cough, clear airways, and improve overall respiratory efficiency.
