Medicine Description mucosin 7.5mg
Mucosin 7.5mg Drops is a medication that combines ambroxol and phenylephrine to enhance respiratory function. Ambroxol acts as a mucolytic agent by breaking down the structure of mucus, making it less viscous and easier to expel. It achieves this by depolymerizing mucopolysaccharides and stimulating the secretion of mucus from bronchial glands. Moreover, ambroxol exhibits antioxidant properties that help protect lung tissue from oxidative damage. On the other hand, phenylephrine serves as a sympathomimetic agent, primarily acting as a nasal decongestant. It constricts blood vessels in the nasal passages, leading to reduced swelling and congestion, which facilitates easier breathing.
