Ambroxol + Cefixime + Lactobacillus is a combination medicine used in the management of respiratory infections.
Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent. It works by breaking down and thinning the thick mucus, which helps in clearing it from the respiratory tract. This aids in easier breathing. Additionally, it has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties contributing to its therapeutic effects.
Cefixime is an antibiotic belonging to the class of cephalosporins. It acts by inhibiting the bacterial cell wall synthesis, thereby causing the death of the bacteria. This helps in fighting against a wide range of bacterial infections.
Lactobacillus is a probiotic. It helps restore and maintain the balance of good bacteria in the gut, especially during or after antibiotic treatment to prevent gastrointestinal issues like diarrhoea.
