How Ambroxol + Cefadroxil works
Ambroxol + Cefadroxil is a combination of two medicines: Ambroxol and Cefadroxil. Ambroxol is an antibiotic. It kills bacteria by preventing them from forming their own protective covering which is required for their survival. Cefadroxil is a mucolytic which thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out.
Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Stopping it early may make the infection come back and harder to treat.
Discontinue Ambroxol + Cefadroxil and inform your doctor immediately if you get a rash, itchy skin, swelling of face and mouth, or have difficulty in breathing.
Avoid consuming alcohol while taking medication as it may cause increased side effects.
Diarrhea might occur as a side effect of a medicine. Drink plenty of fluids or inform your doctor if it bothers you.
Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.
