Doxycycline 100mg + Ambroxol 7.5mg Capsules

Product Introduction

Doxycycline 100mg + Ambroxol 7.5mg combines an antibiotic with a mucus-thinning medicine for susceptible bacterial respiratory infections accompanied by thick phlegm. It addresses the bacterial infection and difficulty clearing mucus through separate actions.

How to use

Swallow the capsule with a full glass of water and remain upright for at least 30 minutes. It can be taken with food if nausea occurs. Avoid taking it immediately before bed, and separate calcium, iron or antacids from the dose.

How it works

Doxycycline binds bacterial 30S ribosomes and inhibits protein synthesis. Ambroxol makes respiratory mucus less tenacious and supports its clearance.

Side effects

Nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, vomiting and increased sensitivity to sunlight may occur. Painful swallowing, severe persistent diarrhoea or a serious rash needs assessment.

Important information

Doxycycline can affect developing teeth and is generally avoided during pregnancy and in young children unless a specific indication outweighs that risk. Retinoids such as isotretinoin can increase intracranial-pressure risk.
