BRONEX EXPECTORANT 60ML

BRONEX EXPECTORANT 60ML is a medication containing the active ingredient Ammonium Chloride. It is formulated as an oral expectorant solution used for the relief of cough associated with respiratory conditions. Ammonium Chloride works by thinning and loosening mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and expel from the lungs.

Uses:

BRONEX EXPECTORANT 60ML is primarily used for the following purposes:

1. Cough Relief: It helps alleviate cough by promoting the expulsion of mucus from the respiratory tract. This is particularly useful in conditions such as bronchitis, pneumonia, or other respiratory infections where excessive mucus production is present.
2. Mucus Clearance: Ammonium Chloride aids in thinning and liquefying thick and sticky mucus, making it easier to clear from the airways through coughing.

Side Effects:

While BRONEX EXPECTORANT 60ML is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, including:

1. Gastrointestinal Upset: Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, or stomach discomfort. Taking the medication with food or a glass of water may help minimize these side effects.
2. Allergic Reactions: Rarely, individuals may experience allergic reactions such as skin rash, itching, or swelling of the face, lips, or tongue. Seek medical attention if any signs of an allergic reaction occur.
3. Metabolic Acidosis: Prolonged use of Ammonium Chloride may lead to metabolic acidosis, particularly in individuals with impaired kidney function or electrolyte imbalances.

It is important to seek medical advice if any severe or persistent side effects are experienced.

Precautions:

Before using BRONEX EXPECTORANT 60ML, consider the following precautions:

1. Medical History: Inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, especially kidney disease, liver disease, or electrolyte imbalances.
2. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: BRONEX EXPECTORANT should be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding only if recommended by a healthcare professional. Discuss the potential risks and benefits with your doctor.
3. Drug Interactions: Ammonium Chloride may interact with certain medications, including potassium-sparing diuretics or medications containing sodium bicarbonate. Consult your doctor or pharmacist before combining medications.

When Not to Use:

Avoid using BRONEX EXPECTORANT 60ML if:

1. Allergic Reaction: You have a known allergy to Ammonium Chloride or any other ingredients in the expectorant solution.
2. Severe Renal Impairment: Individuals with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/min) should avoid using Ammonium Chloride due to the risk of metabolic acidosis.
