Benefits of Mucobron Capsule

In Respiratory tract infection

Respiratory tract infections are those infections that can affect the sinuses, throat, airways or lungs. Mucobron 250 mg/150 mg Capsule contains two different medicines, Amoxycillin and Carbocisteine, that work together to kill the bacteria that cause respiratory tract infections. Amoxycillin works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Carbocisteine helps to loosen thick mucus, making it easier to cough out. This makes it easier for air to move in and out.
