Brontex 30mg – 20 Tablets for Acute & Chronic Cough and Bronchitis

What is Brontex 30mg? Ambroxol Hydrochloride Tablets for Acute and Chronic Bronchitis and Cough

Brontex 30mg tablets contain the active substance ambroxol hydrochloride and are used to loosen phlegm in cases of acute and chronic bronchopulmonary diseases accompanied by productive coughing.

Before Taking Brontex Tablets

Do not use Brontex if you:

• Are allergic to ambroxol or any other ingredient in this medicine
• Are under 6 years of age — due to the high active substance content, these tablets are not suitable for children under 6
• Have a renal function disorder or severe liver disease — caution must be exercised (administer with longer intervals or at a lower dose)

Drug Interactions

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you are taking. Concomitant use of ambroxol-containing medicines with antitussives can lead to dangerous bronchial mucus obstruction due to inhibition of the cough reflex. Increased absorption of the antibiotics amoxicillin, cefuroxime, doxycycline, and erythromycin into bronchial secretion has been reported with concomitant administration of ambroxol.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Insufficient data are available on the use of ambroxol in pregnant subjects, especially in the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. During pregnancy, particularly in the first three months, use should only be considered after carefully evaluating potential risks and benefits. Animals have shown excretion of ambroxol in milk, but there are insufficient data for humans. During breastfeeding, ambroxol should only be used under the recommendation of a doctor.

Driving and Using Machines

Ambroxol has no influence on the ability to drive and use machines.

Brontex Dosage

• Children aged 6–12 years: Half a tablet 2–3 times per day (30–45 mg ambroxol per day)
• Adults and children over 12 years: For the first 2–3 days, 1 tablet 3 times per day (90 mg/day); thereafter, 1 tablet twice per day (60 mg/day)

Up to 60 mg ambroxol hydrochloride twice per day (120 mg/day) may be taken if necessary, which can potentially increase the medicine’s effect. Take tablets after a meal. Drinking plenty of fluids helps facilitate the phlegm-loosening effect of ambroxol hydrochloride. In cases of severe renal function disorder, reduce the dose or extend the administration intervals.

Duration of Treatment

Using Brontex for longer than 4–5 days is not recommended unless prescribed by a doctor. If symptoms do not improve or worsen within 4–5 days, consult your doctor.

Storage

Keep out of the sight and reach of children. This medicine does not require any special storage conditions. Do not use after the expiry date stated on the carton.
