What is the use of Roxithromycin and Ambroxol Tablets?

Medicine is an indispensable thing in life. Medicine can treat people's diseases in a targeted manner. Most drugs are chemically synthesized substances and have certain side effects on the body. Therefore, when taking drugs, you must understand some of the characteristics and pharmacological effects of the drugs, and at the same time conduct targeted research on their effects. For example, what is the use of erythromycin and ambroxol tablets? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

Roxithromycin and ambroxol dispersible tablets are used to treat the following diseases caused by sensitive microorganisms: acute bronchitis (bacterial), acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, bronchopneumonia, pneumonia due to typical pathogens, bacterial infection combined with bronchial asthma or bronchiectasis, sinusitis, and otitis media.
