About L-Cin A Tablet

AMBROXOL+LEVOFLOXACIN belongs to a class of drugs called 'respiratory stimulants' (cough/sputum thinner) primarily used to treat acute (short term) and chronic (long term) respiratory diseases associated with excess mucus. Acute respiratory diseases are initially associated with dry, irritating cough, hoarseness in laryngitis (swelling of the voice box), or burning sensation in the chest due to bronchitis (swelling of the lining of bronchial tubes). Then, wet mucus forms, and continuous coughing out of sputum occurs. In chronic respiratory diseases, both dry irritating cough and wet cough with mucus occur.

AMBROXOL+LEVOFLOXACIN consists of two medicines: Ambroxol (dilutes viscous cough) and Levofloxacin (antibiotic). Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out

Medicinal Benefits of L-Cin A Tablet

AMBROXOL+LEVOFLOXACIN consists of two medicines, namely: Ambroxol (dilutes viscous cough) and Levofloxacin (antibiotic), belongs to a class of drugs called 'respiratory stimulants' primarily used to treat acute (short term) and chronic (long term) respiratory diseases associated with excess mucus. Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Levofloxacin comes into the category of antibiotic medicines that stop bacterial growth by inhibiting the two enzymes (bacterial topoisomerase IV and DNA gyrase) required for bacterial cell growth. As a result, bacterial cells are not able to reproduce and grow. It is a bacteriostatic antibiotic, i.e., it stops bacteria's growth but does not necessarily kill them. The addition of ambroxol enhances the antibacterial effect of levofloxacin.
