Cough AM Syrup contains three active medicines. Each ingredient present in this medicine plays a pivotal role. Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out.

Do not share your child’s medicines with other children, even if they show similar symptoms. Each child is different, and the dose and frequency of medicine depend upon factors like body weight, age, and clinical condition.
Stop Cough AM Syrup and immediately report to the doctor if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties.
