• Respiratory tract infection

Respiratory tract infection
Respiratory tract infections are those infections that can affect the sinuses, throat, airways or lungs. Roxisole 150 mg/60 mg Tablet contains two different medicines, Roxithromycin and Ambroxol, that work together to kill the bacteria that cause respiratory tract infections. Roxithromycin works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Ambroxol helps to loosen thick mucus, making it easier to cough out. This makes it easier for air to move in and out. It also enhances the activity of Roxithromycin against bacteria.
It usually makes you feel better within a few days, but you should continue taking it as prescribed even when you feel better to make sure that all bacteria are killed and do not become resistant.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
