Mucosolvan Liquid 100ml is an effective mucolytic cough syrup used to treat chesty (productive) coughs by thinning and loosening sticky mucus in the respiratory tract. Its active ingredient is Ambroxol Hydrochloride, which stimulates fluid secretion and improves mucus transport, making phlegm easier to cough up.
