Ambroxol clears the bronchial tubes, windpipe and nose because it loosens the sputum or phlegm which is produced in the lungs.
Thus, it is useful in bringing up the phlegm easily. Guaiphenesin also makes more space in the airways filled with fluid, decreases the viscosity of the mucus and facilitates its coughing out of the airways. Together it also works to provide relief to the cough.
