About Lortniwel AM 60mg/5mg Tablet

Lortniwel AM 60mg/5mg Tablet is a combination drug containing 'mucolytic agents' (cough/sputum thinner) primarily used to treat cough. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. 

Lortniwel AM 60mg/5mg Tablet contains Ambroxol and Loratadine. Ambroxol works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. It also breaks down the acid mucopolysaccharide fibres that make the mucous (sputum) thinner and less dense/viscous, removing sputum efficiently by coughing. However, the viscosity of sputum remains low for as long as treatment is maintained. Loratadine acts by blocking histamine's action (chemicals causing allergic symptoms) and reducing the allergic reaction. It provides quick relief from allergic symptoms.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Cough: Coughing is a body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Coughs may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings up sputum (phlegm, mucus, and other matter) from the lungs. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection but coughing up mucus is possibly an indication of infection in the respiratory tract. If you are coughing thick, solid white mucus, it indicates you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. If the mucus is clear or light-colored, it indicates you may have allergies or minor infections in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
