General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Ambrolite S contains Ambroxol and Salbutamol. Ambroxol would help to liquefy mucous as it is a mucolytic agent. Salbutamol helps in easy breathing as it is a bronchodilator.
Sinarest contains Chlorpheniramine maleate and Phenylephrine. It has anti-allergic and decongestant action. It does not have liquification of mucous action.
Kindly consult Physician in this regard if the medications what you are taking are not giving you proper relief, so that appropriate medications can be changed to.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
