What info can you give me about fluibron syrup, the pharmacist prescribed it for phlegm and cough without info on the dosage or period to be taken

Dr. Nemer Charafeddine Obstetrics & Gynecology
the problem we are facing in lebanon is that the pharmacist is behaving as if he/she is a doctor or more than a doctor...
it depends if you have fever associated or not.. i prefer to consult your doctor before taking any medication.
fluibron is AMBROXOL, a mucolytic, so it will not act directly on suppressing cough..

You should read the insert, it has detailed instructions on the dosage and duration of use. My advice to you is not to rely solely on this medication to help loosen the secretions. Drink plenty of fluids, and get exposed to water vapor my filling out the bathtub with hot water then going into the bathroom for about 15 minutes. If you still have questions I'd be happy to help.
