Benefits of Moxbro Kid Tablet for your child
In Treatment of Respiratory tract infection
Respiratory tract infections are those infections that can affect the sinuses, throat, airways, or lungs. Moxbro Kid Tablet is used in children for the treatment of a variety of respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia, lung abscess, acute and chronic bronchitis, and sinusitis. Moxbro Kid Tablet contains two different medicines, Amoxycillin and Bromhexine, that work together to kill the bacteria that cause respiratory tract infections.
Amoxycillin helps in stopping the growth of bacteria. Bromhexine helps to loosen thick mucus, making it easier to cough out. This makes it easier for air to move in and out. This medicine may help your child feel better within a few days, but you should continue giving it as prescribed to make sure that all bacteria are killed and do not become resistant.
