Below are some of our market-leading brands:
Amuco 600
Amuco 600 is a mucolytic that breaks up the mucus/phlegm in sinuses and airways, making it thin and watery so that it is easier for the body to remove. This medication can be used in the treatment of severe airway conditions e.g., colds, flu, bronchitis, or even certain allergies, that cause the increased production of mucus/phlegm. The active ingredient in Amuco 600 is also an antioxidant that can help detoxify harmful chemicals in the body.
