No it is not antibiotic. Ambroxol is a drug primarily used to cure respiratory diseases. It clears the respiratory tract and breaks up the phlegm. It aids in the release of surfactant which in turn prevents the mucus from sticking to the bronchial wall. It also shields one from various irritating agents and infections. Ambroxol is an active ingredient in cough syrups which facilitates easy breathing in case of clogging up of the nasal cavity.
