• gastrointestinal tract (dyspeptic disorders).

At the same time, similar symptoms developed only with prolonged or improper use of the drug.

In the main agent, negative reactions can develop from various systems and internal organs, including problems in the respiratory organs and tracts. The analogue of such reactions does not cause or causes in extremely rare cases, which is its main advantage when used in children. Both medicines have the same age restrictions. They must not be used in children under 6 years of age (for tablet form) and under 12 years of age (for other dosage forms).

Unlike the original drug, Lazolvan can be used for bronchial motility disorders and ulcerative lesions of the stomach and duodenum, which significantly increase the groups of patients who can use generic.

The action and effectiveness of both agents has been clinically proven. The drugs have been tested and have shown high therapeutic properties, so they can be replaced with each other if necessary. Both products are available over the counter without a doctor's prescription. AmbroGEXAL, analogs of which may have additional or other recommendations for use, can be prescribed for both children and adult patients.

Ambrogood

AmbroGEXAL (analogs of the drug can be produced in other dosage forms, which should be taken into account when choosing them) can be replaced by a more suitable drug for children, such as Ambrogud.
