Ambroxol has many interesting fringe applications.

It potentiates antibiotic effect in lung infections, including tuberculosis, treats painful hyperacusis, trigeminal neuralgia, neuropathic pain, parkinson, gaucher disease...

...and what's this? We have a surprise guest!

Ambroxol significantly reduces snoring and thus suddenly becomes a candidate for a medication half the population should take!

It's one of those drugs that deserves way bigger interest than it gets.



grain of salt with this because it's LLM and needs verification

but apparently the problem with ambroxol vs suzetrigine

is it is not as selective on the ion channel and not as strong (needs megadose to do similar)

I cannot remember the drugs offhand but this is the same problem with other old generics for other kinds of targets

suzetrigine won't be generic for years which is a shame


Too bad its generic I guess. The cynic in me says that's why it doesn't get the interest it deserves
