N-Nitroso Ambroxol is a nitrosamine impurity that can form in ambroxol, a medicine used to treat respiratory conditions with mucus buildup. Because nitrosamines are potentially carcinogenic, the presence of N-nitroso ambroxol is strictly controlled, and manufacturers test and limit its levels to ensure patient safety.
