Properties

Mucolytic and expectorant, is an active N-demethylated metabolite of bromhexine. It has a secretomotor, secretolytic and expectorant action. Stimulates the serous cells of the bronchial mucosa, increases the motor activity of the ciliated epithelium by acting on type 2 pneumocytes in the alveoli and Clara cells in the bronchioles, enhances the formation of endogenous surfactant — a surfactant that ensures the sliding of bronchial secretions in the lumen of the respiratory tract.

Ambroxol increases the proportion of the serous component in the bronchial secretion, improving its structure and helping to reduce the viscosity and thin the sputum; as a result of this, mucociliary transport improves and the removal of sputum from the bronchial tree is facilitated.

When taking Ambroxol orally, the effect, on average, occurs after 30 minutes and lasts 6-12 hours, depending on the single dose.

Indications

Diseases of the respiratory tract, accompanied by the release of viscous sputum and difficulty in expectoration of sputum: acute and chronic bronchitis; pneumonia; bronchial asthma; bronchiectasis; COPD

Dosage and administration

The duration of treatment is determined by the doctor individually and depends on the severity of the disease. If it is necessary to use the drug for more than 4-5 days, a doctor’s consultation is required.

Hypersensitivity to ambroxol or auxiliary components of drugs; I trimester of pregnancy; lactation period (breastfeeding).
