Properties

Mucolytic and expectorant agent, is an active N-demethylated metabolite of bromhexine. It has a secretory, secretolytic and expectorant effect. Stimulates 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 airway lumen.

Ambroxol increases the proportion of the serous component in the bronchial secretion, improving its structure and helping to redu the viscosity and thinning of sputum; as a result of this, mucociliary transport is improved

and the excretion of sputum from the bronchial tree is facilitated.
