Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent with a pronounced expectorant effect, intended for the treatment of bronchitis and diseases of the upper respiratory tract.
Mucolytic agent, stimulates the prenatal development of the lungs (increases the synthesis, secretion of surfactant and blocks its decay).
Therapeutic effects:
    possesses secretomotor, secretolytic and expectorant action;
    stimulates the serous cells of the glands of the bronchial mucosa, increases the content of the mucous secretion and the release of surfactant (surfactant) in the alveoli and bronchi;
    normalizes the disturbed ratio of serous and mucous components of sputum.
Stimulates serous cells of the glands of the bronchial mucosa, increasing the content of the mucous secretion and, thus, changes the disturbed ratio of the serous and mucous components of sputum.
In this case, hydrolyzing enzymes are activated, and the release of lysosomes from Clara cells is enhanced, which leads to a decrease in the viscosity of sputum.
Ambroxol increases the content of surfactant in the lungs, which is associated with an increase in its synthesis and secretion in alveolar pneumocytes, as well as with a violation of its decay. Increases mucociliary sputum transport and slightly suppresses cough.
After the use of tablets or Ambroxol syrup, the drug begins to act after 30 minutes, maintaining its therapeutic effect for 9-10 hours.
