Pharmacodynamics

Codelac Broncho is a cough medicine. It has mucolytic, expectorant and anti-inflammatory activity. The mechanism of its action is due to the pharmacological properties of the active components of the composition:
    sodium bicarbonate: promotes the alkalization of bronchial mucus, a decrease in sputum viscosity, stimulates the motor function of bronchioles and ciliated epithelium;
    glycyrrhizic acid and its salts (glycyrrhite): have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anti-allergic effects. The antioxidant and membrane stabilizing activity of glycyrrate gives the drug a cytoprotective effect. Pronounced anti-inflammatory activity reduces the inflammatory process in the airways, potentiates the action of endogenous glucocorticosteroids;
    Ambroxol: has a secretory, secretolytic and expectorant effect, restores the ratio of mucous and serous contents of sputum, increases the secretion of surfactant in the alveoli. Reducing viscosity, promotes sputum discharge;
    thermopsis extract: has an expectorant effect. Causing moderate irritation of the receptors of the gastric mucosa, reflexively increases the secretion of bronchial glands.
