PHARMACOLOGY
Ambroxol is a metabolite of bromhexine. It possesses mucolytic and secretolytic properties. Ambroxol stimulates the serous cells of the glands of the mucus membrane of bronchi, increasing the content of mucus secretion. The mucolytic effect is associated with depolymerization and splitting of mucoproteins & mucopolysaccharide fibers, which leads to reduction in the viscosity of mucus.
