Indications
Femex is used to treat a variety of respiratory tract conditions brought on by an abundance of mucus. It functions by making mucus in the lungs, windpipe, and nose thinner and looser so that it is easier to cough out. It is best to take Femex with food. It is advised to take it at the same time each day for best benefits. Depending on what you are using it for, you should adjust the dosage and frequency. How much improvement in your symptoms is required will be decided by your doctor. It is suggested against using it for longer than 14 days without consulting a doctor.
Pharmacology
Femex 100 ml is the active metabolite of bromhexine, and it has been shown that it has a higher bronchosecretolytic action than bromhexine. It improves sputum rheology by hydrating the mucus in the lumen of the respiratory tract, allowing for easier mucus expectoration and decreasing dyspnea. It increases the synthesis of surfactant phospholipids by alveolar cells, which contributes to the reduction of surface tension in the alveoli.It also helps to decrease bronchial hyperactivity. Because of its inhibitory impact on the synthesis of cellular cytokines and arachidonic acid metabolites, ambroxol possesses anti-inflammatory effects. It has historically been shown to enhance airway patency in COPD patients.
