✔️ Pharmacology

Ambroxol is a potent bronchial secretion agent and is the active metabolite of bromhexine. Ambroxol is found to be more effective in loosening sputum from the respiratory tract than bromhexine. The drug hydrates the mucus lining in the respiratory tract, which in turn enhances the fluidity and clearance of mucus through coughing, thereby alleviating respiratory difficulties. It also promotes the production of surfactant phospholipids by alveolar cells, which aids in reducing alveolar surface tension and consequently decreases breathing resistance. Ambroxol can also diminish bronchial hyperactivity. Apart from its mucolytic effects, Ambroxol has anti-inflammatory properties due to its ability to inhibit the production of cytokines and arachidonic acid metabolites. In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Ambroxol has been reported to improve airway patency.
