Indications & Uses

Ambozin SR is indicated for:

Pharmacology

Ambroxol is the active metabolite of bromhexine, and studies have shown it to have a stronger bronchosecretolytic effect than its parent compound. It improves sputum rheology through a hydrating action that thins mucus within the respiratory tract, making it easier to cough up and easing breathlessness. The drug stimulates alveolar cells to produce surfactant phospholipids, helping to lower surface tension within the alveoli, and it reduces bronchial hyperreactivity. Ambroxol also carries anti-inflammatory properties, working by suppressing the release of cellular cytokines and arachidonic acid metabolites. In patients with COPD, it has traditionally been used to improve airway patency.
