Clinico-pharmacological group: Mucolytic and expectorant drug.

Pharmacological action

Mucolytic preparations with expectorant effects. It has sekretomotornym, sekretoliticheskim and expectorant action.

Reducing the viscosity of sputum is due to depolymerization of mucopolysaccharides, which, in turn, is connected with the rupture of disulfide bonds in their molecules. Ambroxol increases the motor activity of the cilia of ciliated epithelium, increases mucociliary transport, normalizes the ratio of serous and mucous components of sputum. By activating the hydrolyzing enzymes and increasing the release of lysosomes from the cells of Clarke, ambroxole reduces the viscosity of sputum, facilitating its excretion from the respiratory tract.

As a result of chronic diseases of respiratory system changes the properties (due to the formation of bonds between surface-active phospholipids and inflammatory proteins) and decreases the synthesis of surfactant. Ambroxol stimulates the prenatal development of the lungs by increasing the synthesis and secretion of surfactant in the alveoli.

Step Ambrogeksala begins after 30 minutes and lasts 6-12 hours

Maximum therapeutic effect is manifested on day 3 of treatment.

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption

Once inside ambroxole quickly and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Tmax is 0.5-3 h. Bioavailability is about 80%.

Distribution

Linking to plasma proteins - 80-90%. Ambroxol penetrates through the BBB, placenta, excreted in breast milk.

Metabolism

The drug is metabolized in the liver to inactive metabolites (dibromantranilovoy acid, glucuronic conjugates).

Withdrawal

Write mainly in the urine - 90% as metabolites, 10% unchanged.

T1 / 2 from 7 to 12 pm In applying Ambrogeksala in capsule form prolonged action T1 / 2 ambroxol and metabolites from blood plasma - about 22 hours
