Mechanism of action

Ambrobene is a mucolytic and expectorant drug.
Ambroxol - the active metabolite of Bromhexine improves the rheological properties of sputum, reduces its viscosity and adhesive properties, contributing to its removal from the respiratory tract.
Ambroxol stimulates the activity of serous cells of the glands of the bronchial membrane, the production of enzymes that break down the bonds between sputum polysaccharides, the formation of surfactant and the activity of the cilia of the bronchi directly, preventing them from sticking together.
After ingestion, the therapeutic effect occurs after 30 minutes and lasts for 6-12 hours (depending on the dose taken).

Indications and usage

For diseases of the respiratory tract with the release of viscous sputum and the difficulty of its discharge:
Acute and chronic bronchitis.
Pneumonia.
Bronchial asthma.
Bronchiectasis.

With extreme caution and only under the supervision of a physician, Ambrobene should be used in violation of the motility of the bronchi and large volumes of secreted secretion in order to avoid the danger of a congestion of the secretion in the bronchi.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Since so far there are no reliable data on the negative effects of ambroxol on the fetus and newborn, it is possible to use Ambrobene during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester, and during breastfeeding only in the case when the intended benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.

Inhalation should be carried out in the mode of normal breathing, so as not to provoke cough tremors.
In patients with bronchial asthma, in order to avoid non-specific irritation of the respiratory tract and their spasm, bronchodilators should be used before inhalation of ambroxol.
Children under the age of 2 years inhale 1 ml of solution 1-2 times / day. (7.5-15 mg / day.).
