Basic Information

Mechanism Of Action

Ambroxol in the syrup causes an increase in the secretions of the respiratory tract. It helps in the loosening of thick mucus and facilitates its removal. Mucus is removed through coughing it out and thus improves cough and congestion.

Pharmacokinets

Bioavailability of ambroxol administered orally is approximately 70–80%. The distribution half-life of ambroxol is 1.3 hours, metabolite is dibromoanthranilic acid (activity unspecified) and Elimination of ambroxol is biphasic, with an alpha half-life of 1.3 hours and a beta half-life of 8.8 hours.

Salbutamol is metabolised almost exclusively by the liver, being converted to salbutamol 4'-O-sulfate. This is then excreted through urination and defecation. After oral inhalation, 80—100% of a dose is excreted via the kidney, whilst 10% may be eliminated in faeces.
