PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES: PHARMACODYNAMICS. Ambroxol (benzylamide group) refers to secretolytic and secretomotor drugs. It has expressed expectoration effect. Mechanism of drug action is due to the stimulation of serous adenocytes of bronchus mucous tunic, the increase of mucin content and the change of ratio of serous and mucous components of phlegm. Besides, hydrolyzing ferments are activated and the lysosome release of Clare' s cells is strengthened that leads to the decrease of phlegm viscosity. Ambroxol increases surfactants content in lungs due to increase in the synthesis of the last by alveolar pneumocytes. It and also decreases its disintegration. The drug increases a mucociliary phlegm transport. The cough is neutralized slowly.  Ambroxol easily crosses placental barrier improving surfactants synthesis during fetus intrauterine life, and also able to prevent the syndrome of insufficient respiration in infants. The drug doesnt cause an excessive secretion formation, decreases spastic bronchial hyperreactivity, one of the main developing factors of bronchial asthma during allergy.
