AMBROXOL

AMBROXOL
AMBROXOL HYDROCHLORIDE

AMBROXOL is a mucolytic expectorant. Ambroxol is an active metabolite of bromhexine and acts to reduce the viscosity of tenacious mucus secretions by fragmentation of long mucopolysaccharide chains, resulting in a productive cough which aids expectoration of liquefied mucoid respiratory secretions, and assists in clearing and maintaining patent bronchioles and alveoli, hence reducing dysponea.

AMBROXOL enhances the concentrations of chemotherapeutic agents in bronchial secretions to result in a more rapid recovery.

氨溴索主要用于治疗支气管炎，对上呼吸道，急性和慢性支气管肺炎，慢性鼻炎有疗效，也用于病毒感染后的咳嗽。对马和狗的子宫感染、眼部感染也有疗效。
