Mucolytic agent.
Pharmacodynamics
Mucolytic agent, stimulates prenatal lung development (increases synthesis, secretion of surfactant and blocks its breakdown). It has a secretomotor, secretolytic and expectorant effect: stimulates serous cells of the glands of the bronchial mucosa, increases the content of mucous secretions and the release of surfactant (surfactant) in the alveoli and bronchi; normalizes the disturbed ratio of serous and mucous components of sputum. By activating hydrolyzing enzymes, and enhancing the release of lysosomes from Clara cells, it reduces the viscosity of sputum. Increases the motor activity of the ciliated epithelium, increases mucociliary transport.
After oral administration, the action occurs after 30 minutes, and lasts for 6-12 hours. Absorption is high (for any route of administration). The time to reach the maximum concentration is 2 hours, the connection with plasma proteins is 80%. Penetrates through the blood-brain barrier, placental barrier, excreted in breast milk. Metabolism - in the liver, forms dibromantranilic acid and glucuronic conjugates. The half-life is 7-12 hours. It is excreted by the kidneys: 90% in the form of water-soluble metabolites, unchanged - 5%. The half-life increases with severe chronic renal failure, does not change with impaired liver function.
Diseases of the bronchopulmonary system, accompanied by the formation of difficult sputum: acute and chronic bronchitis, tracheitis, laryngitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumonia, bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis.
Treatment and prevention of respiratory distress syndrome.
Hypersensitivity to any component of the drug, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, in the form of tablets for children under 6 years of age.

The duration of treatment is selected individually, depending on the course of the disease.
Special instructions and precautions
Care must be taken when prescribing to patients with renal or hepatic impairment.
It should be used with caution in patients with a weakened cough reflex or impaired mucociliary transport due to the possibility of sputum accumulation.
It should not be taken simultaneously with antitussive drugs that can inhibit the cough reflex, for example, with codeine, as this can make it difficult to remove the liquefied sputum from the bronchial tree.
Application during pregnancy and during breastfeeding
Application during pregnancy is possible only in cases where the intended benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.
If necessary, use during lactation should stop breastfeeding.
Interaction with other medicinal products
The combined use of ambroxol hydrochloride with atropine and other drugs with anticholinergic effects, such as amantadine, tricyclic antidepressants, haloperidol, histamine H1 receptor blockers, and procainamide, excluding ipratropium, suppressing the activity of the ciliated epithelium and reducing mucociliary clearance, can lead to mucociliary secretion.
The use of antitussive drugs with increased doses leads to the suppression of the cough reflex, therefore, it becomes difficult to remove bronchial secretions, which are formed in large quantities under the influence of ambroxol hydrochloride.
From the digestive system: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.
Allergic reactions: skin rash, itching, urticaria, angioedema.
With prolonged use - gastralgia, nausea, vomiting, intense headaches, decreased blood pressure, shortness of breath, hyperthermia, chills.
