Product Description
Ambroxol is used for the treatment respiratory diseases and is a secretolytic agent. It is used for the treatment of visid or excessive mucus and is a mucoactive agent. It also produces secretolytic and secretomotoric actions which causes the clearance of respiratory tract and also produces body defense mechanism.
Terbutaline is a beta-adrenergic receptor agonist and used for the treatment of asthma symptoms.
Guaifenesin is an expectorant and helps in relieving congestion in chest and throat

- Bronchitis
Mechanism of action
Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent. It inhibits the NO dependent activation of soluble guanylate cyclase which can suppress excessive mucus secretion. It also suppresses phlegm viscosity and improves the mucocilary transport of bronchial secretions.
Terbutaline causes stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors of adenyl-cyclase. It catalyses the conversion of ATP to c-AMP and c AMP levels are associated with relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle.
Guaiphenesin reduces the viscosity of secretion and act as an expectorant in trachea and bronchi. It aids the flow of respiratory tract secretion, loosened the mucus secretion.
