People with reduced kidney and liver function during treatment should be under the supervision of specialists who are ready to provide timely assistance if necessary.

Excretion occurs through the kidneys 90% in the form of metabolites and 10% in the form of unchanged ambroxol. Pharmacodynamics Ambrobene® normalizes altered bronchopulmonary secretion, improves the rheological parameters of sputum, reducing its viscosity, and facilitates the removal of sputum from the bronchi. Ambrobene® promotes the activation of the surfactant system through a direct effect on type 2 pneumocytes in the alveoli and Clara cells, stimulates the formation and excretion of surface active material (surfactant) in the alveolar and bronchial region of the embryonic and adult lungs. In addition, the antioxidant effects of ambroxol have been established. After using Ambrobene®, the concentration of antibiotics in sputum and bronchial secretions increases. Indications for use Ambrobene® is used for the purpose of secretolytic therapy for acute and chronic bronchopulmonary diseases in which the production and expectoration of sputum is impaired: - acute and chronic bronchitis, pneumonia - bronchial asthma with difficulty in sputum discharge - bronchiectasis. Method of administration and dosage Ambrobene® solution for oral administration and inhalation is dosed using the supplied dosage cup.

Taking multiple drugs at the same time

Antibacterial therapy, supplemented with Ambrobene, increases the concentration of antibacterial substances in secreted sputum.

The simultaneous use of Ambrobene with antitussives is strictly contraindicated. The liquid sputum produced should immediately leave the lungs and bronchi, thanks to the cough reflex. By suppressing a cough with means such as Sinekod, the patient dooms himself to the development of pneumonia associated with stagnation of mucus from the lungs, where a favorable environment is formed for the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria.

Pharmacological properties of the drug Ambrobene

Mucolytic drug. It has a bronchosecretolytic and secretomotor (expectorant) effect. Ambrobene normalizes impaired bronchopulmonary secretion, improves the rheological parameters of sputum, reduces its viscosity and facilitates discharge from the bronchi. After oral administration, Ambrobene is almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The action begins after 30 minutes and lasts for 6–12 hours. Metabolized in the liver. The half-life is 8–10 hours. About 90% of the drug is excreted in the urine.
