Ambroxol hydrochloride is a metabolite of Bromhexine hydrochloride. It is a mucolytic agent with property to increase respiratory tract secretions by reducing the viscosity of mucus. It enhances pulmonary surfactant production and stimulates ciliarys activity, resulting in improved mucus flow and transport. This enhancement of fluid secretion and mucociliary clearance facilitates expectoration and eases the cough.
