Pharmacodynamics
The active substance of Abrol® syrup – ambroxol hydrochloride – increases the proportion of the serous component of bronchial secretions. Ambroxol enhances the secretion of pulmonary surfactant by direct action on type II pneumocytes in the alveoli and Clara cells in the bronchioles, and also stimulates the activity of the cilia of the ciliary epithelium, resulting in a decrease in the viscosity of sputum and improves its excretion (mucociliary clearance). Improvement in mucociliary has been proven during clinical and pharmacological studies.
Increasing the secretion and reducing the viscosity of the secret and improving the mucociliary contribute to expectoration and facilitate expectoration of sputum.
Long-term use (6 months) of ambroxol hydrochloride (75 mg long-acting capsules) in patients with COPD resulted in a significant reduction in exacerbations after a two-month treatment period. In patients treated with ambroxol hydrochloride, the duration of illness and antibiotic therapy was significantly less. Compared with placebo, treatment with ambroxol hydrochloride, extended-release capsules, showed a statistically significant improvement in symptoms associated with expectoration problems, cough, dyspnea, and auscultatory signs.
The local anesthetic effect of ambroxol hydrochloride, which may be due to sodium channel blocking properties, was observed in a rabbit eye model.
In vitro studies have shown that ambroxol hydrochloride blocks neuronal sodium channels; binding was reversible and concentration dependent.
Ambroxol hydrochloride has been shown to be anti-inflammatory in vitro. Thus, ambroxol hydrochloride significantly reduces the release of cytokines from mononuclear and polymorphonuclear blood cells and tissues.
As a result of clinical trials involving patients with pharyngitis, a significant reduction in pain and redness in the throat was demonstrated when using the drug.
Due to the pharmacological properties of ambroxol, pain was quickly relieved in the treatment of diseases of the upper respiratory tract, which was observed in studies of the clinical efficacy of inhaled forms of ambroxol.
After the use of ambroxol hydrochloride, the concentrations of antibiotics (amoxicillin, cefuroxime, erythromycin and doxycycline) in bronchopulmonary secretions and sputum increase. At present, no clinical significance of this fact has been identified.
Indications
Secretolytic therapy for acute and chronic bronchopulmonary diseases associated with a violation of bronchial secretion and a weakening of the passage of mucus.
Contraindications
Abrol®, syrup, should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to ambroxol hydrochloride or other components of the drug.

Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

Application features
There have been reports of severe skin lesions: erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SSD) / toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (GGEP) associated with the use of ambroxol hydrochloride. If there are signs of progression of the skin rash (sometimes associated with the appearance of blisters or lesions of the mucous membrane), you should immediately stop treatment with ambroxol hydrochloride and seek medical help.
In violation of bronchial motility and increased secretion of mucus (for example, in such a rare disease as primary ciliary dyskinesia), the drug Abrol®, syrup, should be used with caution because of the risk of promoting the accumulation of secretions.
Patients with impaired renal function or severe hepatic insufficiency should take Abrol®, syrup, only after consulting a doctor. In patients with severe renal insufficiency, when using ambroxol, like any active substance that is metabolized in the liver and then excreted by the kidneys, the accumulation of metabolites formed in the liver is possible.
If you have known intolerance to some sugars, you should consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
