Pharmacological properties Pulmobriz
Ambroxol hydrochloride has a pronounced expectorant, mucolytic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant and slight antitussive effect. It stimulates serous cells of the glands of the bronchial mucosa, increases the amount of serous secretion and thus changes the disturbed ratio of serous and mucous components. This leads to the normalization of the rheological parameters of sputum, reducing its viscosity and adhesive properties. Directly stimulates the motor activity of the ciliated epithelium of the bronchi, prevents its adhesion and improves mucociliary evacuation of sputum. Ambroxol increases the content of surfactant in the lungs by direct action on type II pneumocytes in the alveoli and on Clara cells in the bronchioles, and also prevents its destruction in pneumocytes. Ambroxol does not cause bronchial obstruction, but, on the contrary, improves the function of external respiration. It has been proven that ambroxol reduces the hyperreactivity of bronchial muscles in patients with asthma.
The local anesthetic effect of Ambroxol hydrochloride was observed in a rabbit eye model, which may be explained by the sodium channel blocking properties. In vitro studies have shown that ambroxol hydrochloride blocks neuronal sodium channels; binding was reversible and concentration dependent.
Ambroxol has an anti-inflammatory effect, which was found in vitro, antioxidant properties, stimulates local immunity and renewal of the natural surfactant layer. When taking ambroxol, patients’ complaints of cough and phlegm are significantly reduced in accordance with the intensity of treatment.
As a result of clinical trials involving patients with pharyngitis, a significant reduction in pain and redness in the throat with the use of ambroxol hydrochloride has been proven.
Pharmacological properties to rapidly relieve pain in the treatment of upper respiratory tract diseases have been observed in studies of the clinical efficacy of inhaled forms of ambroxol.
Acetylcysteine ​​is a mucolytic and expectorant active ingredient. Due to the free sulfhydryl group, it breaks the bisulfide bonds of mucopolysaccharides of sputum, which leads to a decrease in the viscosity of bronchial secretions. Increases mucociliary clearance. It has an antioxidant effect due to its ability to bind free radicals. Increases the synthesis of glutathione, which is an important factor in detoxification; due to this property, acetylcysteine ​​is used to treat acute poisoning with paracetamol, phenols, aldehydes and other substances.

Indications Pulmobriz 
Treatment of acute and chronic diseases of the respiratory tract, accompanied by impaired bronchial secretion and evacuation of secretions: including in acute and chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, pneumonia, bronchiectasis, bronchial asthma, cystic fibrosis, laryngitis, tracheitis.

Contraindications:

• Hypersensitivity to ambroxol, acetylcysteine ​​or other components of the drug.
• Peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum in the acute stage.
• Hemoptysis, pulmonary hemorrhage, severe exacerbation of bronchial asthma.

Application during pregnancy or lactation
Pregnancy
The drug is not recommended for use in the first trimester of pregnancy.
There is no relevant data on the teratogenic effect of ambroxol hydrochloride and acetylcysteine ​​on the fetus, therefore, it is possible to use the drug in the II-III trimesters of pregnancy only if the expected benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.
Lactation
Since ambroxol hydrochloride and acetylcysteine ​​pass into breast milk, it is undesirable to take the drug during breastfeeding. If necessary, the appointment of the drug should stop breastfeeding.
Fertility
There is no evidence of harmful effects on fertility.

Side effects:

• From the immune system: hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylactic reactions, anaphylactic shock and angioedema.
• Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: itching, urticaria, rash, eczema; severe skin lesions (erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (Lyell’s syndrome), acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis).
• From the gastrointestinal tract: nausea, decreased sensitivity in the mouth, heartburn, vomiting, diarrhea, dyspepsia, abdominal pain, dry mouth, dry throat, stomatitis, bad breath, salivation.
