DESCRIPTION:

Ambroxol is the metabolite of bromhexine and a mucolytic agent. Ambroxol acts as secretolytic agent used in the treatment of respiratory diseases associated with viscid or excessive mucus. Cetirizine is a second-generation antihistamine used to treat allergies, hay fever, angioedema, and urticaria. It is a major metabolite of hydroxyzine and a racemic selective H1 receptor inverse agonist.

 

MECHANISM OF ACTION:

Ambroxol facilitates mucociliary clearance by intensifying the motion of the cilia present on the ciliated respiratory epithelium. Cetirizine competes with histamine for binding at H1-receptor sites on the effector cell surface, resulting in suppression of histaminic edema, flare, and pruritus. It crosses the blood-brain barrier only slightly, reducing the sedative side-effect common with older antihistamines.

 

INDICATIONS:

Indicated for symptomatic relief from dry cough occurring in patients with upper respiratory infections, smoker's cough, allergic cough, and in the prevention of cough in the immediate postoperative period.
