How does this medication work?
Ambroxol is an agent that causes diffusion of thick mucus. Uncontrolled quantity of nitric oxide (NO) is related to inflammation and other kinds of disruptions of the functioning of the airways. Ambroxol inhibits the activation of guanylate cyclase which is nitric oxide dependent. Terbutaline causes pharmacological effects. This is assigned to stimulation via beta-adrenergic receptors of the intracellular adenyl cyclase. The intracellular adenyl cyclase enzyme causes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate into adenosine monophosphate. Guaifenesin is an expectorant which reduces adhesiveness and surface tension of congealed mucus in the upper respiratory tract to increase the flow of mucus, stimulating and increasing efficiency of the cilia to remove the accumulated mucus.
