Ambroxol hydrochloride helps stimulate the motor activity of cilia of ciliated epithelium that are on bronchial mucosa. As a result of peristaltic contraction of the spiral from the bronchial tree, all accumulated mucus is excreted. The active substance of this drug significantly improves mucociliary transport.

It should also be noted that ambroxol hydrochloride is able to stimulate the glandular cells (serous) of the bronchial mucosa, increase the sputum mucosal content, and normalize the disturbed ratio of these components.

Strengthening the release of lysosomes from the so-called Clara cells and activating the hydrolyzing enzymes, the Bronhorus drug reduces the viscosity of sputum and also reduces its adhesive properties. In other words, it produces a mucolytic or secretolytic effect.
