Each tablet contains Ambroxol Hydrochloride 30 mg.
Ambroxol, a metabolite of bromhexine, is a mucolytic agent capable of increasing sputum volume and reducing its viscosity, improving breathing and reducing cough with no influence on gastric acid sceretion.
Pharmacology: Shinoxol Tablet is a "mucus-modifier". Its active compound is Ambroxol. Several human studies showed that Ambroxol affects the secretomotor activity of serous glands, facilitates the repair of bronchial epithelium, and accelerates mucociliary transport and clearance.
Ambroxol, a metabolite of Bromhexine, has been found to stimulate the synthesis of lung surfactant, as the surfactant may play a role in airway mucus transport acting as a lubricant.
In several studies, Ambroxol also produced statistically significant symptomatic improvement, measured as difficulty in expectoration, coughing, presence of dyspnea and the auscultatory sign as compared to controls.
Absorption after oral administration of Ambroxol was found to be fast and complete. Elimination half-life in the blood was estimated as 20-25 hours in man. In man and rabbit, radioactive-labelled substance was excreted almost completely into the urine.
Mucolytic agent used in the treatment of respiratory tract disorders associated with viscid mucus.
