Ambroxol is a drug that breaks up phlegm, used in the treatment of respiratory diseases associated with viscid or excessive mucus. Ambroxol is often administered as an active ingredient in cough syrup.
Examples are carbocisteine, ambroxol, and bromhexine. Expectorants are substances claimed to make coughing easier while enhancing the production of mucus and phlegm. Two examples are acetylcysteine and guaifenesin. Antitussives, or cough suppressants, are substances which suppress the coughing itself.
Bromhexine is intended to support the body's mechanisms for clearing mucus from the respiratory tract.It is secretolytic, increasing the production of serous mucus in the respiratory tract, which makes the phlegm thinner and less viscous.
