How It Works

Ambroxol increases mucus clearance by stimulating surfactant production and reducing mucus viscosity; Levosalbutamol selectively stimulates beta-2 adrenergic receptors, causing bronchodilation.

Mechanism Steps

1Ambroxol stimulates type II pneumocytes to increase surfactant production.
2Ambroxol reduces mucus viscosity by breaking disulfide bonds in mucoproteins.
3Levosalbutamol binds to beta-2 adrenergic receptors on bronchial smooth muscle.
