Многолетний опыт применения амброксола основан на его возможности регулировать базовые механизмы физиологической продукции и транспорта бронхиальной слизи. Основным показанием для амброксола является муколитическая терапия острых и хронических бронхолегочных заболеваний, ассоциированных с гиперсекрецией и нарушением транспорта слизи. Амброксол обладает рядом следующих свойств: высокая секретолитическая активность (способствует клиренсу слизи, облегчает отхаркивание мокроты, уменьшает продуктивный кашель); противовоспалительная и антиоксидантная активность; локальный обезболивающий (анестетический) эффект посредством блокады натриевых каналов клеточных мембран. Эффект анестезии слизистых оболочек относят к новому фармакологическому действию амброксола, полезному в терапии острых инфекций дыхательных путей. Эффективность и безопасность применения амброксола в клинической практике подтверждена полувековым опытом его назначения. Целью настоящей публикации явилась актуальная оценка спорных и бесспорных химических, фармакологических, клинических данных о свойствах амброксола в концепции современной «восстановительной муколитической терапии», способной улучшить терапию и прогноз пациентов, имеющих гиперсекрецию трахеобронхиального секрета, нарушения мукоцилиарного клиренса и непродуктивный кашель.
Many years of experience in the use of ambroxol is based on its ability to regulate the basic mechanisms of physiological production and transport of bronchial mucus. The main indication for ambroxol is the mucolytic therapy of acute and chronic bronchopulmonary diseases associated with hypersecretion and impaired mucus transport. Ambroxol has a number of the following properties: high secretolytic activity (promotes mucus clearance, facilitates expectoration of sputum, reduces productive cough); anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity; local analgesic (anesthetic) effect through the blockade of sodium channels of cell membranes. The effect of anesthesia of the mucous membranes is attributed to the new pharmacological action of ambroxol, useful in the treatment of acute respiratory tract infections. The efficacy and safety of ambroxol in clinical practice has been confirmed by half a century of experience in its administration. The purpose of this publication was an up-to-date assessment of the controversial and indisputable chemical, pharmacological, clinical data on the properties of ambroxol in the concept of modern “recovery mucolytic therapy” that can improve the therapy and prognosis of patients with tracheobronchial secretion hypersecretion, impaired mucociliary clearance and unproductive cough.
