Ambroxol + Terbutaline is a combination used to treat respiratory conditions.
Ambroxol belongs to the category of mucolytics. It works by breaking down and liquefying thick, sticky mucus in your lungs, making it easier to cough up. This process is achieved by reducing the long chains in the mucus molecules into shorter ones, thus decreasing mucus viscosity.
Terbutaline is a bronchodilator, specifically called a beta-2 agonist. It functions by relaxing and opening the airways in the lungs, making breathing easier. It achieves this by stimulating beta-2 receptors in the lungs, which leads to relaxation of bronchial smooth muscles. The combined action of these two components effectively aids in reducing congestion and improving respiration, particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from respiratory disorders associated with excessive mucus production.
