Ambozin

Ambroxol Hydrochloride
Syrup 15 mg/5 ml Allopathic Cough expectorants & mucolytics

Indications

Sore throat

Indication detailsView
This is indicated in-
  • Productive cough
  • Acute and chronic inflammatory disorders of upper and lower respiratory tracts associated with viscid mucus including acute and chronic bronchitis
  • Inflammatory disease of rhinopharyngeal tract (laryngitis, pharyngitis, sinusitis and rhinitis) associated with viscid mucus
  • Asthmatic bronchitis bronchial asthma with thick expectoration
  • Bronchiectasis
  • Chronic pneumonia etc.
Therapeutic classView
Cough expectorants & mucolytics
PharmacologyView
Ambroxol is the active metabolite of bromhexine and it has been proven that this metabolite possesses a greater bronchosecretolytic effect than bromhexine. It improves sputum rheology by hydrating mechanism leading to liquefaction of mucus in the lumen of respiratory tract, thus facilitating expectoration of mucus and reducing dyspnea. It stimulates production of phospholipids of surfactant by alveolar cells, thus contributing to the lowering of superficial tension in the alveoli. It also reduces bronchial hyperactivity. Ambroxol has anti inflammatory properties owing to the inhibitory effect on the production of cellular cytokines and arachidonic acid metabolites. In patients with COPD it traditionally improves airway patency.
DosageView
Average daily dose (preferably after meal):

Pediatric Drops:
  • 0-6 months: 0.5 ml 2 times a day
  • 6-12 months: 1 ml 2 times a day
  • 1-2 years: 1.25 ml 2 times a day
Syrup:
  • 2-5 years: 2.5 ml (1/2 teaspoonful) 2-3 times a day
  • 5-10 years: 5 ml (1 teaspoonful) 2-3 times a day
  • 10 years and adults: 10 ml (2 teaspoonful) 3 times a day.
Sustained release capsule: Adult and children over 12 years old: 1 capsule once daily.
Side effectsView
Gastrointestinal side effects like epigastric pain, stomach overfill feeling may occur occasionally. Rarely allergic responses such as eruption, urticaria or angioneurotic edema have been reported.
ContraindicationsView
Contraindicated in known hypersensitivity to Ambroxol or Bromhexine.
PrecautionsView
Ambroxol should be given cautiously to patients with gastric and duodenal ulceration or convulsive disorders. Patients with hepatic and renal insufficiency should take it with caution.
InteractionsView
Ambroxol should not be taken simultaneously with antitussives (e.g.Codeine) because phlegm, which has been liquefied by Ambroxol might not be expectorated.

Teratogenic and fetal toxicity studies have shown no harmful effect of Ambroxol. However, it is advised not to use it in pregnancy, especially during the1st trimester. Safety during lactation has not been established yet.
StorageView
Protect from direct light exposure, Store in a dry place at a temperature not exceeding 30°C, Keep out of the reach of children.

Ambrisan

Ambrisentan
Tablet 5 mg Allopathic Anti-hypertensive

Indications

Pulmonary arterial hypertension

Indication detailsView
Ambrisentan is indicated for the treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) (WHO Group 1) to improve exercise ability and delay clinical worsening.
Therapeutic classView
Anti-hypertensive, Endothelin receptor antagonist
PharmacologyView
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent autocrine and paracrine peptide. Two receptor subtypes, ETA and ETB, mediate the effects of ET-1 in the vascular smooth muscle and endothelium. The primary actions of ETA are vasoconstriction and cell proliferation, while the predominant actions of ETB are vasodilation, antiproliferation, and ET-1 clearance. Ambrisentan is a high-affinity ETA receptor antagonist with a high selectivity for the ETA versus ETB receptor (>4000-fold). The clinical impact of high selectivity for ETA is not known.

The pharmacokinetics of Ambrisentan (S-Ambrisentan) in healthy subjects are dose proportional. The absolute bioavailability of Ambrisentan is not known. Ambrisentan is absorbed with peak concentrations occurring approximately 2 hours after oral administration in healthy subjects and PAH patients. Food does not affect its bioavailability. In vitro studies indicate that Ambrisentan is a substrate of P-gp. Ambrisentan is highly bound to plasma proteins (99%). The elimination of Ambrisentan is predominantly by non-renal pathways, but the relative contributions of metabolism and biliary elimination have not been well characterized. In plasma, the AUC of 4-hydroxymethyl Ambrisentan accounts for approximately 4% relative to parent Ambrisentan AUC. Thein vivo inversion of S-Ambrisentan to R-Ambrisentan is negligible. The mean oral clearance of Ambrisentan is 38 mL/min and 19 mL/min in healthy subjects and in PAH patients, respectively. Although Ambrisentan has a 15-hour terminal half-life, the mean trough concentration of Ambrisentan at steady-state is about 15% of the mean peak concentration and the accumulation factor is about 1.2 after long-term daily dosing, indicating that the effective half-life of Ambrisentan is about 9 hours.
DosageView
Adult dose: Initial treatment is 5 mg once daily, and can be increased to 10 mg once daily if 5 mg is tolerated. Ambrisentan may be administered with or without food.

Pediatric patients: The safety and effectiveness of Ambrisentan in pediatric patients have not been established.
Side effectsView
Decreases in hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit have followed administration of other endothelin receptor antagonists and were observed in clinical studies with Ambrisentan
ContraindicationsView
Ambrisentan may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Ambrisentan is contraindicated in women who are or may become pregnant. If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to a fetus. Pregnancy must be excluded before the initiation of treatment with Ambrisentan and prevented during treatment and for one month after stopping treatment. Ambrisentan is contraindicated in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) including IPF patients with pulmonary hypertension (WHO Group 3).
PrecautionsView
Fluid Retention: Peripheral edema is a known class effect of endothelin receptor antagonists, and is also a clinical consequence of PAH and worsening PAH.

Pulmonary Veno-occlusive Disease: If patients develop acute pulmonary edema during initiation of therapy with vasodilating agents such as Ambrisentan, the possibility of pulmonary veno-occlusive disease should be considered, and if con_rmed. Ambrisentan should be discontinued.

Hematological Changes: Decreases in hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit have followed administration of other endothelin receptor antagonists and were observed in clinical studies with Ambrisentan.

Hepatic impairment: Ambrisentan is not recommended in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment.
InteractionsView
Multiple dose co-administration of Ambrisentan and Cyclosporine resulted in an approximately 2-fold increase in Ambrisentan exposure in healthy volunteers; therefore, limit the dose of Ambrisentan to 5 mg once daily when co-administered with Cyclosporine.
Pregnancy & lactationView
Pregnancy Category X. It is not known whether Ambrisentan is excreted in human milk. Breastfeeding while receiving Ambrisentan is not recommended.
StorageView
Store in a cool and dry place, below 30°C. Protect from light and moisture.

Ambrosol

Ambroxol Hydrochloride
Capsule (Sustained Release) 75 mg Allopathic Cough expectorants & mucolytics

Indications

Sore throat

Indication detailsView
This is indicated in-
  • Productive cough
  • Acute and chronic inflammatory disorders of upper and lower respiratory tracts associated with viscid mucus including acute and chronic bronchitis
  • Inflammatory disease of rhinopharyngeal tract (laryngitis, pharyngitis, sinusitis and rhinitis) associated with viscid mucus
  • Asthmatic bronchitis bronchial asthma with thick expectoration
  • Bronchiectasis
  • Chronic pneumonia etc.
Therapeutic classView
Cough expectorants & mucolytics
PharmacologyView
Ambroxol is the active metabolite of bromhexine and it has been proven that this metabolite possesses a greater bronchosecretolytic effect than bromhexine. It improves sputum rheology by hydrating mechanism leading to liquefaction of mucus in the lumen of respiratory tract, thus facilitating expectoration of mucus and reducing dyspnea. It stimulates production of phospholipids of surfactant by alveolar cells, thus contributing to the lowering of superficial tension in the alveoli. It also reduces bronchial hyperactivity. Ambroxol has anti inflammatory properties owing to the inhibitory effect on the production of cellular cytokines and arachidonic acid metabolites. In patients with COPD it traditionally improves airway patency.
DosageView
Average daily dose (preferably after meal):

Pediatric Drops:
  • 0-6 months: 0.5 ml 2 times a day
