Children up to 2 years: Half a teaspoonful ambroxol syrup twice daily. Children 2-5 years: Half a teaspoonful ambroxol syrup 3 times daily Children over 5 years: One teaspoonful ambroxol syrup 2-3 times daily. Mechanism of Action: Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent. Excessive Nitric Oxide (NO) is associated with inflammatory and some other disturbances of airways function. NO enhances the activation of soluble guanylate cyclase and cGMP accumulation. Ambroxol has been shown to inhibit the NO-dependent activation of soluble guanylate cyclase. It is also possible that the inhibition of NO-dependent activation of soluble guanylate cyclase can suppress the excessive mucus secretion, therefore it lowers the phlegm viscosity and improves the mucociliary transport of bronchial secretions.
