Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

The active substance of Orvis Broncho is ambroxol - an active N-demethylated metabolite of bromhexine. It has a secretomotor, secretolytic and expectorant effect. Thanks to its use, the work of the bronchial glands is stimulated, the motor activity of the ciliated epithelium increases, which is ensured by the effect on pneumocytes of the second type and Clara cells (in the alveoli and bronchioles, respectively). There is also an increase in the formation of endogenous surfactant - a surfactant that provides a slip in the airway lumen of bronchial secretions.

Ambroxol contributes to an increase in the proportion of the serous component in the bronchial secretion, this leads to an improvement in its structure, a decrease in viscosity and, as a consequence, to dilution of sputum. The combination of these effects is manifested by an improvement in mucociliary transport (mucociliary clearance). Due to the increased mucociliary clearance, there is an improvement in the excretion of sputum from the bronchial tree and relief of coughing.

When taking Orvis Broncho inside, the therapeutic effect develops on average after 30 minutes, the duration of the effect depends on the dose and ranges from 6 to 12 hours.

Pharmacokinetics

After oral administration, Ambroxol is rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. With _max (maximum concentration of the substance) in the blood plasma is achieved in 1-3 hours. The V _d (volume of distribution) is 552 liters. Plasma protein binding in a therapeutic concentration range of 80 to 90%.

The highest concentrations of ambroxol are recorded in the lungs. The substance penetrates the blood-brain and placental barriers, is excreted in breast milk. About 30% of an oral dose of Ambroxol is exposed to the effect of primary passage through the liver.

According to studies carried out on human liver microsomes, the predominant isoform responsible for the metabolism of ambroxol to dibromantranilic acid is the isoenzyme CYP3A4. The rest of the substance is metabolized in the liver by conjugation with the formation of metabolites that do not have pharmacological activity.

Terminal T _1/2 (half-life) of a substance from blood plasma - 10 hours. The total T _{1/2 of} ambroxol and its metabolites is approximately 22 hours. Excretion is carried out by the kidneys: in the form of metabolites - 90% of the dose, unchanged - 10%.

No clinically significant effect of the patient's gender and age on the pharmacokinetic parameters of ambroxol was found, so there is no reason for dose adjustment.

Taking a deep breath during inhalation therapy can provoke a cough, so inhalations should be carried out in a normal breathing mode. It is recommended to warm the solution to body temperature before the procedure.

In case of bronchial asthma, patients should be inhaled after using bronchodilators, this will avoid nonspecific irritation of the respiratory tract and their spasm.

If after 4-5 days of therapy the symptoms of the disease persist, you should consult your doctor.

Side effects

Possible adverse reactions (> 10% - very often;> 1% and 0.1% and 0.01% and <0.1% - rarely; <0.01% - very rare; with an unknown frequency - it is not possible to set the frequency unwanted reactions):

• immune system: rarely - angioedema, urticaria, skin rash, hypersensitivity reactions, itching; in isolated cases - anaphylactic reactions (including anaphylactic shock);
• digestive system: often - nausea, decreased sensitivity in the pharynx or mouth; infrequently - abdominal pain, dyspepsia, diarrhea, vomiting; rarely - dryness of the mucous membrane of the pharynx and oral cavity; with an unknown frequency - constipation, heartburn;
• nervous system: often - dysgeusia;
• respiratory system: rarely - rhinorrhea, dryness of the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract;
• skin and subcutaneous tissues: very rarely - Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis (Lyell's syndrome);
• others: with an unknown frequency - fever, weakness.

Overdose

In humans, the specific symptoms of ambroxol overdose have not been described.

The main symptoms: vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, dyspepsia (correspond to the known side reactions of Ambroxol, which is used in the recommended doses).

special instructions

The combined use of Orvis Broncho with antitussives, in which there is difficulty in excreting sputum, is not recommended.

In order to maintain a secretolytic effect during the period of therapy with Orvis Broncho, it is necessary to ensure the intake of a sufficient amount of fluid into the body.

Ambroxol against the background of bronchial asthma can lead to increased coughing.

1 ml of Orvis Broncho contains 10 mg of sodium, which should be taken into account by patients following a hyponatric diet.

The preparation contains benzalkonium chloride as a preservative, which in sensitive patients with increased airway reactivity during inhalation can lead to bronchial spasm.

It is not recommended to mix Orvis Broncho with alkaline solutions and cromoglycic acid.

Patients with severe renal insufficiency (with creatinine clearance less than 30 ml / min) should take into account the likelihood of accumulation of ambroxol metabolites.

There is information about isolated cases of development of Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Lyell's syndrome during treatment with ambroxol. A causal relationship between these phenomena has not been confirmed. Most often, these disorders could be explained by the severity of the underlying disease and / or concomitant treatment.

Against the background of Stevens-Johnson syndrome or Lyell's syndrome in the early phase, it is possible to develop symptoms such as fever, rhinitis, pain in the body and throat, and cough. When carrying out symptomatic treatment, it is possible to erroneously prescribe drugs with mucolytic action, including ambroxol. With the development of these syndromes, it is recommended to stop using Orvis Broncho and immediately seek medical help.

Application during pregnancy and lactation

• I trimester of pregnancy and lactation: the use of Orvis Broncho is contraindicated;
• II – III trimesters of pregnancy: therapy can be carried out only after assessing the ratio of the expected benefits and possible risks.

Drug interactions

Possible interactions:

• drugs with antitussive action: it is difficult to discharge sputum, which is associated with the suppression of the cough reflex;
• amoxicillin, cefuroxime, doxycycline, erythromycin: the concentration of these drugs in the bronchial secretions increases.
