AMSOLVAN ORAL SOLUTION 30MG/5ML COMPOSITION Each 5ml contains Ambroxol Hydrochloride 30mg. Benzoic Acid 0.15%w/v as preservative. PHARMACODYNAMICS Ambroxol hydrochloride is a mucolytic that alters the structure of mucus to decrease its viscosity thereby facilitating its removal by ciliary action or expectoration. PHARMACOKINETICS Absorption Absorption of ambroxol hydrochloride is rapid and complete, with dose linearity in the therapeutic range. Maximum plasma levels are reached within 1-2.5 hours following oral administration. Distribution In the therapeutic range, plasma protein-binding was found to be approximately 90%.Distribution of ambroxol hydrochloride from blood to tissue is rapid and pronounced, with the highest concentration of the active substance found in the lungs. The volume of distribution following oral administration was estimated to be 552 L. Metabolism About 30% of an orally administered dose is eliminated via first-pass metabolism. Studies in human liver microsomes have shown that CYP3A4 is responsible for the metabolism of ambroxol hydrochloride to dibromanthranilic acid. Ambroxol hydrochloride is primarily metabolized in the liver by glucuronidation and some cleavage to dibromanthranilic acid (approximately 10% of dose) aside from some minor metabolites. Elimination Ambroxol hydrochloride is eliminated with a terminal elimination half-life of approximately 10 hours. Total clearance is in the range of 660 ml/min, with renal clearance accounting for approximately 83% of the total clearance. _ _ _Special Populations:_ In patients with hepatic dysfunction, elimination of ambroxol hydrochloride is reduced, resulting in approximately 1.3 to 2-fold higher plasma levels. Due to the high therapeutic range of ambroxol hydrochloride, dose adjustments are not necessary. _Others:_ Age and gender were not found to affect the pharmacokinetics of ambroxol hydrochloride to a clinically relevant extent and thus, there is no necessity for adjustment of dosage regimens. Food was not found to influence the bioav Baca dokumen lengkap
