About TerbutalineA ?2-adrenergic agonist,a fast-acting bronchodilator, Tocolytic,Anti asthma.Mechanism of Action of TerbutalineTerbutaline is a ?2 receptor agonist. Terbutaline directly relaxes the airway smooth muscles and produces bronchodilation. Stimulation of ?2 receptors activates Gs adenylyl-cyclase -cyclic AMP path way and produces reduction in smooth muscle tone. ?2 receptor agonists also increases the conductance of large Ca2+sensitive K+ channels in airway smooth muscles and leads to membrane hyperpolarisation and relaxation of smooth muscles.
Tocolytic action: In premature labour Terbutaline relaxes uterine smooth muscles and inhibits uterine contractions.
Pharmacokinets of TerbutalineAbsorption: It is partially absorbed (about 33- 50%) after oral administration
Distribution: It is widely distributed in the body.
Metabolism: It is partially metabolised in the liver to inactive compounds.
Excretion: Drug and its metabolites are excreted mainly in urine.

About GuaiphenesinPropanediol derivative, Expectorant.Mechanism of Action of GuaiphenesinGuaiphenesin is an expectorant which after absorption from the gastrointestinal tract secreted by tracheobronchial glands and directly increase bronchial secretion and mucosal ciliary action. It increases respiratory tract fluid by reducing adhesiveness and surface tension, reducing viscosity of the secretions and there by facilitating their removal and clears chest congestion.
Action in local vaginal preparations: Guaiphenesin helps to thin the thick or sticky cervical mucus.
Pharmacokinets of GuaiphenesinAbsorption: Well absorbed orally.Distribution: It is secreted by the tracheobronchial glands.
Metabolism: It is metabolized primarily to Beta-2-methoxyphenoxy-lactic acid. Excretion: It is excreted in the urine.

About AmbroxolActive N-desmethyl metabolite of bromhexine,systemically active mucolytic agent, Secretomotoric and expectoration improver.Mechanism of Action of AmbroxolAmbroxol hydrochloride acts as an expectoration improver and mucolytic agent. It decreases mucus viscosity by altering its structure. It depolymerises mucopolysaccharides directly as well as by liberating lysosomal enzymes and by breaking network of fibres in tenacious sputum . It induces thin copious bronchial secretion and possesses antioxidant properties.Pharmacokinets of AmbroxolN/AOnset of Action for AmbroxolN/ADuration of Action for AmbroxolN/AHalf Life of AmbroxolN/ASide Effects of Ambroxol1.
