Ambroxol works by thinning and loosening mucus in the respiratory tract, making it easier to clear, and also by stimulating surfactant production to help keep airways open. Surfactant is a substance produced by lung cells (pneumocytes) that reduces surface tension, aiding breathing. These mechanisms help relieve cough and improve breathing in conditions with thick mucus.
