other parameters in model implementation

Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent used to facilitate the clearance of mucus from the respiratory tract. It is commonly prescribed to treat acute and chronic diseases of the respiratory tract associated with viscid or excessive mucus. Ambroxol is widely approved and used in clinical practice, especially in Europe and Asia.

Pharmacokinetics

Pharmacokinetic parameters reported for healthy adult volunteers after oral administration.
