It is ambroxol, which belongs to mucolytics and solventias (expectorants) is considered to be a substance, having an active influence at basic mechanisms of bronchial mucus pbysiological production and transportation. Due to these features the main indication to its prescribtion is "secretolytic" therapy of acute and chronic pulmonary diseases, associated with tracheobronchial secret hypersecretion and disorder of its transportation. The aim of current review is estimation of pharmacological and clinical data concerning secretolytic and mucokinetic activity of ambroxol and grounding of a new strategy of its use in practice of internal medicine. Retrospective analysis of the results of pharmacological and clinical research works of national and foreign authors for the period from 1967 to 2017 was used. The research data with adequate design from "proper clinical practice" positions (GCP) and evidentary medicine were included. It was made a conclusion, that ambroxol as a medicament has a row of original characteristics including: 1) high secretolytic activity stimulating the mucosal clearance, expectoration of the secret and reduce of productive cough, 2) antiinflammatory and antioxidative activity, 3) local analgesic (anaestetic) effect by means of blocking of sodium channels of cellular membranes. The reduce of frequency of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease recidives proves the significance of ambroxol clinical effects. Effect of tunicas mucosa anaesthesia is related to a new pharmacological effect of ambroxol, which could be useful in acute bronchitis and ARVI infection therapy. The efficacy and safety of ambroxol clinical practice use has been tested by almost half-century experience of its prescribtion. Modern strategy of mucolytic therapy is able to improve significantly the quality of treatment and prognosis of patients with acute and chronic pulmonary diseases with tracheobronchial secret hypersecretion, mucociliar clearance disorders and non-productive cough.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Многолетние врачебные наблюдения за использованием амброксола привлекают в настоящее время все большее внимание. Именно амброксол, относящийся к группе муколитиче ских и отхаркивающих средств (экспекторантов), признается субстанцией, активно влияющей на базовые механизмы физиологической продукции и транспорта бронхиальной слизи. Благодаря этим свойствам ведущим показанием к его назначению является «секретолитическая» терапия острых и хронических легочных заболеваний, ассоциированных с гиперсекрецией трахеобронхиального секрета и нарушением его транспорта. Целью настоящего обзора является оценка фармакологических и клинических данных о секретолитической и мукокинетической активности амброксола с обоснованием новой стратегии его применения в практике терапевта. В работе использовался ретроспективный анализ результатов фармакологических и клинических исследований отечественных и зарубежных авторов за период с 1967 по 2017 г. В анализ включались данные исследований, имеющие адекватный дизайн с позиций «надлежащей клинической практики» (GCP) и доказательной медицины. Сделано заключение, что амброксол как лекарственное средство обладает рядом оригинальных свойств, в числе которых: 1) достоверная высокая секретолитическая активность, способствующая клиренсу слизи, экспекторации секрета, уменьшению продуктивного кашля; 2) противовоспалительная и антиоксидантная активность; 3) локальный обезболивающий (анестетический) эффект посредством блокировки натриевых каналов клеточных мембран. Уменьшение частоты обострений хронической обструктивной болезни легких служит доказательством значимых клинических эффектов амброксола. Эффект анестезии слизистых оболочек относят к новому фармакологическому действию амброксола, полезному в терапии острого бронхита и ОРВИ. Эффективность и безопасность применения амброксола в клинической практике испытана полувековым опытом его назначения. Современная стратегия муколитической терапии способна существенно улучшить качество лечения и прогноз пациентов, имеющих острые и хронические легочные заболевания с гиперсекрецией трахеобронхиального секрета, нарушениями мукоцилиарного клиренса и непродуктивным кашлем.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>ambroxol</kwd><kwd>mucolytic therapy</kwd><kwd>muco-ciliary clearance</kwd><kwd>secretolytic activity</kwd><kwd>mucokinetic activity</kwd><kwd>chronic pulmonary diseases</kwd><kwd>chronic obstructive pulmonary disease</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>амброксол</kwd><kwd>муколитическая терапия</kwd><kwd>мукоцилиарный клиренс</kwd><kwd>секретолитическая активность</kwd><kwd>мукокинетическая активность</kwd><kwd>хронические легочные заболевания</kwd><kwd>хроническая обструктивная болезнь легких</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Houtmeyers E., Gosselink R., Gayan-Ramirez G., Decramer M.
