"... even at the highest clinically used doses ambroxol does not have significant direct effects on the CNS. At clinically relevant plasma concentrations ambroxol either does not penetrate blood-brain barrier, or its brain levels are too low to cause relevant effects. \\ | "... even at the highest clinically used doses ambroxol does not have significant direct effects on the CNS.

- | Ambroxol has been used in the therapy of airway diseases since late 1970s. Its history can be traced, however, to ayurvedic medicine in ancient India. The plant Adhatoda vasica has been used in India for similar indications for centuries. In Germany this plant is still called ‘Indisches Lungenkraut’ (Indian lung weed). The likely active substance in the plant is the alkaloid, vasicine. A chemically related drug, bromhexine, was introduced in 1965 to treat mild respiratory disorders. Ambroxol, the active metabolite of bromexine, has been found to be responsible for the therapeutic effect; and found to be superior to bromhexine in its pharmacokinetics, | + | Ambroxol has been used in the therapy of airway diseases since late 1970s.
