Mechanism of Action-

Ambroxal blocks the nitric oxide activation because cGMP accumulation stimulated by adenyl cyclase with the help of nitric oxide causes alteration or disturbances in the airway function therefore by blocking it lowers the viscosity of mucus.
Guaiphenesin irritates the gastric vagal receptors and evokes the efferent parasympathetic reflexes thus elicit exocytosis which contains the mixture of the thin mucus.
Terbutaline works by catalysing the conversion of ADP to cyclic 3’5 monophosphate and thus increases accumulation of cAMP causes relaxation of bronchial smooth muscles and prevent the release of any inflammatory mediator.
Menthol also works as anaesthetic and helps to provide relief from the sore throat and makes the throat cooler and provide relief from nasal congestion.
