Pharmacodynamics
The drug belongs to the group of bronchodilators, is a beta-2-adrenomimetic. This is a selective drug. It has a powerful secretolytic effect, increases the content of cyclic adenosine monophosphate in the blood, as a result of which the body is more saturated with oxygen, receives the necessary level of energy. It inhibits the release of mast cells, which are mediators of release and contribute to the formation of pulmonary spasms and spasms in the bronchi. Accordingly, the drug reduces the inflammatory process and prevents the development of bronchospasm.
Due to the ability to inhibit the release of histamine, it reduces swelling and eliminates congestion in the bronchi, as a result of which mucociliary clearance improves and secretolytic activity increases. Sputum becomes more liquid, its viscosity decreases, as a result of which its discharge is significantly facilitated. The drug also has an anabolic effect, there are cases of fever. The drug has the ability to be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The main metabolism occurs in the liver. This leads to the formation of metabolites that do not have metabolic activity. The drug is excreted mainly through the kidneys, in a virtually unchanged form. This creates a large load on the kidneys, so it should be taken with caution by patients with acute or chronic renal dysfunction.

Also, you cannot combine the drug with theophylline, monoamine oxidase inhibitors. The effectiveness of drugs for normalizing and lowering blood pressure is significantly reduced. It is also worth noting that when taken together with antidepressants, beta-adrenergic agonists, the effect of the drug is potentiated. When combined with sympathomimetics, the risk of toxic effects increases.
