Influence on Mucociliary Clearance by a Theophylline-Ambroxol Combination and by Ambroxol in Monotherapy. In a controlled randomised double-blind study the influence of theophylline + ambroxol (TA) and ambroxol (A) on lung function and mucociliary clearance was investigated. 19 patients with chronic obstructive lung disease were treated after a 5-day wash-out period for 5 days with TA (700 mg theophylline, 60 mg ambroxol/d) or A (60 mg ambroxol/d), respectively. Measurements were done on the 5th and 10th day. Under the treatment with TA a marked improvement of lung function was observed. The mucociliary clearance improved under treatment with TA and A, with TA being significantly better compared with treatment group A.
