Effect of a Secretolytic and a Combination of Pinene, Limonene and Cineole on Mucociliary Clearance in Patients with Chronic Pulmonary Obstruction. Studies demonstrating the elimination of radioactive particles during a 7-day course of therapy with 3 x 30 mg ambroxol or 4 x 1 capsule. Gelomyrtol forte (1 capsule = 0.3 g Myrtol, standardised to at least 20 mg of alpha-pinene, 75 mg of limonene and 75 mg of cineole (eucalyptol) yield improved mucociliary clearance in both groups. No change of lung function was observed.
