Ambroxol?

Since this probably got lost in the "Research News" board due to its nondescript topic:
Did someone here notice any difference to their T when taking Ambroxol? It's the active ingredient of several cough medicines and seems to have pretty few side effects and is pretty cheap. Actually, it's available without prescription in Germany (and probably everywhere else).
There is a patent mentioning that it "could" help against tinnitus (which does of course not mean anything).
And there is "someone on the internet" claiming that he noticed a difference while taking it and probably getting a higher than usual dose (which is of course an even weaker evidence, there's always someone on the internet claiming something...).

However, since there are probably some people here that took it as expectorant during a cough, I wonder if they noticed any difference in their T.

P.S. It's also shown to help the regrowth of CNS axons in mice eye, at least if it's injected straight into their eyes (Yuck!).

Where can you buy this? What's the proposed mechanism of action?

 

I bought some on eBay, I'll let you know if it does anything in 4-6 weeks :-p

 

The patent states that it can be compared to lidocaine, which seems to be useful (there's a discussion in the treatments section about it) but can cause quite severe side effects, whereas ambroxol seems to be quite harmless.

The proposed mechanism of action is, according to the patent:

 

Sorry, forgot to answer the other part: Ambroxol is the active ingredient in many cough medicines.
According to wikipedia some brand names are

 

I couldn't find anything in the UK with the active ingredient Ambraxol. Can you like which product(s) you found and the one at 2GBP?

 

Which one is it?

http://www.docsimon.co.uk/search.php?find=ambroxol&find_flag=&ltype=&fsub=SEARCH

that's the link I found. Not sure if the shop is trustworthy or not, it came just up when googling.

 

@ruben ruiz : Most of those are books. The Children's cold relief is some homeopathic stuff, and the last one is out of stock and probably nothing a human should use. Sorry...

The only thing I found after quite some web search was
http://www.internationaldrugmart.com/ambroxol.htm

and I'm not sure if this is legit at all, in any case it's expensive for some drug that might not help at all...

 

I have no opinion on the medication, Ambroxol, and its possible curative aspects relating to tinnitus, except that I cannot wait for the first member to say that they have found relief, after which, this thread undoubtedly will take off just like the following one did:

https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/already-6-hours-tinnitus-free-with-cbd-oil.11281

In relation to CDB oil, I wouldn't be surprised if due to the posts of @Drecul, the members of TinnitusTalk collectively managed to empty or two online stores completely.

The joys of the Internet...

 

Yeah, bought me some CBD oil , obviously did nothing.

 

I got some of this stuff on eBay. Seems trivially easy to source, it's a common OTC drug in large parts of the world.

 

Yeah, this is about as common as dirt.
If it did anything for t (or Parkinson's or diarrhea), I'm sure we'd know it by now.
