Ambroxol Hydrochloride

The treatment regimen consists of a titration phase and a maintenance phase. Participants begin the titration phase (Weeks 1 and 2) taking 6 capsules a day (450mg or 0 mg) divided BID (3 capsules in the morning and 3 capsules in the evening). The first medication dose will be taken at the end of Baseline visit and in the presence of the study Neurologist. Possible side effects will be observed for 30 minutes. Medication dose will increase bi-weekly to 12 capsules on Weeks 3 and 4, and 18 capsules on Weeks 5 and 6 divided BID. At the end of titration (Week 5) participants will have reached a maximum of 1350mg or 0mg per day, depending on group allocation. In the maintenance phase, participants will remain in their maximum dose (1350mg or 0mg) from Week 5 to Week 52 (End of Trial).
