Description

Compound:

Each effervescent tablet contains:

Acetylcysteine 600 mg

Auxiliary components:

Anhydrous citric acid;

Sodium bicarbonate;

Aspartame;

Lemon flavoring.

Properties:

Mucolytic agent is a derivative of the amino acid cysteine. It has a mucolytic effect, increases the volume of sputum, facilitates its discharge due to a direct effect on the rheological properties of sputum. The action of acetylcysteine is associated with the ability of its sulfhydryl groups to break intra- and intermolecular disulfide bonds of acidic mucopolysaccharides of sputum, which leads to depolarization of mucoproteins and a decrease in sputum viscosity.

Reduces induced hyperplasia of mucoid cells, enhances the production of surfactants by stimulating type II pneumocytes, stimulates mucociliary activity, which leads to improved mucociliary clearance.

Remains active in the presence of purulent, mucopurulent and mucous sputum.

Indications:

Respiratory diseases and conditions accompanied by the formation of viscous and mucopurulent sputum: acute and chronic bronchitis, tracheitis due to bacterial and/or viral infection, pneumonia, bronchiectasis, bronchial asthma, atelectasis due to blockage of the bronchi with a mucus plug, sinusitis (to facilitate the passage of secretions ), cystic fibrosis (as part of combination therapy).

Preparation for bronchoscopy, bronchography, aspiration drainage.

Removal of viscous secretions from the respiratory tract in post-traumatic and postoperative conditions.

For washing abscesses, nasal passages, maxillary sinuses, middle ear, treatment of fistulas, surgical field during operations on the nasal cavity and mastoid process.

Contraindicated for use in children under 12 years of age.

Precautionary measures:

Use with caution in the following diseases and conditions: history of gastric and duodenal ulcers; bronchial asthma, liver and/or kidney failure; histamine intolerance (long-term use should be avoided, since acetylcysteine affects the metabolism of histamine and can lead to signs of intolerance, such as headache, vasomotor rhinitis, itching); varicose veins of the esophagus; adrenal gland diseases; arterial hypertension.

When using acetylcysteine in patients with bronchial asthma, it is necessary to ensure sputum drainage.

A 1-2 hour interval should be observed between taking acetylcysteine and antibiotics.

The compliance of the route of administration and the dosage form used should be strictly observed.
