Dysfunction of the respiratory system, which develops as a result of colds and infectious diseases, provokes a painful, dry cough. This article will consider instructions for the use of Fluimucil, a drug that liquefies and removes phlegm, exhibits expectorant properties and helps to quickly relieve the condition sick.

How Fluimucil works

The therapeutic effect of the drug is due to the presence in the composition of the active substance - acetylcysteine. It is a derivative of the amino acid cysteine ​​that directly affects the chemical structure of sputum. Acetylcysteine ​​breaks down disulfide bonds, thereby leading to the liquefaction of mucus and a decrease in its viscosity. It sticks off more easily from the bronchial walls and coughs up faster.

Simultaneously with mucolytic action, acetylcysteine ​​triggers a nonspecific mechanism of local protection of the respiratory mucosa. In addition, the active substance exhibits antioxidant and detoxifying properties. In the course of research, it was proved that the use of acetylcysteine ​​in ARVI helps to alleviate the course of the disease, to reduce the severity of characteristic symptoms. This is evidenced by numerous reviews of the drug.

In addition to the mucolytic agent Fluimucil, there is another type of drug - this is an antibiotic Fluimucil IT, which contains a broad-spectrum antibacterial substance –Thiamphenicol.

The drug belongs to the group of amphenicols and can be applied topically and parenterally. Under the influence of thiamphenicol, the process of protein synthesis in the cells of pathogenic microorganisms is disrupted. The active substance spreads at high speed in the body, accumulates in the respiratory organs and has bacteriostatic effect, that is, it actively destroys bacteria that are causative agents of respiratory infections ways.

Forms of issue

Several forms of Fluimucil can be found in pharmacies today:

  • Dilution granules (powder);
  • Fluimucil 600 mg effervescent tablets;
  • Oral solution (syrup);
  • Lyophilisate (antibiotic Fluimucil IT for injection and inhalation).

The ability to choose from several forms allows the drug to be used for the treatment of patients of different age groups (adults and children). The average price of powder and effervescent tablets is 170 rubles. The average cost of a syrup is 200 rubles. The price of the antibiotic Fluimucil starts at 500 rubles.

Indications for use

Fluimucil is prescribed for the following conditions:

  • pathologies of the respiratory organs, which are accompanied by the formation of viscous mucus and problematic sputum discharge (bronchitis, tracheitis, pneumonia, cystic fibrosis, pneumonia, lung abscess, etc.);
  • post-traumatic and postoperative conditions (to remove viscous secretions from the respiratory tract);
  • purulent and catarrhal otitis media;
  • sinusitis;
  • sinusitis;
  • preparation for bronchoscopy.

Fluimucil is also used to flush the nasal passages, maxillary sinuses and the operating field during operations on the nasal cavity. The use of the drug is justified as a means to improve the drainage of the respiratory tract in non-specific forms of ARVI and mycobacterial infections.

Instructions for use

Each form of release has its own characteristics of use and dosage regimen.

Granules for solution preparation

Fluimucil powder can be used to treat newborn babies, but only under medical supervision. The recommended daily dose is calculated by a specialist from a ratio of 10 mg / kg of the child's body weight. According to the instructions, to prepare the solution, you need to take 60 ml of cool boiled water and dissolve one portion of the medicine in it. For convenience, children in the first year of life can be given a pre-prepared medicinal solution from a spoon or bottle that is used for feeding.

The daily dose for children from 1-2 years of age is 100 mg of the drug twice a day. If the child is more than 2 and less than 6 years old, he should be given 200 mg of medication per day, which must be divided into two or three doses. For children from 6 years old and adults, Fluimucil is prescribed 2-3 times a day, 200 mg.

The duration of treatment with a medicinal mixture is selected individually, depending on the severity of the disease and the patient's condition. As a rule, in the acute form of the disease, therapy lasts 5-10 days, in the treatment of chronic conditions - several months.

Effervescent tablets

This dosage form is usually prescribed only for adults. The daily dose is 1 tablet (600 mg), which must be diluted in 1/3 cup of water. Fluimucil tablets can only be taken from the age of 18. The duration of treatment is also determined individually by the doctor and depends on the patient's condition.

Oral solution

Fluimucil syrup can be administered to both adults and children. One bottle of the drug (200 g) contains 40 mg of active ingredient. Children from 14 years old and adults are shown to take 15 ml of solution once a day. A child from 2 to 5 years old should be given the drug three times a day, 5 ml (one measuring spoon). For children from 6 to 14 years old, four times the same dose of the drug per day is shown.

Lyophilisate

Fluimucil can be administered by inhalation, intratracheal, parenteral and topical administration. For aerosol therapy, devices with a control valve or ultrasound devices are used. In the first case, no more than 6 ml of a 10% solution is used, in the second - from 3 to 9 ml. The duration of the procedure should not exceed 20 minutes. You can do from 2 to 4 sessions per day.

Fluimucil for inhalation in acute forms of diseases is used for 5-10 days. Therapy for chronic diseases can last up to 6 months.

The peculiarity of the use of the drug lies in its safety, therefore the frequency of procedures and the magnitude doses can be changed by the doctor and selected individually for the patient within acceptable limits values. In this case, the dosage for adults and children may be the same. For inhalation, it is better to use a compressor device.

Dilution rules for solution for inhalation

Many patients are interested in how to dilute Fluimucil solution for inhalation? To prepare a therapeutic base, it is necessary to open one ampoule with the drug and dilute its contents in saline or chilled boiled water in equal proportions, that is, 1: 1. It is necessary to prepare the solution in glass containers, because metal and rubber containers negatively affect the activity of the active substance.

It is not recommended to place the therapeutic mixture in an ultrasonic nebulizer, because its use leads to the rapid destruction of the active substance of Fluimucil. For inhalation, a compressor device should be used that provides the desired therapeutic effect.

Fluimucil for cough in the form of a solution for intratracheal treatment for the purpose of cleansing the bronchi is used in the case of a medical bronchoscopy. According to the instructions, in this case, it is shown from 1-2 or more ampoules per day, depending on the patient's condition.

For topical use, Fluimucil is instilled into the nose at 150-300 mg in each nostril.

For parenteral treatment, Fluimucil is administered intravenously or intramuscularly. For intravenous administration, the solution is poured in drip or jet. In the latter case, the drug should be injected into a vein very slowly, over 5 minutes.

For adults, the daily dose of the drug is 300 mg (3 ml) 1 to 2 times a day. For children from 6 to 14 years old, the dose of the drug allowed for use per day is two times less (150 mg). When treating a child under 6 years old, the daily dose of the drug is calculated taking into account the body weight - 10 mg / kg.

The antibiotic Fluimucil can be prescribed to children only in the presence of vital indications and under the strict supervision of a physician, using intravenous administration of the drug in a hospital setting.

Pregnancy and Fluimucil

Fluimucil during pregnancy can be used only in case of exceptional indications. At the same time, before starting treatment, a pregnant woman needs to undergo a thorough examination to determine the risk to the health and development of the fetus.

The most gentle and safe method of therapy with this drug during pregnancy is inhalation. This method of drug administration minimizes the risk of the active substance entering the circulatory system. The dosage and duration of treatment is determined by the doctor and depends on the nature of the disease, the course of pregnancy and the patient's condition. Fluimucil solution with an antibiotic in the composition to use the period of gestation and breastfeeding, is contraindicated.

Contraindications and side effects

The main contraindication to the use of Fluimucil is hypersensitivity to acetylcysteine ​​or excipients of the drug. Effervescent tablets should not be taken by children under 18 years of age. Granules for solution preparation are contraindicated in children under 2 years of age. Also, Fluimucil is not prescribed in the presence of the following diseases:

Reviews on the use of the antibiotic Fluimucil

According to reviews, Fluimucil is considered a popular cough suppressant for adults and children. As advantages, they note the variety of forms of the drug, ease of use, and especially praise the children's form of the drug in the form of a pleasant-tasting syrup.

Review number 1

My daughter is allergic, and with every cold I have to carefully select the list of drugs, weed out some effective drugs. Once again, after ARVI, she had an unpleasant cough. Giving syrups inside is fraught, so I had to look for another remedy. The doctor advised Fluimucil in the form of a solution for inhalation and injection.

After two days of use (inhalations were done twice a day), the cough quickly passed from dry to wet. The entire course lasted five days. One ampoule was used for one procedure. The only drawback is the high cost. For one course I had to pay about 500 rubles. On the other hand, the drug proved to be very effective and did not cause allergic reactions.

Review number 2

I buy Fluimucil in the form of effervescent tablets whenever I have a dry, lingering cough. This is a very effective remedy, and after 2-3 applications, the sputum begins to drain and the condition improves. I take one tablet a day, and after 5 days there is nothing left of the cough. The only thing that I don't like about this preparation is the unpleasant taste, but for the sake of such a result, you can tolerate it.

The drug is designed for adults, but it is also available in the form of a syrup, as well as a solution for inhalation and injection. The wife successfully treated her daughter for bronchitis with inhalations of Fluimucil. None of us had any side effects, and the result is always quick.

Review number 3

The son has adenoids, frequent colds are almost always accompanied by profuse nasal discharge and cough. The ENT doctor prescribed us different medications, but once again prescribed Fluimucil. It has a similar combined effect - it liquefies phlegm and destroys pathogenic bacteria.

In addition to the more favorable price, I also liked the effect of using the drug. On the second day of using the medicine, the child began to breathe through his nose. The prepared medicinal mixture of antibiotic and water for injection was instilled through a pipette into each nostril. After 5 days, the runny nose completely disappeared and the son's condition improved.
