Pharmacological properties

The drug belongs to the group of mucolytic drugs and has pronounced antioxidant properties. The action of the agent is aimed at liquefying sputum, increasing its concentration and excretion from the body.

The medicine reduces the degree of attachment of microorganisms to the mucous membranes of the bronchi. It has a similar effect in relation to the secretion produced during the development of inflammatory processes occurring in the region of the ENT organs. The antioxidant effect is due to the activity of the main components that neutralize toxins.

The active substance is able to penetrate cells and lead to the formation of glutathione, which determines the antioxidant and cytoprotective effect of the agent. Thanks to this mechanism, toxic substances and free radicals are neutralized.

The ingredient takes part in redox reactions and leads to the elimination of toxic components. In this regard, the active substance is often used for intoxications caused by the abuse of paracetamol.

The drug prevents the destruction of the elastase inhibitor and exhibits pronounced anti-inflammatory properties due to the ability of the agent to prevent the formation of free radicals and other mediators responsible for inflammatory reactions.
