However, both the main agent and its substitute have shown good tolerance and a high therapeutic effect. Both medicines are available over the counter.

Fluimucil

ACC (analogs should be used cheaper according to the instructions in the instructions or the recommendations of the attending specialist) can be replaced by other medicines of other dosage forms.

The analogue Fluimucil is manufactured in Switzerland and has identical forms of release - effervescent tablets and granules for the preparation of oral solution. The funds have one identical active ingredient (acetylcysteine). Both drugs belong to the same pharmacological group and have a similar effect.
