Antibiotic Fluimucil for inhalation

Inhalations are considered to be one of the effective methods of treating inflammatory diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract. Depending on the drugs used for the procedure, various therapeutic effects can be achieved. When it comes to pathologies of the lower respiratory tract, inhalations are usually aimed at facilitating the discharge of sputum. In diseases of the upper respiratory tract, the priority is to relieve swelling and inflammation, as well as remove purulent contents from the nasal passages. But since inflammatory pathologies of the respiratory system are most often associated with an infectious factor (bacteria and viruses), it would be good if an effective procedure such as inhalations helped to fight pathogens, exerting a local effect on them, and this effect can be achieved with the help of "Fluimucil Antibiotic" for inhalations and injections.

What is the drug?

Some people who are personally or indirectly familiar with the drug "Fluimucil" may be confused by the fact that we called the drug an antibiotic. In fact, "Fluimucil" and "Fluimucil - Antibiotic IT" are two different drugs.

In the first case, we are dealing with a good mucolytic agent based on acetylcysteine, which is effective for bronchitis, tracheitis, pneumonia, colds with difficult cough. As a regular mucolytic, this drug helps to thin sputum and has an antioxidant effect, but it does not have an antimicrobial effect. The drug is available in the form of granules for oral administration and a solution in ampoules, which are used for injections and inhalations for respiratory diseases of a viral, bacterial or non-infectious nature.

"Fluimucil - Antibiotic IT" is a combination drug in the form of powder (lyophysilate), from which a medicinal composition for inhalation can be prepared, as well as a solution for intravenous or intramuscular injections. It can be used both for bacterial pathologies and for the prevention of bacterial complications, because this drug contains an antibiotic.

The active substance of the drug is a special complex of an antibiotic (thiamphenicol) and a mucolytic (acetylcysteine), called thiamphenicol glycinate acetylcysteine.

Acetylcysteine in this preparation acts as a means that very quickly and well liquefies not only the mucous contents of the bronchi and nasal passages, but also purulent discharge, the formation of which is provoked by bacteria. Most often, staphylococci act in this role, in particular their bright representative Staphylococcus aureus, less often streptococci and other types of opportunistic and pathogenic microflora. This same substance promotes more complete penetration of the antibiotic into the lung tissue and weakens the adhesion of bacterial cells to the epithelial cells of the respiratory tract mucosa, which facilitates their removal from the body.

As for the antimicrobial component, thiamphenicol is considered one of the derivatives of the synthetic antibiotic chloramphenicol, which blocks protein synthesis in the microbial cell and thus acts bacteriostatically on microorganisms sensitive to it, i.e. inhibits their growth and reproduction.

Thiamphenicol is a substance with a wide spectrum of antibacterial action. In addition to gram-positive staphylococci and pneumococci, streptococcus pyogenes (a rare inhabitant of the pharynx and the main causative agent of scarlet fever) and corynebacteria (causative agents of diphtheria), as well as listeria, clostridia and some other types of pathogenic microflora are sensitive to it.

The antibiotic is also effective against a variety of gram-negative microorganisms: Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria (responsible for inflammatory processes in the genitourinary system), Salmonella, and Escherichia coli. It is also effective against lesser-known microflora: Shigella, Bordetella (whooping cough pathogens), Yersinia (diseases: yersiniosis, affecting the gastrointestinal tract, plague, pseudo-tuberculosis and some others), Brucella (bacteria transmitted to humans from animals and affecting various organs and systems), and Bacteroides.

Thiamphenicol, as part of the drug used for inhalation, is released after the absorption of the complex compound and acts locally, penetrating into various tissues of the respiratory system.

Indications for the procedure

Inhalations are a medical procedure and, depending on the drugs used, they can be prescribed for various diseases. Since we are now talking about a drug with an antibiotic, it can only be used for the procedure as prescribed by a doctor. It is important to understand that antibiotics are potent drugs, and their uncontrolled use can do a disservice, causing disruptions in the functioning of various organs and systems and provoking various complications in the form of superinfections, candidiasis, etc.

"Fluimucil" with an antimicrobial component is used in the treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the respiratory organs caused by bacteria that are sensitive to the drug, if the disease is accompanied by difficult discharge of sputum and pus from the bronchopulmonary system and nasal passages. Ideally, the drug should be prescribed after an analysis for the pathogen, but a wide range of antibacterial activity allows the drug to be used even before the results are obtained.

"Fluimucil-Antibiotic IT" for inhalation may be prescribed by a doctor in the following cases:

• For inflammatory and purulent-inflammatory processes in the upper respiratory tract: sinusitis, maxillary sinusitis, laryngotracheitis, etc.

A particularly illustrative example is the use of the drug "Fluimucil" with an antibiotic for inhalation in case of sinusitis, when the removal of pus from the paranasal sinuses is difficult. Thiamphenicol is considered an antibiotic that is active against almost all pathogens, and acetylcysteine helps to liquefy pus and remove now inactive bacteria from the area of their localization.

The solution of the drug for sinusitis is used not only for inhalations, but also for effective nasal lavage, which is carried out in hospital conditions. "Fluimucil - Antibiotic IT" can be used to moisten turundas, which are inserted deep into the nasal passages for sinusitis. In this and other ENT diseases, doctors may advise instilling the prepared solution into the nostrils or ears.

• For common diseases of the lower respiratory tract: bronchitis, acute and chronic, pneumonia (inflammation of the lungs) and their complications (abscess and pulmonary emphysema).
• Inhalations with a mucolytic and antibiotic will be useful for bronchiectatic disease, which has hereditary or other causes and occurs in a chronic form, when purulent contents accumulate in the dilated and weakened bronchi.
• Sometimes inhalation procedures are prescribed for bronchiolitis, an inflammatory disease affecting the bronchioles if the causative agent of the disease is a viral-bacterial infection. Inhalations help remove the accumulated inflammatory exudate from the terminal sections of the bronchial tree, which can cause obstruction. Simultaneous infection control helps reduce the inflammatory process.
• Whooping cough is a predominantly childhood infectious disease caused by specific Bordatella bacteria. In the 3rd-4th week of the disease, a dry, painful cough that is not responsive to antitussive drugs turns into a paroxysmal wet cough, with viscous mucus being separated with great difficulty. Coughing attacks become so painful that the patient's face even turns red from the strain. The disease is very dangerous for children under 2 years old, and in newborns it often causes death due to respiratory arrest between attacks.

Inhalations with a mucolytic and an antibiotic help to solve two problems at once: by preventing the proliferation of bacterial flora, stop the inflammatory process and help the little patient cough up hard-to-remove thick sputum.

• Thick mucus in the respiratory tract, which joins a bacterial infection, can also accumulate in a severe hereditary disease called cystic fibrosis, which occurs in the pulmonary (respiratory) form. If the mucus is not removed, it will lead to blockage of the lungs, the development of emphysema (with this pathology, air accumulates in the lung tissue and inflates them) or protracted pneumonia.

The disease is considered to be practically incurable, and effective measures to alleviate the patient's condition and prevent dangerous complications are inhalations that help thin mucus and combat bacterial microflora that multiply in the lower respiratory tract.

Inhalations with the drug "Fluimucil - Antibiotic IT" can serve as a preventive measure against complications after thoracic interventions in case of traumatic lung injuries, which are accompanied by a cough with sputum.

Inhalations with Fluimucil are also used before treatment and diagnostic procedures (for example, before bronchoscopy or aspiration (removal) of secretions from the bronchi) as an effective preparation for them. If we are talking about non-specific respiratory infections, inhalations will provide a drainage function in the area of cavernous foci caused by mycobacteria, and in the lungs in tuberculosis.

Preparation

Inhalations are considered a therapeutic and preventive procedure, in which the patient inhales air saturated with particles of medicines, solutions that soften and moisturize the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract, etc. And like any procedure of this kind, they require some simple preparation.

To facilitate the penetration of a complex drug with a mucolytic and an antibiotic into the nasal passages, they must first be cleared with a saline solution (1 teaspoon of table or sea salt per 0.5 liters of water) or preparations based on sea salt (Saline, Aquamaris, Humer, etc.). After that, vasoconstrictors are instilled into the nose, eliminating tissue swelling and helping to remove mucus from the nasal passages in order to gain access to the maxillary sinuses.

If the lower respiratory tract is treated with inhalations, and the air will penetrate the bronchi, bypassing the pharynx, you will simply need to thoroughly rinse the throat with a saline solution or herbal infusion to remove the mucus that inhibits the penetration of the medicine into the tissues affected by the disease. Preparation of the mucous membrane of the throat and nose for the procedure should be carried out 1-1.5 hours before the start of inhalations.

If the patient has just eaten, it is not advisable to perform inhalation, because the procedure in this case can cause nausea and vomiting. It is better to do inhalations an hour after eating. This will help reduce the strength of dizziness, which often occurs during the procedure, especially if it is performed on an empty stomach.

If a person smokes, he will have to wait an hour before the procedure and the same amount of time after it.

Inhalations involve deep breathing, so before the procedure it is recommended to conserve strength and avoid any physical activity. The best preparation would be rest with normalization of breathing and heartbeat. You should also take care of light, loose-fitting clothing made of natural fabrics that will not squeeze the chest, preventing deep breathing, and will not create a greenhouse effect (especially when it comes to steam inhalations).

Inhalations for respiratory diseases can be done in two ways: over a pan of hot water with the medicine dissolved in it, covering your head with a towel (steam) and using a nebulizer (dry). Before the procedure, you need to prepare all the accessories necessary for the selected type of inhalation in advance, make sure they are clean, check the inhaler for leaks. The drug "Fluimucil" and especially "Fluimucil - Antibiotic IT" are used mainly for inhalations with a nebulizer. The antibacterial component thiamphenicol is considered an unstable compound, which is not used in its pure form, and in a bound form it can enter into unwanted reactions with metal and rubber surfaces.

The choice of an inhaler will also have to be approached carefully. Two types of drugs are usually used: compression and ultrasonic. The latter, although considered a more modern inhaler, is not suitable in the case of Fluimucil. Preference should be given to compression nebulizers or use a device with a glass container.

Before working with the inhalation solution, be sure to wash your hands with soap. The solution is prepared in accordance with the recommendations for the drug.

Usually, complex physiotherapeutic treatment (and inhalation is a physiotherapeutic procedure) of the lower respiratory tract involves the alternate use of several drugs: a bronchodilator, a mucolytic, an anti-inflammatory and an antibacterial drug. That is, these are usually 3 consecutive procedures carried out at intervals of 20-30 minutes.

If you use Fluimucil for inhalations, the procedure will be the second on the list, and if you take Fluimucil - Antibiotic IT instead, all three procedures can be combined into one, since this drug has a complex effect. However, if the patient is diagnosed with bronchial obstruction, before inhalation with a mucolytic and antibiotic, you need to take a bronchodilator or conduct a preliminary inhalation with a bronchodilator, which will clear the way for the antibiotic inside.

Technique Fluimucil for inhalation.

As we have already mentioned, before starting inhalations, you need to prepare a medicinal solution, and if herbal infusions can be used without worrying too much about the dosage, then you need to be careful with medications. If the drug can be used for inhalations, this must be written in the instructions for it. There you can also find information about effective and safe doses of the drug.

Let's consider how you can use Fluimucil 100, 250 and 500 mg for inhalation for diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract.

"Fluimcil" 100 mg/ml is a mucolytic agent in ampoules containing 3 ml of ready-to-use solution for inhalation and injection. This is a ready-to-use 10% acetylcysteine solution that does not require additional dilution.

Inhalations with it can be carried out in devices of any type. For ultrasonic nebulizers, 3 to 9 ml of the drug (1-3 ampoules) should be taken per procedure. For compressor devices, 2 ampoules of Fluimucil are standardly taken.

The drug is generally safe, so the above dosage is applicable to the treatment of adults and children. However, the doctor may adjust the dosage depending on the patient's condition. For example, if the secretion comes out quickly and in large quantities, it will need to be removed (sucked out), and the dosage of the drug will need to be reduced.

Usually, the doctor prescribes 2 to 4 procedures per day, which last 15-20 minutes. The course of treatment for acute pathologies most often does not exceed 10 days, for chronic diseases, aerosol therapy can be prescribed for a period of up to six months.

The drug "Fluimucil - Antibiotic IT" is sold in vials with powder. Each vial contains 500 mg of thiamphenicol. The vial with the drug is supplied with an ampoule of water for injection of 4 ml, which is used to dissolve the lyophilisate.

How to prepare a solution for inhalation? First, remove the metal rim from the vial containing the powder, then remove the rubber stopper. Using a file, remove (file and break off along a special ring) the top of the ampoule containing the injection solution. Pour its contents into the vial with the powder, close it with a rubber stopper and mix thoroughly.

There is another, more reliable way to prepare the solution, preventing unnecessary contact of the drug with air. We open the ampoule with water for injection, draw the liquid into the syringe and release it into the vial with powder, piercing the rubber stopper with a needle. Mix the composition thoroughly, and then draw the required amount into the syringe and transfer it to the nebulizer reservoir.

The drug "Fluimucil - Antibiotic IT" for inhalation can also be diluted with purified water or sodium chloride solution (saline). Many readers are interested in how to dilute "Fluimucil" with an antibiotic with saline solution, if the instructions for the nebulizer require it? In fact, only ¼ of the water for injection should be replaced with saline solution, i.e. instead of 4 ml of water for injection included with the drug, take only 3 ml and add 1 ml of 9% sodium chloride solution to it. This composition will then need to be used to dilute the powder.

If the drug was prepared without opening the bottle with the powder, it can be stored in the refrigerator for 1 day. However, some experts insist that the antibiotic compound is unstable and can be destroyed by exposure to water, so for each procedure they recommend taking a new bottle with the drug and an ampoule with water for injection.

The liquid used to dilute the drug must be at room temperature, i.e. not less than 20 degrees.

According to the manufacturer's official instructions, 1-2 procedures can be performed per day, although in a severe situation, the doctor can increase their number to 4 times per day. You should not change the frequency of procedures on your own, after all, this is not a safe mucolytic, but a potent antibiotic, an overdose of which can have very unpleasant consequences.

If inhalation is performed for an adult, 250 mg of thiamphenicol should be used per procedure, i.e. we take the amount of solution equal to half of the prepared dose. Children can use only half of the adult dose per procedure, i.e. 125 mg of thiamphenicol or ¼ of the full dosage.

If necessary, the attending physician may increase the dosage of the inhalation medication. Usually, higher doses of the drug are prescribed or the frequency of procedures is increased in the first 2-3 days of treatment, if we are talking about acute pathology. Increasing the dose is unacceptable in the treatment of newborns and premature babies.

If the drug "Fluimucil - Antibiotic IT" is used for inhalation for the first time, doctors recommend doing an allergy test beforehand, i.e. a small amount of the finished composition should be applied to the inner surface of the forearm and left for 24 hours. Usually, an allergic reaction appears within the first 2 hours, but for greater persuasiveness, if there is no rash, hyperemia or itching of the skin, it is better to observe for 24 hours. In the absence of a negative reaction of the body to the drug, inhalations can be carried out with it.

After the prepared solution is poured into the device's reservoir and the mask is put on the face, the nebulizer can be turned on. For treating children, a mask is usually used that is attached to the head and covers both the baby's mouth and nose. For older patients, special attachments can be used:

• a nasal nozzle for inhalations for sinusitis, maxillary sinusitis and other diseases of the upper respiratory tract, where it is important for the medicine to get deep into the nasal passages,
• mouthpiece for inhalation treatment of bronchitis, tracheitis, pneumonia and other infectious and inflammatory pathologies of the lower respiratory tract.

Inhalations using special attachments are considered more effective than procedures that use a mask.

During the procedure, the patient should sit comfortably (for small children and seriously ill patients, a semi-recumbent position with the upper body raised is allowed so that the nebulizer remains in an upright position). Breathing should be smooth and calm. When inhaling with a nebulizer, it is not necessary to take a deep breath. Deep breathing is only necessary when treating the deep sections of the lower respiratory tract. After inhaling, you need to hold your breath for a couple of seconds, after which you should exhale.

If a mask is used, depending on whether the upper or lower respiratory tract needs to be treated, you need to breathe correctly. For sinusitis and maxillary sinusitis, you need to inhale through your nose so that the medicine penetrates the nasal passages and has a therapeutic effect there, and release air through your mouth. If you need to treat cough, bronchitis and other pathologies of the lower respiratory tract, inhale through your mouth and exhale through your nose, if necessary, coughing up phlegm from the bronchi, removing the mask and turning off the device.

What should you not do during inhalation with a nebulizer? Of course, talk. Ideally, during these 15-20 minutes, when the procedure is carried out, a person should be distracted from talking and all sorts of worries and focus on even and correct breathing, which will make the treatment effective.

Contraindications to the procedure

There is no doubt that inhalations with a nebulizer for inflammatory diseases of the respiratory system are a very effective procedure, significantly facilitating the removal of mucus and pus from the respiratory tract. This procedure is also useful for infectious pathologies if the medicinal compositions include an antibiotic. Moreover, such treatment has fewer negative consequences for the body than oral administration of antibiotics or their injection/infusion.

However, even such an effective and relatively safe procedure has its limitations. Doctors do not recommend inhalation procedures for patients diagnosed with the following pathologies:

• arterial hypertension (people with high blood pressure should consult a doctor regarding the safety of the procedure),
• other serious cardiovascular pathologies (inhalations are strictly prohibited for those who have had a myocardial infarction or stroke),
• severe cerebrovascular accidents may also be the reason why a doctor will not recommend such an effective procedure for respiratory diseases,
• pulmonary insufficiency will definitely be a contraindication to any inhalations,
• predisposition to nosebleeds,
• pulmonary hemorrhages,
• purulent tonsillitis.

A relative contraindication to the procedure is considered to be an elevated body temperature (more than 37 and a half degrees) or nosebleeds caused by a single mechanical injury to blood vessels (without a predisposition).

It is also important that nebulizers are allowed to use solutions based on purified or mineral water, water for injections or saline solution, no other solvents can be used in the devices. It is impossible to prepare a medicine for inhalation from the drug "Fluimucil" in tablets, because insufficiently small particles can clog the filter of the device.

Regarding contraindications to the drugs "Fluimucil" and "Fluimucil - Antibiotic IT" used for inhalation, they are not prescribed mainly in case of hypersensitivity to the components of the drug. It is undesirable to inhale the drugs during exacerbation of ulcerative processes in the gastrointestinal tract.

"Fluimucil" with an antibiotic is not used for inhalation in patients with blood composition disorders (anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia). If the procedure is performed by a nursing mother, it is better to stop breastfeeding the child for the duration of treatment.

"Fluimucil" (with or without antibiotics) for inhalation during pregnancy is not prohibited by the manufacturers of the drug, however, doctors prefer to prescribe such procedures infrequently and only if there is a high risk to the life and health of the expectant mother. During this period, a woman needs to be careful with any procedures, even if they use safe drugs. The possibility of inhalation must be agreed upon with a doctor at any stage of pregnancy.

Caution should be exercised when administering Fluimucil inhalations with an antibiotic to newborns and premature babies (it is better to perform the procedure in a hospital setting), children under 2 years of age, as well as in cases of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer outside the period of exacerbation, bronchial asthma and obstructive bronchitis, and severe renal or hepatic dysfunction.

Consequences after the procedure

Usually, if inhalations are carried out correctly, taking into account the recommended doses of the drug and contraindications to the procedure, the consequences will be the most positive. The antibiotic will reduce the activity of pathogenic bacterial microflora in the area of its localization (nasal passages, maxillary sinuses, bronchi, lungs, etc.), and the mucolytic will help liquefy mucus and pus and remove it along with bacteria from the body. The patient will stop having unproductive coughing urges, and phlegm will be removed much easier.

The troubles from using the drug "Fluimucil - Antibiotic IT" for inhalation can begin if you independently adjust the dosage of the drug and the frequency of the procedure. It is a well-known fact that antibiotics can change the microflora of the body, because they do not have a selective effect, and therefore destroy both harmful microorganisms and useful ones, which are necessary for the normal functioning of the human body and maintaining the acid-base balance.

So, an overdose of a drug with an antibiotic can change the bacterial flora in the mouth, throat, intestines, which will lead to the development of superinfections (beneficial bacteria are responsible for immunity, and if there are few of them, various viruses, bacteria and fungi, which until then were in a dormant state, begin to show activity).

The drugs called "Fluimucil", like other medications, have side effects that are more intense the higher the dose of the drug. We are talking mainly about nausea, irritating effect on the respiratory tract, resulting in a reflex cough, and sometimes bronchospasm, requiring urgent administration of bronchodilators, the appearance of a runny nose and inflammation of the oral mucosa, which in medicine is called stomatitis.

If an allergy test is not performed before the procedure, there is a certain probability that drug intolerance reactions may occur after or during the procedure.

You should not inhale a mucolytic and take cough suppressants at the same time. Such treatment will not give the expected effect, because it will slow down the removal of sputum, which also contains bacterial cells. In addition, you can get an unpleasant result when the mucus begins to clog the bronchi and prevent the passage of air.

If you do not take into account the contraindications to the procedure, then after it you can expect various complications, such as increased blood pressure and temperature, cerebral circulation disorders, bleeding, impaired consciousness, tachycardia, etc.

Care after the procedure

Inhalations are a therapeutic and preventive procedure that involves not only certain preparation, but also requirements for patient care after it. If inhalations are carried out with the drug "Fluimucil" with an antibiotic, this means that during the procedure there will be a fight against infection and inflammation, requiring the patient to rest and concentrate a little in order to breathe correctly.

It cannot be said that such a procedure is very tiring, but, nevertheless, it requires some effort and perseverance. After the nebulizer is turned off and the mask is removed from the face, the sick person will still need to rest, restore breathing, cough/blow their nose, because the mucolytic acetylcysteine in the composition of the drugs "Fluimucil" or "Fluimucil - Antibiotic IT", used for inhalation, will help the sputum to leave the bronchi or nasal passages as quickly as possible.

You should not do heavy work, be overly active, go for a walk, or smoke cigarettes immediately after the procedure. Doctors do not recommend eating or drinking for an hour and a half after the procedure. You need to give the medicine a chance to work effectively in the affected area, and the body should not be distracted by digesting food, but focus on fighting the disease.

Analogs of "Fluimucil"

The drug "Fluimucil" is a mucolytic (phlegm-thinning) agent, which has a form that is convenient to use for inhalation. It can be replaced by any of the following mucolytics:

• "Acetylcysteine" (for the procedure, a 200 mg/ml solution in a volume of 2-4 ml is used),
• "ACC Inject", which is a ten percent solution of acetylcysteine, used similarly to "Fluimucil",
• "Mukomist" with the same active ingredient (20% solution - 3-5 ml per procedure, 10% - 6-10 ml),
• "Ambroxol solution for inhalation (from 1 to 3 ml of solution per inhalation, it is better to mix in equal proportions with saline solution)
• "Lazolvan" in the form of a solution (contains the active ingredient ambroxol and is used according to the same scheme),
• "Ambrobene" in the form of an inhalation solution (identical to ambroxol in terms of active ingredient and application).

There are many other drugs with a mucolytic and expectorant effect that are used for inhalation for respiratory diseases accompanied by a difficult cough: Gedelix, Cough Mixture, Mucaltin (tablets should be crushed and dissolved in water), Pertussin, etc. Inhalations with the drug Sinupret can be used to treat sinusitis and sinusitis.

The drug "Fluimucil - Antibiotic IT" has virtually no analogues that could be used for inhalations, because acetylcysteine, like other mucolytics, does not combine very well with various antibiotics. If it is not possible to purchase "Fluimucil" with an antibiotic, inhalations can be carried out sequentially with a mucolytic, and then after half an hour with an antibiotic or antiseptic:

• "Dioxidine" in the form of a 0.5 or 1% solution diluted with saline in a ratio of 1:2 or 1:4, respectively (approved from 2 years of age),
• "Gentamicin" (antibiotic, toxic, use a 45-potency injection solution diluted with saline in a ratio of 1:6 or 1:12 if inhalations are performed on children),
• "Furacilin" (antiseptic, 1 tablet per ½ glass of hot water, after dissolution use 4 ml of solution),
• "Chlorophyllipt" (antiseptic, 1% alcohol solution diluted with saline in a ratio of 1:10)
• "Miramistin" (antiseptic, helps with purulent discharge, use a 0.01% solution of the drug, do not dilute for adults, dilute for children with saline solution in a ratio of 1:2).

Antiseptics and antibiotics are considered potent drugs that should be prescribed by a doctor. Thus, if there is a need to replace the drug "Fluimucil - Antibiotic IT" with others that are similar in action, this issue should be decided by the attending physician, and not the patient at his own discretion.

Reviews of the drug

If you look closely, you can find quite a lot of drugs on the shelves of pharmacies, the active substance of which is acetylcysteine. In addition to the above, there are other drugs with a mucolytic effect, provided by the same active substance: "Acestin", "Mukobene", "Mukrnex", "Exomyuk" and others. This suggests that acetylcysteine is a good mucolytic, which is in demand. And there is an increased demand only for effective drugs.

Reviews from those who used the drug for their own treatment or the treatment of their children confirm the opinion of doctors about the effectiveness of this drug, which has no serious side effects and the possibility of overdose. Acetylcysteine is generally a safe mucolytic that can be safely used for inhalation in small children.

As for the drug "Fluimucil - Antibiotic IT", despite the inclusion of a potent antimicrobial component in the drug, it is also easily tolerated by patients of different ages, if you adhere to the dosages and frequency of the inhalation procedure recommended by the doctor. Judging by the reviews, the drug is well tolerated by both adults and children, showing very decent results, so many patients prefer to seek help from it in the following times, as soon as the disease overtakes them again.

The ability to simultaneously liquefy sputum, including purulent, and destroy bacterial microflora during one procedure is quite an attractive feature, since it allows for a reduction in the number of procedures, which other drugs cannot offer. In addition, local application of an antibiotic is considered safer for the body than taking the drug orally or injecting it into the blood.

The medicine shows a very good effect in the treatment of sinusitis, helping to remove pus from the maxillary sinuses and actively combating the infection localized in a hard-to-reach place.

"Fluimucil" and "Fluimucil - Antibiotic IT" are considered to be quite popular drugs used for inhalation in respiratory diseases. Their effectiveness is confirmed by hundreds and thousands of positive reviews. But it is important to understand that even such effective drugs are not a panacea for severe infectious diseases that require a comprehensive approach to treatment. It is not always possible to limit yourself to local use of an antibiotic; often you have to additionally resort to systemic therapy. But "Fluimucil" with an antibiotic helps to reduce the dosage of antimicrobial drugs used in systemic therapy.
