Release form
The product is produced in the form of capsules that dissolve inside the intestine, 10 pieces per blister pack.
Pharmacodynamics
The medicine helps to facilitate the expectoration process, reduces the viscosity of sputum, and also has a fungicidal and antimicrobial effect. The medicine also has an antioxidant effect - it protects against the activity of free radicals and deodorizes.
Gelomirtol increases the activity of the ciliated epithelium, and in addition, by changing the pH level, it reduces the viscosity of bronchial secretions - improves the motor activity of the mucociliary system.

Reviews
Gelomirtol copes well with the elimination of sinusitis, tracheitis, and bronchitis - both in complex treatment and in the case of monotherapy.
Many reviews say that even antibiotics could not eliminate bronchitis, but after using this drug, all manifestations of the disease quickly passed - at first, there was an improvement in the process of sputum discharge, and after that, the cough also passed.
Taking capsules during treatment of sinusitis helps to ease breathing and speed up the release of pus from the nasal sinuses.
Many patients note the natural origin of the medicine, as well as the convenience of its use. But there are also some comments that talk about the presence of certain side effects - nausea and stomach pain.
