Pharmacodynamics

The main active substance is carbocysteine, which is a synthetic substance that activates a particular enzyme of cells, and also lays the mucous membrane of bronchopulmonary tissue. Also with the help of carbocysteine, activation of enzyme activity occurs, the mucous immunoglobulin is synthesized, which provides reliable protection against viral and bacterial agents. With the activation of carbocysteine, the elasticity and viscosity of the mucus are normalized, which is released by the bronchi. This substance takes part in regenerative processes. Promotes the accelerated recovery of inflamed pulmonary tissue.

With a dry cough, the drug promotes its transition to a moist, productive cough. It is easily excreted outward, and the inflammatory process is also quickly eliminated. Such an effect can be achieved by changing the sputum composition. As for the wet cough, it becomes softer at the time of taking the drug. Refers to a group of mucolytic drugs, that is, drugs that contribute to the dilution of sputum and its excretion outside.

The main effect - mucolytic and expectorant, can be achieved through activation of the enzyme sialic transferase. The mechanism of action of this transferase is to normalize the normal relationship between acidic and neutral sialomucins. Sialomucines are drugs related to the number of drugs that restore the elasticity of the bronchi and the viscosity of phlegm. Also, sputum discharge is facilitated.

Also, the main properties of the drug is the restoration of the structure of the mucous membranes, the stimulation of the ciliary epithelium, which is aimed at restoring mucociliary clearance. Also, the drug promotes the reduction of sulfhydryl groups, which promote enhanced mucus clearance and normalization of immunoglobulin secretion.
