Mechanism of action

Mucolytic drug. The presence of sulfhydryl groups in the structure of the acetylcysteine ​​molecule contributes to the breakdown of disulfide bonds of acid mucopolysaccharides of sputum, which leads to a decrease in the viscosity of mucus. It has a mucolytic effect, facilitates sputum discharge due to a direct effect on the rheological properties of sputum. The drug retains activity in the presence of purulent sputum.

With prophylactic use of acetylcysteine, a decrease in the frequency and severity of exacerbations in patients with chronic bronchitis and cystic fibrosis has been observed.

Indications and usage

• Diseases of the respiratory system, accompanied by increased formation of viscous sputum difficult to separate (acute and chronic bronchitis, obstructive bronchitis, pneumonia, bronchiectasis, bronchial asthma, bronchiolitis, cystic fibrosis).

For cystic fibrosis: children over the age of 6 years, the drug is recommended to take 2 tab. (АЦЦ® 100) or on 1 tab. (ACC® 200) 3 times / day, which corresponds to 600 mg of acetylcysteine ​​per day. Children aged 2 to 6 years - 1 tab. (АЦЦ® 100) or on 1/2 tab.(ACC® 200) 4 times / day, which corresponds to 400 mg of acetylcysteine ​​per day. Patients weighing more than 30 kg with cystic fibrosis, if necessary, can increase the dose to 800 mg / day.

With short-term colds: the duration of treatment is 5-7 days. In chronic bronchitis and cystic fibrosis, the drug should be used for a long time to prevent infections.

The drug should be taken after meals. Additional fluid intake enhances the mucolytic effect of the drug.

Gastrointestinal: rarely stomatitis; very rarely - diarrhea, vomiting, heartburn and nausea.

Cardiovascular: very rarely - lowering blood pressure, tachycardia.

Allergic reactions: in isolated cases - bronchospasm (mainly in patients with bronchial hyperreactivity), skin rash, pruritus and urticaria.

Other: in isolated cases - the development of bleeding as a manifestation of hypersensitivity reactions.

Special notes

In bronchial asthma and obstructive bronchitis, acetylcysteine ​​should be administered with caution under the systematic control of bronchial patency.

With the development of adverse reactions, the patient should stop taking the drug and consult a doctor.

When dissolving the drug, it is necessary to use glassware, avoid contact with metals, rubber, oxygen, easily oxidized substances.

There are no data on the negative effect of the drug in recommended doses on the ability to drive vehicles and perform other activities requiring concentration of attention and quickness of psychomotor reactions.

Drug Interactions

With simultaneous use of acetylcysteine ​​and antitussives due to the suppression of the cough reflex, a dangerous stagnation of mucus can occur (use with caution).

With simultaneous use of acetylcysteine ​​and Nitroglycerin, the vasodilator effect of nitroglycerin may be enhanced.

Synergism of acetylcysteine ​​with bronchodilators is noted.
