INGAMIST®

INGAMIST® (acetylcysteine)

It significantly increases the efficacy of the treatment of acute and chronic respiratory diseases, accompanied by the production of the highly viscous sputum through:

• thinning of mucus due to the ability of sulfhydryl groups in acetylcysteine to break disulphide bonds of acidic mucopolysaccharides in the mucus, leading to depolarization of mucoproteides and reduction of mucus viscosity

IMPORTANT! The drug remains active even in the presence of purulent sputum;

• Restoration of the ciliary movement in the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract, followed by the excavation of sputum;
• Protection from damage due to inflammation of the structural elements of the bronchial tree and lungs:
  • the drug stimulates the secretion of a surfactant;
  • the drug has a cytoprotective effect;
  • the drug promotes removal of free radicals (antioxidant effect).
• Reduction of mucosal inflammation;
• The presence of the antibacterial effect and the ability to destroy bacterial biofilms, formation of which often leads to inefficiency of etiotropic (antibacterial) therapy

Indications:
Respiratory diseases, accompanied by the production of the highly viscous sputum (acute and chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, bronchial asthma, etc.).
