ACCЃ syrup is taken using a measuring syringe or a measuring cup in the package. 10 ml of ACCЃ syrup corresponds to 1/2 measuring cup or 2 filled syringes.

Using a measuring syringe

1. Open the bottle cap by pushing it in and turning it counterclockwise.

2. Remove the plug with a hole from the syringe, insert it into the neck of the bottle and press it in until it stops. The stopper is designed to connect the syringe to the vial and remains in the neck of the vial.

3. It is necessary to firmly insert the syringe into the stopper. Carefully turn the bottle upside down, pull the syringe plunger down and draw up the required amount of syrup (ml). If air bubbles are visible in the syrup, press the plunger all the way, then refill the syringe. Then return the bottle to its original position and remove the syringe.

4. The syrup from the syringe should be poured onto a spoon or directly into the child's mouth (in the cheek area, slowly so that the child can swallow the syrup). While taking the syrup, the child should be in an upright position.

5. After use, rinse the syringe with clean water.

lactation period (breastfeeding);

children under 2 years of age (syrup, granules for the preparation of oral solution / orange / 100 mg and 200 mg);

deficiency of sucrase / isomaltase, glucose-galactose deficiency (granules for preparation of oral solution / orange / 100 mg and 200 mg, granules for preparation of oral solution 200 mg and 600 mg);

hypersensitivity to acetylcysteine ??and other components of the drug.

The drug should be used with caution in patients with a history of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer; with bronchial asthma, obstructive bronchitis; hepatic and / or renal failure; histamine intolerance (long-term use of the drug should be avoided, because acetylcysteine ??affects the metabolism of histamine and can lead to signs of intolerance, such as headache, vasomotor rhinitis, itching); varicose veins of the esophagus; diseases of the adrenal glands; arterial hypertension.

Mucolytic drug. Acetylcysteine ??is a derivative of the amino acid cysteine. It has a mucolytic effect, facilitates the discharge of sputum due to a direct effect on the rheological properties of sputum. The action is due to the ability to break disulfide bonds of mucopolysaccharide chains and cause depolymerization of mucoproteins in sputum, which leads to a decrease in the viscosity of sputum. The drug remains active in the presence of purulent sputum.

It has an antioxidant effect due to the ability of its reactive sulfhydryl groups (SH-groups) to bind to oxidative radicals and thus neutralize them.

In addition, acetylcysteine ??promotes the synthesis of glutathione, an important component of the antioxidant system and chemical detoxification of the body. The antioxidant effect of acetylcysteine ??increases the protection of cells against the damaging effects of free radical oxidation inherent in an intense inflammatory response.

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

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption and distribution

The absorption is high. Oral bioavailability is 10%, which is due to the pronounced effect of the 'first pass' through the liver. The time to reach Cmax in blood plasma is 1-3 hours.

Plasma protein binding - 50%. Penetrates the placental barrier. There are no data on the ability of acetylcysteine ??to penetrate the BBB and be excreted in breast milk.

Metabolism and excretion

It is rapidly metabolized in the liver to form a pharmacologically active metabolite - cysteine, as well as diacetylcysteine, cystine and mixed disulfides.

It is excreted by the kidneys in the form of inactive metabolites (inorganic sulfates, diacetylcysteine). T1 / 2 is about 1 hour.

Pharmacokinetics in special clinical situations

Liver dysfunction leads to an increase in T1 / 2 up to 8 hours.
