Pharmacological action

PHARMACODYNAMICS

Acetylcysteine ​​is a derivative of the amino acid cysteine. It has a mucolytic effect, facilitates sputum discharge due to a direct effect on the rheological properties of sputum. The action is due to the ability to break the disulfide bonds of mucopolysaccharide chains and cause depolymerization of mucoproteins of 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, based on the ability of its reactive sulfhydryl groups (SH-groups) to bind to oxidizing 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 from the damaging effects of free radical oxidation, which is characteristic of an intense inflammatory reaction. With the prophylactic use of acetylcysteine, there is a decrease in the frequency and severity of exacerbations of bacterial etiology in patients with chronic bronchitis and cystic fibrosis.

PHARMACOKINETICS

Absorption is high. It is rapidly metabolized in the liver with the formation of a pharmacologically active metabolite - cysteine, as well as diacetylcysteine, cystine and mixed disulfides. Oral bioavailability is 10% (due to the presence of a pronounced effect of "first passage" through the liver). The time to reach maximum plasma concentration is 1-3 hours. Communication with plasma proteins is 50%. It is excreted by the kidneys in the form of inactive metabolites (inorganic sulfates, diacetylcysteine). The half-life (T1 / 2) is about 1 hour, impaired liver function leads to an extension of T1 / 2 to 8 hours. It penetrates the placental barrier. Data on the ability of acetylcysteine ​​to cross the blood-brain barrier and excreted in breast milk are not available.

• Lactase deficiency, lactose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption.

With caution - a history of gastric and duodenal ulcer, bronchial asthma, obstructive bronchitis, liver and / or renal failure, histamine intolerance (long-term use of the drug should be avoided, as acetylcysteine ​​affects the metabolism of histamine and can lead to signs of intolerance (such as headache, vasomotor rhinitis, pruritus), varicose veins of the esophagus, adrenal disease, arterial hypertension.

Use during pregnancy and lactation

Data on the use of acetylcysteine during pregnancy and breastfeeding are limited, so the use of the drug during pregnancy is contraindicated.

If you need to use the drug during lactation, you should decide on the termination of breastfeeding.

Composition

1 effervescent tablet contains:

active ingredient: acetylcysteine ​​600 mg

excipients: citric acid anhydrous - 625.00 mg sodium bicarbonate - 327.00 mg sodium carbonate - 104.00 mg mannitol - 72.80 mg lactose - 70.00 mg ascorbic acid - 75.00 mg sodium cyclamate - 30.75 mg sodium saccharinate dihydrate - 5.00 mg sodium citrate dihydrate - 0.45 mg blackberry flavor “B” - 40.00 mg.

Dosage and administration

Inside, after meals. Effervescent tablets should be dissolved in one glass of water. Tablets should be taken immediately after dissolution, in exceptional cases, you can leave the solution ready for use for 2 hours. An additional liquid intake enhances the mucolytic effect of the drug. With short-term colds, the duration of administration is 5-7 days.

Side effects of

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), adverse effects are classified according to their frequency of development as follows: very often ( 1/10), often ( 1/100, allergic reactions

infrequently: skin itching, rash , exanthema, urticaria, angioedema, decreased blood pressure,

tachycardia is very rare: anaphylactic reactions up to anaphylactic shock, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis (Lyell's syndrome).

From the respiratory system

rarely: shortness of breath, bronchospasm (mainly in patients with bronchial hyperresponsiveness with asthma).

On the sensory side,

is infrequent: tinnitus. From the gastrointestinal tract

infrequently: stomatitis, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dyspepsia.

Other

is very rare: headache, fever, isolated reports of the development of bleeding due to the presence of a hypersensitivity reaction, decreased platelet aggregation.

Drug Interaction

When acetylcysteine ​​and antitussive agents are used at the same time, sputum stagnation may occur due to cough reflex suppression. When used concurrently with antibiotics for oral administration (penicillins, tetracyclines, cephalosporins, etc.), their interaction with the thiol group of acetylcysteine ​​is possible, which can lead to a decrease in their antibacterial activity. Therefore, the interval between the administration of antibiotics and acetylcysteine ​​should be at least 2 h (except cefixime and loracarb). Concomitant use with vasodilating agents and nitroglycerin can lead to increased vasodilator action.

overdose

Symptoms: when mistaken or intentional overdose occurs, such as diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn and nausea. Treatment: symptomatic.
