It is the active ingredient of Mucosolvan, Mucobrox, Lasolvan, Mucoangin, Surbronc and Lysopain. The substance is a mucoactive drug with several properties including secretolytic and secretomotoric actions that restore the physiological clearance mechanisms of the respiratory tract , which play an important role in the body s natural defence mechanisms. It stimulates Biosynthesis synthesis and release of surfactant by type II pneumocytes . Surfactants acts as an anti glue factor by reducing the adhesion of mucus to the bronchial wall, in improving its transport and ... more details
