pharmachologic effect
The product has a mucolytic effect. Due to the fact that the structure of the molecule contains acetylcysteine sulfhydryl groups, the disulfide bonds of acidic mucopolysaccharides of sputum are broken. As a result of this process, the viscosity of the mucus decreases. ACC 200 also demonstrates activity in patients with purulent sputum.
If acetylcysteine is used for prophylactic purposes, in patients who suffer from cystic fibrosis and chronic bronchitis , the severity and frequency of exacerbations decreases.
Terms of use
The rules for diluting the medicine are specified in the annotation. To create a liquid solution, the simplest algorithm is performed:
- The package is carefully opened along the cut line;
- pour into a cup;
- pour 3200 ml of hot water;
- stir.
The manufacturer points out that you cannot pour boiling water over the medicine - just use hot water.
To get the maximum effect from the medicine, you must consider:
- that the prepared solution is consumed immediately after eating and cannot be stored;
- a hot drink is absorbed faster into the gastrointestinal tract and accelerates the expected mucolytic effect;
- if the patient has a low-grade fever or fever, then cool the mixture before taking it;
- You should not use a drug prepared more than 3 hours ago - it is no longer suitable and will not be able to perform its intended functions.
You can also drink other warm liquids along with the medication. They will replenish losses, accelerate the liquefaction of sputum and speed up recovery.
The list of special dosage regimens includes:
- The need for long-term therapy is daily intake of 400 to 600 mg, divided into several procedures. The duration of the manipulations should not exceed 3-6 months, the final dates are set by the local therapist.
- Treatment of cystic fibrosis - 200 mg three times a day.
If excessive secretion and cough continue after two weeks of therapy, then a repeat diagnostic examination and revision of the initial diagnosis is necessary.

PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION Mucolytic agent. Pharmacodynamics. The presence of sulfhydryl groups in the structure of acetylcysteine promotes the rupture of disulfide bonds of acidic mucopolysaccharides of sputum, which leads to a decrease in the viscosity of mucus. The drug remains active in the presence of purulent sputum. 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.
INDICATIONS FOR USE Diseases of the respiratory system, accompanied by the formation of viscous, difficult to separate sputum: acute and chronic bronchitis, obstructive bronchitis, laryngotracheitis, pneumonia, bronchiectasis, bronchial asthma, bronchiolitis, cystic fibrosis. Acute and chronic sinusitis, inflammation of the middle ear (otitis media).
CONTRAINDICATIONS Hypersensitivity to acetylcysteine or other components of the drug, pregnancy, breastfeeding, children under 2 years of age.
SIDE EFFECTS In rare cases, headaches, inflammation of the oral mucosa (stomatitis) and tinnitus are observed. Extremely rare - diarrhea, vomiting, heartburn and nausea, drop in blood pressure, increase in heart rate (tachycardia). In isolated cases, allergic reactions such as bronchospasm (mainly in patients with bronchial hyperreactivity), skin rash, itching and urticaria are observed. In addition, there are isolated reports of bleeding due to hypersensitivity reactions. If side effects develop, you should stop taking the drug and consult a doctor.
INTERACTION With the simultaneous use of acetylcysteine and antitussives, mucus stagnation may occur due to suppression of the cough reflex. Therefore, such combinations should be selected with caution. The simultaneous use of acetylcysteine and nitroglycerin can lead to an increase in the vasodilatory effect of the latter. Pharmaceutically incompatible with antibiotics (penicillins, cephalosporins, erythromycin, tetracycline and amphotericin B) and proteolytic enzymes. Upon contact with metals and rubber, sulfides with a characteristic odor are formed. Reduces the absorption of penicillins, cephalosporins, tetracycline (they should be taken no earlier than 2 hours after ingestion of acetylcysteine).
METHOD OF APPLICATION AND DOSAGE In the absence of other prescriptions, it is recommended to adhere to the following dosages: Mucolytic therapy. Adults and adolescents over 14 years of age are recommended to take 1 sachet 2 - 3 times a day (400 - 600 mg per day).

OVERDOSE In case of erroneous or intentional overdose, phenomena such as diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn and nausea are observed. To date, no severe or life-threatening side effects have been observed.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS With caution - peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum in the acute stage; hemoptysis, pulmonary hemorrhage, esophageal varices, bronchial asthma, adrenal diseases, liver and/or kidney failure. Pregnancy and breastfeeding For safety reasons, due to insufficient data, the use of the drug during pregnancy and breastfeeding is only possible if the expected benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus or infant. For patients with bronchial asthma and obstructive bronchitis, acetylcysteine should be prescribed with caution under systematic monitoring of bronchial patency. When treating patients with diabetes, it is necessary to take into account that the drug contains sucrose. When working with the drug, you must use glass containers and avoid contact with metals, rubber, oxygen, and easily oxidized substances.
STORAGE CONDITIONS Store in a dry place, protected from light, at a temperature not exceeding 25 C.
Interaction
It should be borne in mind that when taking ACC 200 and other cough suppressants simultaneously, dangerous mucus stagnation may develop due to the fact that the cough reflex is suppressed. Therefore, such drugs must be combined carefully.
Acetylcysteine may enhance the vasodilatory effect of Nitroglycerin if these drugs are taken simultaneously.
There is a synergism between acetylcysteine and bronchodilators.
Acetylcysteine is not compatible pharmaceutically with antibiotics (penicillins, cephalosporins, Amphotericin B , Erythromycin , Tetracycline ) and proteolytic enzymes .
When taken simultaneously, acetylcysteine reduces the absorption of tetracycline, cephalosporins, and penicillins. Therefore, you need to take such drugs at intervals of at least two hours.
If acetylcysteine comes into contact with rubber or metals, sulfides are formed, which have a characteristic odor.
