The main component of the syrup and Fluditec for children solution, which provides the drug with a mucolytic effect, is called carbocysteine. In 1 ml of syrup it is contained in a dose of 20 mg or 50 mg, and one sachet with a solution will immediately give 750 mg of this component.
The auxiliary ingredients of orange and green syrups are the same, with the exception of dyes and flavor. They are represented by glycerol, sodium hydroxide, sucrose, purified water and methyl parahydroxybenzoate. In the Fluditec solution, placed in a sachet, there is sodium saccharin, maltitol, hyetellose, sorbitol and water. This form of medication also includes methyl parahydroxybenzoate, sodium hydroxide and flavorings.

Operating principle

Fluditec for children affects goblet cells that are in the mucous membrane of the bronchi. In particular, the carbocysteine ​​in the composition of the drug affects an enzyme called sialic transferase. Such an enzyme is responsible for the secretion of mucus by goblet cells. The result of this effect is the normalization of the components of the secretion of the bronchi (sialomucins), the restoration of fluidity and viscosity of the mucus, which leads to easier sputum removal.
In addition, the medication stimulates the restoration of the structure of the mucous membrane and positively affects the ciliary epithelium. Carbocysteine ​​also has an effect on local immunity due to the restoration of mucus components, it acts as a non-specific defense, and activates the production of immunoglobulin A (such protection is specific).
After 2–3 hours, the medicine taken inside reaches the maximum concentration in the blood and penetrates the bronchial tissue, remaining in the mucous membrane for up to 8 hours. Withdrawal of the drug occurs in the urine.
