Composition
100 ml of syrup contains:
Active ingredient: lysine carbocysteine monohydrate (in terms of lysine carbocysteine) 9.0 g.
Excipients: sucrose 40.00 g, cherry flavor 0.25 g, methyl parahydroxybenzoate 0.15 g, caramel 0.03 g, purified water to 100 ml.
Pharmacodynamics
Carbocysteine lysine salt restores the viscosity and elasticity of the mucous secretion of the upper and lower respiratory tract. The effect is dose dependent.
The mucolytic and expectorant effect of lysine salt carbocysteine is due to the activation of sialic transferase (an enzyme of goblet cells of the bronchial mucosa). It normalizes the quantitative ratio of acidic neutral mucins of bronchial secretion: reduces the number of neutral glycopeptides, increases the amount of hydroxyalogenoglycopeptides. Reduces the viscosity of the bronchial secretion and discharge from the sinuses, facilitates the discharge of sputum and mucus, reduces cough. It promotes the regeneration of the mucous membrane, normalizes its structure, reduces the number of goblet cells, especially in the terminal bronchi and, as a result, reduces the production of mucus. Restores the secretion of immunologically active IgA (specific protection), improves mucociliary clearance and antibiotic transport.
In addition, carbocysteine lysine salt stimulates the secretion of chlorine ions in the epithelium of the respiratory tract. This phenomenon is associated with the transport of water and, thus, with the thinning of the mucous secretion. Carbocysteine lysine salt increases the concentration of lactoferrin, lysozyme and α1-antitrypsin, which indicates the functional recovery of mucous cells of the bronchial glands and their mechanism of protein synthesis.
Carbocysteine lysine salt is a neutral compound (pH 6.8), it is soluble in water and therefore does not irritate the gastric mucosa, which allows you to assign a daily dose in one go.
Pharmacokinetics
Quickly and almost completely absorbed after oral administration. The bioavailability of lysine carbocysteine is mild (less than 10% of the dose) and does not depend on the dosage form. The maximum concentration of Cmax in the blood and willows of the mucous membrane is reached after 1.5 - 2 hours. The plasma half-life is 2-3 hours. As all derivatives with a blocked thiolytic group, carbocysteine lysine salt has the highest affinity for bronchopulmonary tissue. Fluifort syrup reaches an average concentration in the mucosa of 3.5 μg / ml with a half-life of about 1.8 hours (2 g daily dose). Complete elimination occurs after 3 days.
Excretion is carried out mainly by the kidneys. Part of Fluifort syrup is excreted by the kidneys unchanged (30 - 60%), the rest is excreted in the form of metabolites.
Indications for use
Acute and chronic bronchopulmonary diseases, accompanied by the formation of viscous and difficult to separate sputum (tracheitis, bronchitis, tracheobronchitis, bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis) and mucus (inflammatory diseases of the middle ear and paranasal sinuses - rhinitis, adenoiditis, otitis media, sinusitis) bronchography.

Side effects
The experience gained with the use of Fluifort syrup indicates that adverse reactions occur very rarely (frequency <1/10 000):
Disorders from the skin and subcutaneous tissues: rash, urticaria, erythema, bullous exanthema / erythema, pruritus, angioedema, dermatitis.
Gastrointestinal disorders: abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.
