The drug belongs to the class of plant mucolytics. GeloMyrtol is prescribed for infectious diseases of the respiratory system. Thanks to the herbal composition, an expectorant can be given to children and the elderly. Mucolytic can be used to treat people with diabetes, because one capsule contains 41 mg of sorbitol, which corresponds to 0.003 carbohydrate units.

Composition and form of release

The main active ingredient in the drug is myrtol. This substance is a distillate of essential oils of 4 plants: eucalyptus, myrtle, lemon and sweet orange. Phytopreparation is produced in enteric capsules. The tablet shell is made from a mixture of hypromellose, citric acid ester, talc and starch. Thanks to this form of release, beneficial substances are not destroyed by the stomach.

Pharmacological properties

Standardized myrtle has a secretory, fungicidal and secretolytic effect. It promotes liquefaction of sputum, irritation of mucociliary epithelium and easier expectoration of mucus. After cleavage of the pill by the intestines, myrtle begins to fight the causative agents of infectious diseases, penetrating with the blood into all branches of the bronchi and paranasal sinuses. Lemon essential oil, which is part of the drug, neutralizes free radicals.
GeloMyrtol is absorbed in the small intestine. The maximum concentration of the active substance in blood plasma is detected 3 hours after taking the tablets. 60% of an expectorant and its metabolites leave the body with urine, and 5% are excreted along with feces. A small part of the essential oils (less than 3%) is excreted through the lungs. Herbal medicine easily penetrates the placental barrier and into the milk of lactating women.
