The problem of treating a cough of different originworries humanity throughout its history, because with this unpleasant symptom-complex every person faces, at least several times a year. The drugs used to treat the pathology of the respiratory system have been created and improved over a long period of time, and the ATS, the instruction manual for which contains complete information for both the doctor and the patient, is currently one of the most sought-after cough medicines.
Mechanism of therapeutic action ATSTS
It should be noted that coughing is a complicatedreflex act, during which an attempt is made to reflex purification of the respiratory tree when stimulating the receptors, which are located practically in any part of the respiratory tract. The development of the inflammatory process in each case undergoes several stages, and at the onset of the disease inflammatory phenomena predominate over the exudative, and therefore the cough remains unproductive, "dry". With the further development of the process, sputum formation processes begin to predominate over the processes of inflammation, and a "wet" cough is formed, which, in fact, is prescribed for ACS. The medication taken orally is rapidly absorbed from the digestive tract and secreted by the cells of the ciliated epithelium into the lumen of the respiratory tract, which facilitates the escape of sputum.
ATSs, the instruction for the application of which should becarefully studied before the start of taking the drug by both the patient and the doctor who prescribes this drug, destroys intermolecular bonds in the secretion of the respiratory tract, whereby sputum is broken up into small fragments and is actively excreted from the patient's body. The main active substance of this drug is acetylcysteine. It must be remembered that this remedy is available in various dosage forms, and the abstract will help you find the correct one. ATSTS today on the shelves of pharmacies is presented in the form of soluble tablets with age-related dosages for patients of any age, long-pills, prescribed only for adults, and granules for the preparation of syrup with orange flavor, widely used in pediatric practice.
Indications for use ATSTS
It should be remembered that any form of drugsacetylcysteine, including ATSTS, instructions for use which contains a complete list of conditions and diseases for which mucolytics are used, should be prescribed only by a qualified and competent doctor. When using this drug in the stage of a "dry", unproductive cough (in the onset of acute respiratory viral infection, influenza or tracheitis) leads to a worsening of the patient's condition precisely because there is no morphological substrate on which the drug acts - phlegm. Most doctors do not get tired of warning their patients that the use of the drug is not a full-fledged replacement for complex therapy of respiratory system diseases. Accordingly, in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the respiratory apparatus (acute respiratory infections, chronic and bronchitis, tracheitis, pneumonia, sinusitis) must necessarily include antibacterial or antiviral drugs, vitamins, sufficient amounts of drinking, thoughtful application of physiotherapy and physiotherapy procedures.
In addition, ATSTS, instructions for usewhich gives answers to all questions arising in patients and their relatives, can be prescribed for the symptomatic treatment of a genetic disease - cystic fibrosis. In this case, the age dosage of the drug, the regimen of application and the duration of treatment should be prescribed by a physician (therapist, pulmonologist, pediatrician).
