Aeromuc 600 mg - soluble tablets

Aeromuc 600 mg - dissolvable tablets contain acetylcysteine, a derivative of a natural amino acid, as the active ingredient.

Application

1. What is Aeromuc and what is it used for?

Aeromuc 600 mg - dissolvable tablets contain acetylcysteine, a derivative of a natural amino acid, as the active ingredient. In diseases of the airways, viscous secretions in the airways can lead to a serious disturbance of lung function, damage the mucous membranes and make them susceptible to infections. Aeromuc loosens the tough mucus in the airways, makes it easier to expectorate and thus reduces the urge to cough. Breathing becomes noticeably easier.
The expectorant effect sets in slowly within 1-2 days. If you do not feel better or even worse for 4-5 days, consult your doctor.

Applications
For loosening mucus and facilitating expectoration in respiratory diseases with viscous mucus.
