VISCOFLU 5 ml ampoules, 10 pcs.

Viscoflu is a single-use medical device for the treatment of respiratory diseases characterized by thick and viscous hypersecretion: acute bronchitis, chronic bronchitis and its complications, pulmonary emphysema, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, sinusitis, secretory otitis.

Physical / mechanical effects of VISCOFLU components liquefy thick and viscous sputum:

• Sterile, buffered hypertonic sodium chloride solution is removed from the cells and intercellular space by osmosis. It increases the water content of the mucus that covers the epithelium, making it more fluid and promoting its separation.
• N-Acetylcysteine ​​(NAC): A variant of the acetylated amino acid cysteine ​​that promotes mucolytic activity through direct contact with mucus. This activity depends on the presence of sulfhydryl radicals, which can cleave the disulfide bonds of the mucoproteins, which ensure the viscosity of the mucus by depolymerization. NAC also has an antioxidant effect that helps maintain the tropism of the respiratory epithelium.
