(If you have consumed too much 'acetaminophen', please see a doctor immediately) HOW STENAC EFFERVESCENT TABLETS 600MG WORKS Stenac Effervescent Tablets 600 mg contain Acetylcysteine. Acetylcysteine helps to reduce thickness of the mucus in the respiratory tract, and has been shown to dramatically effect in sputum. BEFORE YOU USE STENAC EFFERVESCENT TABLETS 600MG _- When you must not use it _ You are children below two years of age. You know that you are allergic to Acetylcysteine. You have inherited disorder that causes an amino acid called phenylalanine to build up in your body or you are allergic to aspartame (artificial sweetener). _- Before you start to use it_ Patients with asthma should be carefully monitored.

COMPOSITION Each tablet contains : Acetylcysteine …………………………………………………………………… 600 mg DESCRIPTION White to light yellow, round, flat-faced tablets, embossed with “ SYN ” on one side. INDICATIONS Reduce the viscosity of the secretion of mucous membrane of respiratory tract. Antidotes for acute poisoning: Acetaminophen overdose. ACTIONS (PHARMACODYNAMIC) Acetylcysteine is the main active composition in the effervescent tablets, through directly interaction with mucoprotein complex and nucleic acid then to disrupt the mucoprotein of phlegm into smaller clear units and thereby reduces the viscosity of the phlegm. Acetylcysteine as a mucolytic agent results from its sulfhydryl interacting with disulfide bonds in mucoprotein, with the mucus subsequently being broken into less viscous units. Acetylcysteine, an antioxidant, with active free sulfahydryl group can interact with reactive oxygen species. Acetylcysteine have a therapeutic application in preventing oxidative tissue injury induced by hypochlorous acid (HOCl). HOCl is toxic to cells because it initiates oxidative injury and causes the activation of phagocyte peroxidases, such as the neutrophil enzyme MPO. Acetylcysteine has been shown to dramatically reduce the viscosity and tenacity of sputum. The liquefying action is due to the presence of a free sulphydryl group which opens up disulphide bonds present in mucus. Pretreatment with Acetylcysteine may prevent lung injury by diminishing elastase activity; this diminished activity of elastase may be achieved by enhanced inactivation by antiproteases. It is concluded that acetylcysteine is useful for viscosity and maturative secretion of phlegm induced by acute and chronic respiratory system inflammation. In addition, the structure of acetylcysteine can transport through cell membrane and decompose to L-cysteine, the main component of glutathione (GSH), and maintains cellular GSH at a level. GSH, an antioxidant, protects cells from toxins such as free radicals. A Perskaitykite visą dokumentą
