WHAT FLUIMUCIL
IS USED FOR
FLUIMUCIL is used to treat breathing
difficulties caused by too much mucus
in the lungs and airways or the mucus
being too sticky to cough up easily.
HOW FLUIMUCIL WORKS
FLUIMUCIL
contains
the
active
ingredient
acetylcysteine.
Acetylcysteine belongs to a group of
medicines
called
mucolytics
which
work by thinning the mucus (phlegm)
so that it can be coughed up more
easily.
BEFORE YOU USE FLUIMUCIL
-
_When you must not use it_
-
If you are hypersensitive to
acetylcysteine or to any of the
other
ingredients
in
FLUIMUCIL;
-
If
you
are
suffering
from
active
stomach/intestinal
ulcer;
-
If
you
are
suffering
from
phenylketonuria
(genetic
condition
where
you
are
unable
to
break
down
a
substance
called
phenylalanine);
-
If
you
are
intolerance
to
fructose
sugar
(due
to
the
sweetener sorbitol);
-
If
you
are
intolerance
to
galactose (due to the glucose
and lactose);
-
Do not use in children under
2 years of age;
-
Do not use in children aged
less than 12 years (in case of
cystic fibrosis: children under
6 years of age).
-
_Before you start to use it_
Always
ask
your
doctor
or
pharmacist
before
using
this
product if you have
-
asthma, as you may need to
be monitored closely
-
history of stomach/intestinal
ulcer, as oral acetylcysteine
may induce vomiting.
-
intolerance to histamine.
If
you
are
pregnant
or
breast-
feeding,
think
you
may
be
pregnant
or
are
planning
to

CHARACTERISTICS
N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), the active
ingredient of FLUIMUCIL A exerts an intense
mucolytic action on mucous and mucopurulent
secretions, by depolymerizing the mucoproteic
complexes and the nucleic acids which confer
viscosity to the vitreous and purulent
component of the sputum and of other
secretions.
Furthermore, NAC, exerts a direct antioxidant
action, being provided with a free thiol (-SH
nucleophillic) group, which is able to interact
directly with the electrophilic groups of the
oxidant radicals. Of particular interest is the
recent demonstration that NAC protects the
a1-antitrypsin, enzyme inhibitor of elastase,
from the inactivation due to the action of
hypochlorous add (HOCI), a powerful oxidant
agent produced by the myeloperoxidase
enzyme of activated phagocytes.
These features make FLUIMUCIL A
particularly suitable for the treatment of acute
and chronic affections of the respiratory
system, characterized by thick and viscous
mucous and mucopurulent secretions.
Furthermore, the molecular structure permits
the molecule to cross easily cellular
membranes. Inside the cell, NAC is
deacetylized, forming L-cysteine, an amino
acid indispensable for the glutathione
synthesis (GSH.)
GSH is a highly reactive tripeptide, found
ubiquitously in the various tissues of animals
and is essential for the maintenance of
functional capacity as well as cellular
morphological integrity, as it represents the
most important protective, endocellular
mechanism against oxidant radials, either of
external or internal nature, as well as towards
numerous cytotoxic substances.
NAC plays a role of primary importance in the
maintenance of adequate GSH levels thus
contributing to the cellular protection from
harmful agents which, through progressive
GSH depletion, would b
