WHAT IS ACEVIZ USED FOR
ACEVIZ is indicated for all
respiratory tract diseases leading to
the formation of thick secretions
difficult to be expectorated, such as
acute and chronic bronchitis,
laryngitis, sinusitis, tracheitis,
influenza, bronchial asthma and (as
complementary treatment)
mucoviscidosis.
HOW ACEVIZ WORKS
Each sachet contains the active
substance acetylcysteine.
Acetylcysteine belongs to a group of
medicines called mucolytics which
work by thinning the mucus

more easily.

PHARMACODYNAMICS & PHARMACOKINETICS
_Pharmacodynamics_
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Mycolytics, ATC code: R05CB01
N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), the active ingredient in Acetylcysteine 200
mg Powder for Oral
Solution exerts an intense mucolytic-fluidizing 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 other secretions.
Furthermore, acetylcysteine exerts a direct antioxidant action, having
a free thiol (- SH)
nucleophilic group that is able to interact directly with
electrophilic groups of oxidant
radicals. Of particular interest is the recent finding that
acetylcysteine protects α1-
antitrypsin enzyme inhibiting elastase from inactivation by
hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a
powerful
oxidant
agent
produced
by
the
myeloperoxidase
enzyme
of
activated
phagocytes.
Due
to
its
molecular
structure,
acetylcysteine
can
readily
cross
cell
membranes. Inside the cell, NAC is deacetylated to L-cysteine, an
amino acid essential for
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. It is the most important protective intracellular mechanism
against oxidant
radicals, both exogenous and endogenous, as well as toward numerous
cytotoxic
substances.
These featu
