Gastric and duodenal ulcer in the acute stage, hemoptysis, pulmonary hemorrhage.
Due to the high content of the active substance, the drug should not be used in children under 14 years of age.
The effervescent tablet should be dissolved in a glass of drinking water and the entire contents of the glass should be drunk. The medicine should be taken without delay, immediately after preparing the solution.
Adults and children over 14 years of age – 1 effervescent tablet once a day (equivalent to 600 mg of acetylcysteine per day).
The duration of the course of treatment is determined by the doctor individually, depending on the nature of the disease (acute or chronic). The drug should not be used for more than 4-5 days without consulting a doctor.
Patients with bronchial asthma should be closely monitored during treatment due to the possible development of bronchospasm. In the event of bronchospasm, treatment with acetylcysteine should be discontinued immediately.
It is recommended to use the drug with caution in patients with a history of gastric and duodenal ulcers, especially in case of concomitant use of other medications that irritate the gastric mucosa.
Acetylcysteine should be administered with caution to patients with liver or kidney disease to avoid the accumulation of nitrogenous substances in the body.
Acetylcysteine affects histamine metabolism, so caution should be exercised when used in patients with histamine intolerance. Long-term therapy should not be prescribed to such patients, as this may lead to symptoms of intolerance (headache, vasomotor rhinitis, itching).
The drug should be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding only after careful assessment of the benefit/risk ratio.
Use for children over 14 years of age.
