The Mucosolvin-Oral effect on physical features of sputum in bronchial asthma
Abstract
The aim of the study was to estimate what physical properties of bronchial secretion are changed under influence of “ Mucosolvin-Oral” (acetilcystein). 18 patients with various entities of bronchial asthma were examined. Viscose and adhesive properties of sputum were studied with the standard methods use before and after medication. It was found, that after the first day of medication the adhesion, elastance and viscosity decreased in general in 30%, and after the fourth day they decreased in 36.52%, 58.75% and 56.57% respectively.
Thus, mucosolvin improves significantly sputum excretion during bronchial asthma.
