Medicine Description avichest 2%
Avichest 100 ml syrup is a medication that contains carbocisteine, a mucolytic agent that works by breaking down the disulfide bonds in mucoproteins. This action reduces the viscosity of mucus, making it thinner and easier to expel from the respiratory tract. By doing so, carbocisteine facilitates the clearance of secretions from the bronchi, which alleviates symptoms of congestion and promotes more effective breathing. Additionally, carbocisteine has anti-inflammatory properties that may help decrease irritation in the bronchial mucosa, contributing to overall respiratory comfort.
