pharmachologic effect
Mucolytic drug. Acetylcysteine is a derivative of the amino acid cysteine. It has a mucolytic effect, facilitates the discharge of sputum due to a direct effect on the rheological properties of sputum. The action is due to the ability to break the disulfide bonds of mucopolysaccharide chains and cause depolymerization of sputum mucoproteins, which leads to a decrease in sputum viscosity. The drug remains active in the presence of purulent sputum. It has an antioxidant effect due to the ability of its reactive sulfhydryl groups (SH groups) to bind to oxidative radicals and thus neutralize them. In addition, acetylcysteine promotes the synthesis of glutathione, an important component of the antioxidant system and chemical detoxification of the body. The antioxidant effect of acetylcysteine increases the protection of cells from the damaging effects of free radical oxidation, which is characteristic of an intense inflammatory reaction. With the prophylactic use of acetylcysteine, there is a decrease in the frequency and severity of exacerbations in patients with chronic bronchitis and cystic fibrosis.
Pharmacokinetics
Absorption and distribution Absorption is high. Bioavailability when taken orally is 10%, which is due to the pronounced “first pass” effect through the liver. The time to reach Cmax in blood plasma is 1-3 hours. Binding to blood plasma proteins is 50%. Penetrates through the placental barrier. There are no data on the ability of acetylcysteine to penetrate the BBB and be excreted in breast milk. Metabolism and excretion Rapidly metabolized in the liver to form a pharmacologically active metabolite - cysteine, as well as diacetylcysteine, cystine and mixed disulfides. Excreted by the kidneys in the form of inactive metabolites (inorganic sulfates, diacetylcysteine). T1/2 is about 1 hour. Pharmacokinetics in special clinical cases Impaired liver function leads to an extension of T1/2 to 8 hours.
Indications for use
Respiratory diseases accompanied by the formation of viscous, difficult to separate sputum (acute and chronic bronchitis, obstructive bronchitis, tracheitis, laryngotracheitis, pneumonia, lung abscess, bronchiectasis, bronchial asthma, COPD, bronchiolitis, cystic fibrosis); acute and chronic sinusitis; Otitis media
Use during pregnancy and lactation
Due to insufficient data, the use of the drug during pregnancy is contraindicated. For syrup: use of the drug during pregnancy is possible only if the expected benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. If it is necessary to use the drug during lactation, the issue of stopping breastfeeding should be decided.
special instructions
For bronchial asthma and obstructive bronchitis, acetylcysteine should be prescribed with caution under systematic monitoring of bronchial patency. Severe allergic reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Lyell's syndrome have been very rarely reported with the use of acetylcysteine. If changes in the skin and mucous membranes occur, the patient should immediately stop taking the drug and consult a doctor. It is not recommended to prescribe the drug to patients with renal and/or liver failure to avoid additional formation of nitrogenous compounds.

Acetylcysteine when taken at a dose of 500 mg/kg/day does not cause signs and symptoms of overdose. Symptoms: in case of an erroneous or intentional overdose, phenomena such as diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn, and nausea are observed. Treatment: symptomatic therapy
Side effect
According to WHO, undesirable effects are classified according to their frequency of development as follows: very often (?1/10), often (?1/100,
Compound
Active substance: acetylcysteine 200 mg; Excipients: sucrose - 2507 mg, ascorbic acid - 25 mg, sodium saccharinate - 8 mg, lemon flavor - 130 mg, honey flavor - 130 mg.
Interaction with other drugs
With the simultaneous use of acetylcysteine and antitussives, sputum stagnation may occur due to suppression of the cough reflex. With the simultaneous use of acetylcysteine and oral antibiotics (penicillins, tetracyclines, cephalosporins, etc.), the latter may interact with the thiol group of acetylcysteine, which can lead to a decrease in antibacterial activity. Therefore, the interval between taking antibiotics and acetylcysteine should be at least 2 hours (except for cefixime and loracarbef). Concomitant use with vasodilators and nitroglycerin may lead to an enhanced vasodilator effect.

How does ACC work?
According to the instructions, ACC is classified as a means of thinning mucus and facilitating its removal.
Acetylcysteine can make bronchial secretions less viscous. The mucolytic effect persists even if the sputum is mixed with pus.
This substance can also increase cell protection from the effects of severe inflammation and have a detoxic effect on the body.
In people diagnosed with cystic fibrosis or chronic bronchitis, preventive treatment helps reduce the number of exacerbations and make them easier to progress.
ACC®
A mucolytic agent that thins sputum, increases its volume, and facilitates the separation of sputum. The action is associated with the ability of free sulfhydryl groups of acetylcysteine to break intra- and intermolecular disulfide bonds of acidic mucopolysaccharides of sputum, which leads to depolymerization of mucoproteins and a decrease in sputum viscosity.
In addition, it reduces induced hyperplasia of mucoid cells, enhances the production of surfactants by stimulating type II pneumocytes, and stimulates mucociliary activity, which leads to improved mucociliary clearance.
Remains active against purulent sputum, mucopurulent and mucous sputum.
Increases the secretion of less viscous sialomucins by goblet cells, reduces the adhesion of bacteria to the epithelial cells of the bronchial mucosa. Stimulates mucous cells of the bronchi, the secretion of which is lysed by fibrin. It has a similar effect on the secretion formed during inflammatory diseases of the ENT organs. It has an antioxidant effect due to the presence of an SH group that can neutralize electrophilic oxidative toxins.
Acetylcysteine easily penetrates into the cell and is deacetylated to L-cysteine, from which intracellular glutathione is synthesized. Glutathione is a highly reactive tripeptide, a powerful antioxidant, cytoprotector that traps endogenous and exogenous free radicals and toxins.
Acetylcysteine prevents exhaustion and helps increase the synthesis of intracellular glutathione, which is involved in the redox processes of cells, thus promoting the detoxification of harmful substances. This explains the effect of acetylcysteine as an antidote for paracetamol poisoning.
Paracetamol exerts its cytotoxic effect through the progressive depletion of glutathione.
The main role of acetylcysteine is to maintain proper levels of glutathione concentration, thereby providing protection to cells. Protects alpha1-antitrypsin (elastase inhibitor) from the inactivating effects of HOCl, an oxidizing agent produced by myeloperoxidase of active phagocytes.
It also has an anti-inflammatory effect (by suppressing the formation of free radicals and reactive oxygen-containing substances responsible for the development of inflammation in the lung tissue).
What diseases does ACC help with?
Regardless of the form of release, ACC is used in the treatment of respiratory diseases, which are characterized by the formation of viscous secretions that are difficult to cough up.
The medication is prescribed for:
- tracheitis and laryngotracheitis;
