mukolüütilised

Mukolüütilised are a class of drugs used to improve the clearance of mucus from the airways. They work by altering the structure of mucus, making it thinner and less viscous. This change in consistency facilitates expectoration, meaning the mucus is more easily coughed up and removed from the respiratory tract. This is particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from conditions that involve excessive or thickened mucus production, such as chronic bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, and other obstructive lung diseases.

These medications are often prescribed to relieve symptoms like chest congestion and persistent cough. They can be administered orally in tablet or syrup form, or sometimes inhaled. Common active ingredients found in mukolüütilised include acetylcysteine, carbocysteine, and bromhexine. While generally considered safe, some individuals may experience side effects such as gastrointestinal upset, dizziness, or allergic reactions. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations, as the choice and dosage of mukolüütilised depend on the specific medical condition and the patient's individual needs. They are not intended to cure the underlying disease but rather to manage the symptom of excessive mucus.
