    Pharmacodynamics:

    The complex drug after absorption is split into an antibiotic - amphenicol and mucolytic - acetylcysteine.

    Amphenicol

    The chloramphenicol derivative (levomycetin) inhibits peptidyl transferase, disrupts the synthesis of cell wall peptoglycans prokaryotes. It has a bacteriostatic effect against bacteria that cause respiratory tract infections: Gram-positive bacteria (Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Str. Faecalis, Listeria spp.) And Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Salmonella , Shigella spp., Neisseria, Bordetella pertussis, Yersinia pestis, Bacteroides spp., Brucella spp.).

    Acetylcysteine

    Rapidly dilutes sputum, rupturing the disulfide bonds of mucoproteins, reduces the viscosity of the bronchial secretion and promotes its retreat. Oppresses the adhesion of bacteria to the epithelium of the respiratory tract, facilitates the penetration of amphenicol into the lung tissue.

    Pharmacokinetics:

    Amphenicol

    After intramuscular injection, the maximum concentration in the blood plasma is reached after 15 minutes. The connection with plasma proteins is 50%. It accumulates in the tissues of the respiratory tract in 50% of the administered dose. Penetrates through the placental barrier.

    Metabolism in the liver.

    The elimination half-life is 3 hours. Elimination by the kidneys, about 70% unchanged.

    Acetylcysteine

    After intramuscular injection, the maximum concentration in the blood plasma is reached after 15 minutes. The connection with plasma proteins is 50%. It accumulates in the tissues of the respiratory tract, liver and kidneys in 50% of the administered dose. Within the cells, it is deacetylated with release L-cysteine-an amino acid necessary for the synthesis of glutathione, which is an antioxidant factor of intracellular defense. Penetrates through the placental barrier.

    Metabolism in the liver to diacetylcysteine, cysteine, cystine.

    The elimination half-life is 2 hours. Elimination by the kidneys in the form of inactive metabolites.

    Indications:

    It is used for the treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases caused by microorganisms sensitive to amphenicol, with acute and chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, bronchopneumonia, emphysema, pulmonary abscesses, cystic fibrosis, otitis, antritis, laryngotracheitis and pharyngitis. Used to prepare for aspiration drainage, bronchography, bronchoscopy.
