Mucaltin, tablets 50 mg 10 pcs

The remedy is of vegetable origin.

The marshmallow root contains vegetable mucus (up to 35%), asparagine, betaine, pectin substances, starch.

It has a coating, emollient, expectorant, anti-inflammatory effect.

The plant mucus covers the mucous membranes with a thin layer that remains on the surface for a long time and protects them from irritation.

The result is less inflammation and easier spontaneous tissue regeneration.

The protective effect of the film of plant mucus on the mucous coat of the stomach is stronger and prolonged the higher the acidity of the gastric juice (the viscosity of plant mucus increases in contact with hydrochloric acid).

Indications

Diseases of the respiratory tract (including laryngitis, tracheitis, bronchitis, bronchial asthma).

Pharmacological effect

Herbal product.

Marshmallow root contains plant mucilage (up to 35%), asparagine, betaine, pectin, and starch.

It has an enveloping, softening, expectorant, anti-inflammatory effect.

Plant mucus covers the mucous membranes with a thin layer, which remains on the surface for a long time and protects them from irritation.

As a result, the inflammatory process is reduced and spontaneous tissue regeneration is facilitated.

When exposed to the gastric mucosa, the protective effect of the plant mucus film is longer and more effective, the higher the acidity of the gastric juice (the viscosity of plant mucus increases when it comes into contact with hydrochloric acid).

Special instructions

The formation of a film of plant mucus on the surface of the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract not only provides a pronounced therapeutic effect, but also contributes to a longer local effect of other drugs.

As an expectorant, marshmallow preparations can be used in combination with sodium bicarbonate.
