Among the huge number of analogue medicines, the time-tested Mukaltin still does not lose its relevance. Instructions for use of this drug describes it as an anti-inflammatory, expectorant and enveloping herbal product of local action. The expectorant property of “Mukaltin” is due to reflex stimulation, which enhances the peristalsis of the respiratory bronchioles and the activity of the ciliated epithelium along with increased secretion of the bronchial glands. Contributes to this mixture of plant polysaccharides. Sodium bicarbonate increases bronchial secretion and dilutes sputum.
The natural drug "Mukaltin", the instructions for use describe how it promotes the discharge of sputum from the tracheobronchial tree, which is achieved by increased secretion in the bronchial glands, which acts to thin the sputum, after which it easily departs during coughing, as it loses its former viscosity due to the extract of Althea officinalis root. The productivity of a wet cough increases markedly under the influence of the marshmallow root, which prevents the development of inflammation in the bronchi against the background of the propagation of pathogenic microflora, which is present in sputum, and also significantly prevents congestion in the bronchi. In turn, sodium bicarbonate present in the composition of the drug contributes to the full coughing up of sputum.
The mucus contained in the Mukaltin drug - the instructions for use indicate - significantly reduces the inflammatory process, the stomach (mucous membrane) is restored from irritation, and the regenerative process of the cells of the stomach is significantly accelerated due to its enveloping with plant mucus.
