If a very strong cough occurs, specialists prescribe antibiotics. Known drugs that help get rid of the symptoms of the disease and do not have a negative effect on the human body. These include "Fluimucil" - an antibiotic that acts on the lesion due to inhalation.
The composition and effect of the drug
"Fluimucil" is produced in 3 ml ampoules containing a 10% solution for inhalation. The active substance of the drug is thiamphenicol glycinate acetylcysteinate. A drug is produced in the form of a lyophilisate. To dilute the antibiotic, the kit includes bottles with liquid.
Each ingredient that is part of the fluimucil inhalation antibiotic has its own function. Thiamphemicol is not used alone. It prevents the propagation of pathogenic microflora and blocks protein synthesis in cells. It has an effect on various bacteria:
- E. coli;
- staphylococci;
- hemophilic bacillus;
- pneumonia streptococcus.
The second ingredient that is part of the drug is acetylcysteine, an agent with expectorant properties. Thanks to him:
- the ability of bacteria to attach to the mucosa decreases;
- the process of their reproduction slows down;
- liquefaction of sputum occurs;
- The process of its separation and excretion from the body improves.
Together, Fluimucil has a positive effect on the respiratory system and accelerates the healing process.
Indication for use
The medicine has no analogues that can be used in the complex treatment of respiratory pathologies. It has antimicrobial and expectorant effects. Inhalations are carried out using a nebulizer, which facilitates the delivery of substances in the form of fine particles to the lesion. The drug is intended for treatment together with other means.
An antibiotic has the following effects:
- falls into the lesion;
- promotes hydration of the mucous membrane;
- liquefies sputum;
- shows local effect;
- simplifies the process of its removal;
- helps to improve sputum secretion;
- speeds up the process of expectoration;
- cleanses the bronchi;
- has anti-inflammatory effect.
If viruses cause the pathology, and the respiratory tract disease is characterized by a cough, then Fluimucil, an antibiotic for inhalation, is used to alleviate the condition. Due to local action, the drug does not do any harm to the patient's body.
In ampoules "Fluimucil" combines an antibiotic and a mucolytic agent. In this case, the active substance accumulates in the respiratory tract and causes a therapeutic effect within 60 minutes.
The antibiotic has a positive effect in the following diseases:
- Bronchitis.
- Pneumonia.
- Tracheitis.
- Cystic fibrosis.
- Bronchiolitis.
- Sinusitis
- Sinusitis.
With its help, drainage improves with tuberculosis. Often, the drug is used to prevent complications during surgery.
"Fluimucil" can be used not only for inhalation, but also for washing the sinuses.
In some situations, experts advise, after diluting the substance to be instilled, to place cotton swabs in the nostril passages that are impregnated with the product.
The drug with sinusitis reduces the swelling of the mucous membranes and reduces the viscosity of the secretion.
Nebulizer preparation
According to the instructions for the use of fluimucil, an antibiotic for inhalation, the specialist prescribes therapy taking into account the signs of the disease. For effective exposure it is necessary:
- Buy the drug with the right dosage.
- Choose an inhaler for the procedure.
- Dilute the drug with the appropriate dosage.
- Spend the required number of procedures.
It is best to do inhalation with a nebulizer, which finely atomizes the medicine and delivers it to the most remote areas of the affected organ. When carrying out inhalation, the use of an ultrasound device is not recommended. It is able to destroy antibiotics. This action is possessed by ultrasonic waves that spray the drug. It is most effective to use a compressor apparatus that is able to regulate the size of small particles.
Before the procedure, it is recommended to do the following procedures:
- thoroughly process the device;
- Wash the hands;
- sanitize the mask for inhalation through the nose;
- make a special solution;
- pour it into the nebulizer container with a pipette or syringe;
- connect the mask and compressor after filling the solution.
After the preparatory phase, you should begin to prepare a solution for inhalation.
How to breed a drug
According to the instructions, the fluimucil antibiotic for inhalation is prepared the same for children and adults. The solution is diluted in a glass dish, but for children take half the powder. The finished product must be stored in the refrigerator for no more than a day.
To use a nebulizer with a Fluimucil solution, the product is diluted as follows:
- Carefully open the ampoule with the medicine and dilute with boiled water in a ratio of 1: 1. You can use a special liquid for injection.
- The solution must be diluted in a glass container, because the material from which the dishes are made can react with the active substance of the drug and weaken its therapeutic effect.
The drug bottle should be diluted in 4 ml of water for injection, which is included with the drug. A single dosage, which is recommended for adult patients, is 250 ml. The antibiotic Fluimucil for children is used in an amount of 125 ml. In the case of injection therapy, the dosage is halved.
All these recommendations must be fully considered when preparing a solution for inhalation. This can affect the effectiveness of treatment.
