Go outside and find somebody who is French, and can speak French! It shouldn't be a problem in France! |

carbocistéine =
| quote: | A mucolytic agent is any agent which dissolves thick mucus usually used to help relieve respiratory difficulties. (hydrolyzing glycosaminoglycans: tending to break down/lower the viscosity of mucin-containing body secretions/components). The viscosity of mucous secretions in the lungs is dependent upon the concentrations of mucoprotein, the presence of disulfide bonds between these macromolecules and DNA.
Mucolytics: N-acetylcysteine: an aerosolized mucolytic agent often used as adjunctive therapy for pulmonary complications of cystic fibrosis (CF) in combination with vigorous chest physiotherapy. N-acetylcysteine acts to split the sulfide bonds in the macromolecules thereby decreasing viscosity, allowing for removal by normal chest physiology. The action of N-acetylcysteine is pH dependent. Mucolytic action is significant at ranges of pH 7-9.(1) |
dunno what "bronchorod" is though..
take one soup spoon full of the syrup... drink some thea with lemon and honey + take a paracetamol and take a quick nap.
that should make you feel better soon! :) |

Lol, fair enough.
You should call your doctor!
If he/she is not available, try calling a hospital, and ask for advise on taking your prescription medication. :) |
