Fludibron Adult
Antitussive expectorant.
Nasal decongestant.
Fludibron Adult is an anti-flu syrup, based on Dextromethorphan, an antitussive that acts at the level of the central nervous system, suppressing attacks of paroxysmal cough by depressing the medullary center of cough. Linked to demulcent and expectorant substances such as Ammonium Chloride and Sodium Citrate. Pseudoephedrine is a vasoconstrictor, nasal decongestant.

Indications
Fludibron Adult syrup is indicated to treat flu symptoms such as: cough, nasal congestion, and bronchial congestion.
Fludibron is highly effective; since it acts in all forms of dry irritative cough with acute and chronic inflammations of the upper and lower airways, reducing the frequency and intensity of it, fluidizing and favoring the expulsion of mucous secretions from the congested airways, irritated by cough. Relieves allergic cough and annoying cold symptoms. Softens the irritated mucosa of the upper respiratory tract.
Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics
Dextromethorphan: In therapeutic doses, dextromethorphan acts on the CNS to inhibit cough without affecting the activity of the cilia. It is quickly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and begins its metabolism 15-60 minutes after ingestion. The average dose necessary to appreciate its therapeutic effects is 10-30 mg every 4-6 hours, its antitussive effect persists for 5-6 hours.
Pseudoephedrine: It is an agonist of alpha adrenergic receptors in the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract and produces vasoconstriction. It produces contraction of the inflamed mucous membranes, reduces tissue hyperemia, edema and nasal congestion, and increases the permeability of the nasal airways. Pseudoephedrine is incompletely metabolized in the liver. The onset of action is evident in 30 minutes, it is eliminated by the kidneys. The excretion rate increases in urine with acidic PH.
Sodium Citrate and Ammonium Chloride: Fluidize secretions to facilitate their elimination.
