[Therapy of bronchitis. Successful single-dosage treatment with N-acetylcysteine, results of an administration surveillance study in 3,076 patients].

Abstract

The efficacy and safety of N-acetylcysteine prescribed in general practice were investigated. Method: open, non-controlled surveillance study conducted at 744 centers.

Patients:

3,076 patients suffering from bronchitis. Medication: 600 mg N-acetylcysteine (Fluimucil-Long, Inpharzam Germany), administered as a single daily dose. End points: evaluation of coughing, amount and quality of sputum, expectoration, dyspnea, compliance and tolerance.

Results:

impressive improvement of the symptom complex, good compliance. Adverse reactions were reported in 45 patients (rate: 1.5%).

Conclusions:

treatment of chronic and acute bronchitis with the mucolytic agent N-acetylcysteine administered once daily, proved to be both effective and well tolerated.
