1. What is Apitussic and what is it used for

Apitussic is a syrup intended for children and adults. It has an expectorant and mucolytic effect, making it easier to cough up mucus. It reduces the viscosity of mucus and facilitates its movement in the bronchi by stimulating the ciliary activity of the mucous membrane. The content of pine honey enhances the expectorant effect of the syrup. The use of the syrup does not disrupt the balance of the gut microflora.
