https://doi.org/10.15690/pf.v10i5.830
Abstract
When prescribing mucolytic therapy for bronchopulmonary diseases to infants, it is necessary to consider not only peculiarities of a small child’s respiratory tract, but also action of mucolytic drugs. The authors exemplify their data on efficacy and safety of the use of mucolytics in children under 2 years of age with acetylcysteine.
