Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
The drug has an immunostimulating effect, helping to increase immunity and strengthening the body's resistance to infectious diseases of the respiratory tract.
Taking the capsule leads to the accumulation of bacterial lysate in Peyer's patches located in the gastrointestinal mucosa, in particular, localized in the small intestine. The active substance of Broncho-Munal activates the antigen-presenting cells of Peyer's patches, which later become stimulators for other types of cells (B-lymphocytes), which are responsible for the development of specific immunity. The number of circulating B-lymphocytes increases, which leads to increased production of polyclonal antibodies, mainly IgG (immunoglobulin G) serum and IgA (immunoglobulin A), produced by the salivary glands and the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract.
Broncho-munal also affects non-specific immunity, being a stimulant of leukocytes, which is accompanied by an increase in the number of cells of the lymphoid and myeloid series, as well as a selective increase in the expression of receptors located on the surface.
In patients taking the drug, there is an increase in the protective properties of the body, which successfully fights against viruses and bacteria that penetrate into it.
Against the background of taking Broncho-Munal, there is a decrease in the incidence of acute respiratory tract infections, a decrease in the duration of their course and the risk of recurrence of chronic bronchitis, as well as an increase in the body's resistance to pathogens of infectious diseases of the respiratory system. This reduces the need to prescribe other drugs, especially antibiotics.

The pharmacokinetic parameters of Broncho-Munal have not been studied in detail.
Indications for use
- infectious pathologies of the respiratory tract - as an immunomodulatory drug as part of complex therapy;
- chronic bronchitis and recurrent infections of the upper and lower respiratory tract (otitis media, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, laryngitis, sinusitis, rhinitis) - for the prevention of exacerbations.

During the acute course of the disease, the drug should be taken daily for 10 or more days, until the symptoms of infection completely disappear. Further, it is recommended to continue the application in order to prevent relapse: 2 courses of 10 days, with a break of 20 days.

Cancellation of the drug is required when symptoms of a hypersensitivity reaction develop.
Overdose
