In the work there are presened modern data on clinical effectiveness of mucolytics in the treatment of inflammatory respiratory diseases. There are described the mechanisms of impact of aciltcystein and ambroxol on mucociliary transport, as well and differentiated indications for prescription of combined drugs PulmoBriz and PulmoLor at diseases of the respiratory tract.

Key Words: inflammatory respiratory diseases, mucociliary trasport, mucolytic therapy, ambroxol, acilcystein, PulmoBriz, PulmoLor.
