Action

The action of Acodin Duo results from two components: dextromethorphan and dexpanthenol.

Dextromethorphan inhibits the cough center located in the medulla oblongata. In the doses used, it does not inhibit the functioning of the ciliary apparatus of the bronchi (the structure responsible for the transport of secreted mucus).

Dexpanthenol, through its participation in metabolic processes, has a positive effect on the regeneration of the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract.
