Atusin®
What we should know about cough?
Cough is a natural protective reflex that helps the body remove mucus or foreign particles from the airways.
The airways (the nose, throat, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs) are an entry point for many infectious microorganisms. As a result, very frequently the respiratory ways are most affected by infections. Coughing occurs when specific receptors in the airways are irritated. These receptors send signals to the brain, which then triggers the cough reflex to expel the irritants. In healthy individuals, coughing effectively clears the airways. However, in inflammation of the airways caused by respiratory infections such as the flu, cold, or other bacterial and viral infections, the cough reflex may not be sufficient to remove accumulated secretions. Cough can be dry or wet.
A dry cough is not associated with increased production of mucus and is most often due to irritation in the throat and pharynx, causing distressful cough. This type of cough can be rather painful, as persistent unproductive coughing irritates and “scratches” the throat, and strains the chest muscles and the airways. As the illness progresses, a dry cough may evolve into a wet one.
A wet cough involves the production of mucus, which traps disease-causing microorganisms. The cilia in the lining of the airways help move the mucus upwards so it can be expelled through coughing. However, the mucus is often thick and sticky, making it harder to clear. This leads to mucus buildup, which can obstruct breathing and worsen the infection. Clearing the excess mucus is vital for recovery, and this process can be supported by remedies that assist in maintaining airways healthy and facilitate mucus expectoration.
Atusin® combines scientifically supported active ingredients that promote respiratory health, benefiting the lungs, bronchi, trachea, pharynx, throat, nasal mucosa, and sinuses.
The product is indicated for cough and rhinosinusitis.
Atusin® contains a blend of purified essential oils, the proteolytic enzyme bromelain, and green Brazilian propolis.
Ingredients
Mix of essential oils
Atusin® contains a mix of natural essential oils extracted from plants through hydrodistillation, including eucalyptus, sweet orange, lemon, and myrtle oils.
These oils are rich in biologically active compounds such as 1,8-cineole, limonene, and alpha-pinene. These compounds are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and help support normal airways function and the body’s natural secretion process.
Bromelain
Bromelain is the common name of a group of herbal proteolytic enzymes. Bromelain promotes the breakdown of fibrin and supports normal blood and lymph flow. Helps maintain the normal function of the respiratory epithelium.
Green Brazilian propolis
The aqueous extract of green Brazilian propolis contains a high concentration of organic aromatic acids. These acids are the primary biologically active substances that help maintain the health of the respiratory mucosa—benefiting the lungs, bronchi, trachea, larynx, pharynx, throat, nose, and sinuses, by promoting their natural physiological state – healthy and clean.
