ACTIONS :
Silopect possesses mucokinetic and secretolytic properties. It promotes the removal of tenacious secretions in the respiratory

Mucus secretion is normalized during Silopect treatment. Cough and sputum volume are often significantly reduced. The film –
like secretion on the surface of the respiratory mucous can thus perform its normal protective function. Long term use is
possible because of the good tolerability of the preparation.
