The plant ingredients included in its composition have a complex effect on the body: they thin the mucus, expand the bronchi, eliminate the inflammatory process, strengthen the immune system, and suppress the activity of viruses. Sinupret regulates the intensity of mucus secretion, does not allow it to stagnate in the respiratory tract, facilitates its discharge, promotes the resorption of edema, restores the drainage function of the paranasal sinuses, providing free air circulation, facilitates nasal breathing, stimulates the protective function of the epithelium of the respiratory tract, has an immunomodulatory effect, increases the effectiveness of jointly carried out antibiotic therapy.
