Broncho-munal capsules 7mg №10

Mechanism of action

Combined immunomodulatory drug of bacterial origin. Stimulates both the local cellular and humoral immune response in the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract and the systemic immune response. The drug stimulates the activity of alveolar macrophages, increases the number and activity of T-lymphocytes, activates peripheral monocytes, increases the concentration of secretory IgA on the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and digestive tract, stimulates the production of protective adhesive molecules, reduces the concentration of IgE antibodies in the blood, also increases the production of cytokines.

After taking the drug inside the antigen is captured by the APC cells of the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract. Antigen-stimulated APC cells enter lymphoid organs (for example, Peyer's patches), where they “present” the antigen to lymphoblasts. Then, antigen-stimulated and IgA-committed lymphoblasts migrate with lymph flow through the thoracic duct into the blood and with the blood flow into the mucous membranes (including the respiratory tract), where they are converted into plasma cells and synthesize IgA. Further, IgA is transported to the surface of the mucous membranes in the form of a double molecule, preventing the effects of infectious agents.
