tacholiquin®

loosens mucus physically

Indications

Tacholiquin® or its active ingredient tyloxapol has been successfully administered via inhalation for more than 50 years. 

open/close

Tacholiquin® 1% solution is intended for the adjunctive treatment of a variety of airways and lung disorders associated with the formation of viscous sputum:

  • Acute and chronic irritation of the respiratory tract 
  • Inflammations

     - Sinusitis
     - Tracheitis
     - Bronchitis
     - Bronchiolitis
     - Pneumonia
     - Pseudo-croup (viral laryngitis in conjunction with coughing and shortness of breath)
     - Bronchial asthma
     - Bronchiectasis (abnormal widening of the bronchi)
     - Atelectases (non-ventilated parts of the lung due to partial collapse of the lung)

 

Tacholiquin® can also be used whenever the respiratory tract’s self-cleaning function is impaired:

  • Impaired breathing following surgery
  • Tracheotomy
  • clisturbances of consciousness

 

Babies from 3 month, infants, small children as well as adults benefit from this very well-tolerated preparation with its purely physical mode of action which does not affect the physiological conditions at the mucosa.

Tacholiquin® is suitable for inhalation and instillation. Commercially available nebulisers (such as PARIboy) can be used for inhalation. Do not use hot-water boilers.

Mode of action

Tacholiquin® contains the active ingredient tyloxapol.
Tyloxapol is a surface-active wetting agent or surfactant and has a mucolytic effect.

open/close

Its purely physical effect results from three important components:

  • Secretolysis: Viscous mucus is liquefied and can be more easily coughed up
     
  • Roll-up effect: Mucus is detached at its base, rolls up and can be transported away by the cilia of the respiratory tract.
     
  • Lower surface tension reduces the viscosity of the mucus. 
    ​Diseases with excessive mucus production in the airways inhibit the self-cleaning function which is normally ensured by ciliary activity. Tacholiquin® helps to restore normal activity of these cilia.
