Cystic Fibrosis: Comparison of Two Mucolytic Drugs for Inhalation Treatment (Acetylcysteine and Arginine Hydrochloride)

Hans-Joachim Dietzsch M.D.1, Bodo Gottschalk M.D.1, Klaus Heyne M.D.1, Wolfgang Leupold M.D.1, and Peter Wunderlich M.D.1

1 Children's Clinic of the Medical Academy "Carl Gustav Carus," Dresden, German Democratic Republic

Clinical, bronchoscopic, spirographic, scintigraphic, and chemical analyses were done in 24 children with cystic fibrosis to assess the mucolytic effects of acetylcysteine inhalations versus L-arginine hydrochloride aerosols. The latter drug is less active than acetylcysteine and should not be used to treat children with cystic fibrosis.
