It is a balanced compound, rich in biologically active substances including essential oils and flavonoids, possessing a wide spectrum of pharmacological activity. On the model of frog's palate the elixir enhanced the transport function of the ciliated epithelium. On the model "karragenin edema" bronchofit showed a marked anti-inflammatory activity. A noticeable therapeutic effect was registered in rats with induced bronchopulmonary inflammation. Bronchial secretion contained reduced content of glycosaminoglycans while bronchial lavage did of histamine.
