## Abstract

The present invention is directed to a medicine to alleviate and cure colds by reducing acid content and stimulation of increased mucus production due to the fact that active components of the substance consist of acid stanching components like proton pumps stanches, histamine-2-receptor-antagonists, mucus stimulating components as acetylcysteine and alginic acid. This together creates an optimal healing environment in the respirator passages.
