Paspat is a medication that is used to help prevent recurrent respiratory tract infections in adults and children. It is a type of immunotherapy, which means that it works by stimulating the body's immune system to fight off infection. Paspat contains a mixture of inactivated bacteria, which are bacteria that have been killed. When the body is exposed to these inactivated bacteria, it produces antibodies to them. These antibodies can then help to protect the body from infection by the live bacteria.
Paspat is available as a tablet that is taken by mouth once a day. It is typically taken for a period of two months, followed by a one-month break. Paspat is generally well-tolerated, but some people may experience side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain.
