Guacetisal (Broncaspin) is a bronchomucotropic synthesized by the Bayer Italia S.p.A. Research Laboratories. It is obtained from the esterification of acetylsalicylic acid with guaiacol. Guacetisal was used for the treatment of chronic bronchitis and other inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract. Guacetisal, used rectally, proved to be a valuable instrument for anti-inflammatory and anti-cough treatment in acute diseases of the airways in infancy.
