Expectorants

Expectorants are drugs that greatly facilitate the withdrawal of sputum (viscous mucus) from the person's airways.

Coughing is a disease that can occur at any time of the year. Therefore, you need to arm yourself with expectorants, perhaps many of them are familiar to you, or maybe not. Therefore, I will list the most effective of them. There is a huge number of names before you can properly choose expectorants should consult a doctor-therapist.

1) "Bromhexine". Produced in the form of tablets, for sure he is known to many, since he is appointed for a long time. It has antitussive, expectorant and mucolytic effects. Children are appointed from three years.

It should be noted that expectorant drugs cause a strong cough (which help to remove mucus from the body), so be prepared for it.

2) "Broncholitin". Bronchodilator, antitussive drug. Issue in the form of syrup. Children are appointed from the age of three. The dosage is established by the attending physician.

3) Narrative anise drops. Expectorant preparations of plant nature clean the bronchi well, so this drug should be given credit. You can give the children, you should start from the age of the child, for example, if the baby is 2 years old - drops and so on.

4) "Mukaltin". The same applies to the group "Expectorants on plant basis." Before use, first dissolve in warm water. Apply before meals.

5) "Pertussin". It is a combined expectorant. The basis of plant grass. Produced in the form of syrup. Adults usually appoint 1 teaspoon of syrup up to 3 times a day, children - half a teaspoon, as well as up to 3 times a day.

6) Tusuprex. Antitussive drug. These expectorant pills adults are prescribed 1 to 4 times a day, children in half - up to 3 times a day.

7) Thoracic elixir. Available in the form of drops. It is an antitussive and expectorant. Adults appoint 20-40 drops, the frequency of the appointment is determined by the attending physician. Children are given with caution and only after consulting a pediatrician.

8) Licorice root. Produced in the form of syrup. Antiallergic, anti-inflammatory, expectorant. Increases the body's resistance to infections of various kinds.

9) "Lazolvan" (or "Ambroxol"). By its nature is a metabolite of "Bromhexine", but several times more effective. It is available in the form of tablets, syrup and solution for inhalation. Syrup in adults is used on a teaspoon 3 times a day. Inhalation according to the doctor's indications.

Unfortunately, a person is not protected from diseases in special physiological conditions - during pregnancy or lactation. Therefore, it is important to choose the right expectorant in lactation. Many drugs in this important period for women are prohibited, for the simple reason that active substances can enter the body of a baby with breast milk. And this is not good.

Of course, you can do self-medication, make grass on the grandmother's prescription, but there is no guarantee that the child will not suffer from such treatment. This also makes it difficult for the mother to treat during the period of breastfeeding.

The list of acceptable drugs is rather small. Among them, you can select "Herbion." It is produced in the form of syrup. Has mucolytic, anti-inflammatory and expectorant properties. It is contraindicated for individual intolerance of the components that make up its composition. But most often it does not cause side effects. Assign adults to 10 ml of syrup - 3 times a day. Duration of treatment can vary from 10 days to 20 days.

Remember that no one cares about your health except you, so do not delay the visit to the doctor. Be healthy!
