Cough instructions for use

Pills for cough

To successfully get rid of cough, first of all, you should determine the type of cough and only after that go to the choice of a drug that helps to overcome, rather than aggravate the ailment.

Most of the cough medicines are dispensed without a prescription, however, it must be remembered that the path to recovery begins with the establishment of a correct diagnosis. Tablets from a cough, shown with one type of cough, are capable of harming in another course of the disease. That's why pay attention to your condition.

For exhausting attacks with a sore throat, not giving a night's sleep, you can recognize a dry cough. In medical circles, this type of cough is called unproductive, characterized by a lack of sputum, as well as pain in the muscles of the abdomen and chest. The cause of this cough is irritation of pharyngeal cough receptors. Cope with the problem in this situation will help antitussives, stopping the attack.

The productive type of cough is accompanied by the separation of the separated. Sputum preparations from bronchial tubes, trachea and lungs are facilitated by expectorants (increase production of detachable drugs) or mucolytics (dilute sputum). Some pills for cough by stimulating special cilia help to clear the airways.

Use of drugs containing codeine (narcotic substance) is possible in the most severe cases. Preference should be given to codeine in its pure form or its analogue dextromethorphan. With regard to combined drugs, they have an expectorant effect. As a result, on the one hand, such drugs facilitate the release of sputum, and on the other - consist of components designed to suppress cough, preventing the separation of the separated. The latter is unacceptable in the productive form of cough.

Indications for use of tablets against cough

The cause of coughing is not always respiratory diseases. Cough often accompanies infectious diseases of a viral or bacterial current, which include: laryngitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, pneumonia, bronchitis, tuberculosis, etc. The cause of coughing can be childhood diseases, for example, whooping cough, as well as allergic state. Coughing attacks characterize the pathological processes of the organic type of the brain, manifest themselves on the nervous soil, with cardiac disorders (heart disease, angina pectoris, etc.), with the defeat of the respiratory tract by aggressive environments. This list can be continued indefinitely. Therefore, it is important to establish and eliminate the root cause of the disease, and not solve the problem of coughing in any fastest way.

The choice of a cough pill depends on the nature of the cough. In conditions accompanied by a dry, excruciating cough, the means that depress the center of cough in the brain are shown:

• Combination preparations with the active ingredient codeine - "kodelak "terpinkod N "tercodin
• pastilles based on dextromethorphan - "alex plus
• substances with butamirate - "sinecode "omnitus "panatus".

Tablets "libexin" with the active substance prenoxdiazine soothe the cough receptors of the throat, keeping the respiratory functions and not causing pharmacological dependence. The drug is equal to codeine by the strength of the drug effect. Cough seizures are also a means for resorption based on menthol and eucalyptus ("pectusin"), as well as preparations from licorice - "glycyram"

With viscous, poorly draining and sparse sputum are effective:

• mucolytic agents based on bromhexine - "bromhexine "ascoril "solvin
• preparations with ambroxol - "ambroxol "kodelak bronho "ambroben "flavamed
• expectorating mucolytics of acetylcysteine ​​- "ACTS "fluimutsil "acetestin".

Indications for the use of tablets against cough with the active ingredient acetylcysteine ​​concern cases where it is necessary to increase the amount of detachable.

An expectorant effect is also achieved by the use of phytopreparations - "mukaltin "lycorin "pectussin "thermopsis".

In addition to the correct selection of medicines, it is important to ensure sufficient humidity in the room and drink more liquid (up to 6-8 glasses per day).

Form of issue

All pills for cough can be divided into the following groups:

1. drugs that suppress the center cough in the brain and affect the nerve endings of the receptors;
2. agents affecting smooth muscle structures and bronchial mucosa;
3. drugs that have a direct effect on bronchial secretion (sputum).

From the above, you can make an unambiguous conclusion that the treatment is selected individually for each case. An important form is also the form of the release of the product. Effervescent tablets and for resorption are characterized by a high rate of action and digestibility, but are unlikely to be suitable for babies. Very small patients are recommended sweet antitussive syrups. People suffering from peptic ulcer, hyperacid gastritis or having an increased acidity of gastric juice will be countered with effervescent antitussives.

The type and dosage of the drug is prescribed by the physician based on the symptoms, age and individual characteristics of the patient's body. For any pharmacological agent, regardless of the form of release, there are contraindications and side effects. For example, a popular drug for wet cough - thermopsis, consisting entirely of natural ingredients, is prohibited in the treatment of bronchitis and pneumonia in infants. Babies are not able to cough up a large amount of waste mucus, which in some cases provokes respiratory failure. In children under 5 years of age, a drug with an overdose provokes a vomiting reflex, is contraindicated in pregnant women and people suffering from peptic ulcer and 12-gut.

Therefore, before starting treatment, you should establish the correct diagnosis and get recommendations for taking antitussive medications from a specialist.

Pharmacodynamics of tablets against cough

To date, there is no universal cough pill, due to the fact that the therapeutic effect on dry and wet type of cough is fundamentally different. In the presence of dry cough, it is not advisable to use tablets for wet cough with a stopping effect, which will cause blockage of bronchial lumens with departing phlegm. Medicinal substances from the productive (wet) cough, which help to reduce the viscosity and easily withdraw phlegm, are useless in case of a dry cough caused by trachea inflammation, irritation of bronchial mucosa, influence aggressive environments.

Actively acting on the cough center, drugs are divided according to the principle of impact on: central, peripheral and combined effects. Pharmacodynamics of tablets against cough (the mechanism of action on the human body) is characterized by the properties of the constituent components. For example, drugs with narcotic substance codeine are effective enough for a dry, debilitating cough without sputum discharge. However, these medicines are released strictly by prescription, as they are addictive. Modern pharmacology has no less effective, safe, non-narcotic drugs that do not affect the respiratory center. To such accessible antitussive tablets carry - "либексин "тусупрекс" and others. They most often lower the receptor sensitivity of the bronchial mucosa (peripheral effect), but also can block the cough reflex. From this group of drugs there is no addiction, so they are used for cough therapy in children.

Multicomponent tablets for cough are effective for any course of the disease, excluding wet cough. Coughing in this case can disrupt the purifying capacity of the lungs, the withdrawal of mucus and lead to the development of pneumonia, problems with ventilation. Combined funds have the most impressive list of side effects and contraindications. It is also difficult to select the right dosage and the lack of the ability to combine them with other drugs.

When it comes to a damp cough, most often remember the popular tablets for coughing "thermopsis". And here the patient needs to be as attentive as possible. The fact is that the familiar and inexpensive means of "thermopsis" is now available in two formulations:

1. does not contain chemistry, includes only the herb of lanceolate and sodium hydrogencarbonate (possible therapy for children);
2. consists of codeine (narcotic substance), herbs of thermopsis, sodium bicarbonate and licorice root.

Consider the pharmacodynamics of this drug:

• codeine - is characterized by a minor sedative, analgesic effect, blocks the cough reflex without inhibition of the respiratory center and functions of the ciliated epithelium, does not reduce the amount of secretion in the bronchi;
• thermopsis grass (with active ingredients - isoquinoline alkaloids) - activates the respiratory and vomiting centers. It has a distinct expectorant effect, promotes activation of secretory function of bronchial glands, stimulation of ciliary epithelium and acceleration of mucus excretion;
• sodium hydrogen carbonate - causes the pH-shift of the bronchial mucus towards the alkaline medium and reduces the viscosity of sputum. Stimulates the work of ciliated epithelium and bronchioles;
• root of licorice - provides an easy divergence of secret due to the content of glycyrrhizin. Has anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic effect.

Pharmacokinetics of tablets against cough

By pharmacokinetics is understood the biochemical transformation of drug molecules in the human body. The main pharmacokinetic processes include - suction, excretory (excretory), distribution and metabolic properties.

Absorption of the tablet from cough occurs after dissolution, usually in the small intestine. Further, the molecules of the drug enter the systemic circulation. Absorption has two characteristics - the speed and degree of absorption (decreases when a pharmacological substance is used after a meal).

The distribution of the drug occurs in the blood, intercellular fluid and tissue cells.

The allocation of drugs is carried out in an unchanged form or as substances of biochemical transformation - metabolites that have higher polarity and solubility in the aqueous medium in comparison with the initial substance, which causes a simple elimination from urine.

Excretion (excretion) of the drug is possible through the urinary, digestive system, as well as through sweat, saliva and with exhaled air. The excretory function is influenced by the rate of receipt of the drug with the blood flow to the excretory organ and the characteristics of its own excretory systems. The most common way - the kidneys, bronchial glands and mucous respiratory system.

The pharmacokinetics of tablets from cough is based on the main active ingredient that is part of the drug:

• codeine - is characterized by a high rate of absorption, blocks the cough after half an hour after ingestion, provides a persistent antitussive and analgesic effect up to six hours. It is transformed in the liver, the half-life begins in 2-4 hours;
• glaucine hydrochloride - is well absorbed by the digestive system, transformation occurs in the liver, excretion by the kidneys (metabolites of the primary species);
• ambroksol - is maximally absorbed, excreted in urine;
• bromhexine - absorption reaches 99% in half an hour after use. In plasma it forms a bond with proteins. It is characterized by penetration through the placenta, accumulation in the liver, kidneys, fat and muscle tissue. Half-life occurs an hour and a half later;
• carbocisteine ​​- is actively absorbed and metabolized during the primary passage through the liver. The maximum concentration is observed two hours after oral administration. Excretion is carried out with urine practically unchanged;
• acetylcysteine ​​- has a low bioavailability (no more than 10%), which is explained by the formation of cysteine ​​during the primary passage through the liver. Peak concentrations - after 1-3 hours. Characterized by penetration through the placental barrier. For excretion, the kidneys respond, a small part of the substance in the unchanged form excretes the intestine.

Use of cough tablets during pregnancy

A pregnant woman before taking a pill from a cough should carefully study the instructions and consult a doctor. The specialist determines the cause of the cough, and prescribes the appropriate treatment. Coughing attacks not only infections of the upper or lower respiratory tract, but also allergic, neurotic reactions, stomach or diaphragm problems, thyroid disorders, cardiovascular system disorders etc.

The greatest danger is a dry, painful cough. Such seizures can increase intra-abdominal and blood pressure in a future mother, which can trigger the mechanism of premature resolution of pregnancy, placental abruption and even cause interruption pregnancy.

Most of the pharmacological drugs are prohibited for admission during the waiting period of the baby. However, the use of tablets against cough during pregnancy on the basis of plant components such as:

• "Mukaltin containing the grass of the althea. Take under strict supervision of the doctor three to four times a day, before eating. The duration of therapy is one to two weeks;
• sucking pills-candies based on eucalyptus (better without sugar) - the inclusion of the herbal mixture in them, usually, minimally. The positive effect is achieved due to the abundant production of saliva, which moisturizes and softens the pharyngeal region and larynx, where desires for cough arise;
• drugs with active substance dextromethorphan (suppresses the cough center) is prescribed for severe attacks, when it is impossible to eliminate the problem in another way;
• bromhexine in many expectorants is also often used to treat pregnant women;
• "Bronchitis" is a German medicine made from plant components. It is indicated for any type of cough (on a tablet three times a day, after a meal). The duration of the course is from seven to ten days;
• "Ambroxol" - dilutes thick viscous mucus, facilitates expectoration. Allow for the treatment of pregnant women under supervision of a specialist in the second / third trimesters;
• "Kodelak" - is not desirable during gestation, since codeine is a drug that can cause dysfunction in embryonic development, often generates heart disease. Assign only in emergency cases, when other means are powerless.

In any case, one should not engage in self-medication during pregnancy, even with traditional medicine. Oddly enough, even plant raw materials can harm with individual intolerance. The choice of the method of treatment, the dosage of the drug and the duration of the therapeutic effect are prescribed by the doctor strictly individually.

Contraindications to the use of tablets against coughing

Each medication has indications, contraindications and a list of side effects. Tablets for cough are selected on an individual basis for each patient. Particular care should be taken when treating cough in young children, pregnant and lactating women.

Combined antitussive drugs are not prescribed in cases of individual intolerance, during pregnancy and lactation, children under two years of age, as well as with the detection of respiratory insufficiency of the second / third degree and the presence of severe bronchial asthma.

The use of expectorant tablets is inadmissible in parallel with the intake of substances that depress the cough center and inhibit the cough reflex. This combination provokes severe inflammatory diseases of the lower parts of the respiratory system (for example, pneumonia).

Contraindications to the use of tablets from cough "thermopsis" apply to infants with bronchitis or inflammation of the lungs, because with abundant sputum, they can not clear their throats, which will cause a respiratory failure. Known tablets at high dosages cause nausea in children at the beginning of the course.

Mucolytics "bromhexine "ACTS "ambroxol" is not recommended during the exacerbation of bronchial asthma due to the threat of bronchospasm. "Bromhexine" is contraindicated in the first three months of gestation, to children under three years old, with the presence of a stomach ulcer, recent bleeding and individual intolerance. Tablets "ACTS" can be administered after the tenth day of life, but they are not used for pulmonary hemorrhage, stomach ulcer, hepatitis, in cases of renal insufficiency and intolerance to fructose. The drug is not combined with tetracycline, a semisynthetic group of penicillins, aminoglycosides, cephalosporins, as well as with other antitussive drugs in order to avoid stagnation in respiratory ways.

Effervescent or absorbable tablets from cough are famous for their speed of digestion and efficiency, however they are not suitable for therapy of patients with high acidity, gastritis and peptic ulcer stomach.

When choosing a cough remedy, follow the instructions, but it's best to visit a literate specialist who will determine the cause of the painful condition and write the most effective means.

Side effects of tablets against cough

Tablets from cough have their list of side effects - from nausea to drug dependence.

The drug "libexin" requires admission strictly according to the prescribed schedule (four times per day in accordance with the patient's age), without chewing to avoid anesthetizing the oral mucosa. A popular medicine "stoptussin" can cause diarrhea, headache, pain in the abdomen, dyspepsia, allergic reaction and dizziness. When taking "tusupreksa used in the treatment of dry, unproductive cough, in some patients there is a digestive disorder.

Side effects of tablets from the cough of the mucolytic group ("bromgexin "ACTS etc.) include the onset of bronchospasm, which is especially dangerous in the period of exacerbation of bronchial asthma. Such patients should prefer broncholytics without atropine. Admission of the drug "ACTS" in addition to the above is fraught with skin reactions, elevation of blood pressure, dyspepsia.

Tablets from a cough based on thermopsis are also capable of provoking an allergic effect (itching, rash on the skin, etc.) and cause nausea.

Medicinal substances from cough of narcotic content (for example, with codeine) cause pharmacological dependence, allergy. In case of an overdose, constipation, vomiting, delay in urine release, problems with coordination of eyeballs movement, weakness, respiratory center depression are observed.

If coughing attacks increase, and there is no opportunity to visit the doctor, then carefully study the instructions for the drug being purchased for contraindications and side effects.

Dosing and Administration

The specificity of taking antitussive drugs depends on the nature of the disease, the age of the patient, the individual characteristics organism, the presence of chronic diseases, the presence of addictions (for example, smoking), body weight and a number of other factors.

To establish the correct diagnosis, a specialist should appoint a proper treatment. The method of application and dose is also determined by the doctor individually.

Tablets for coughing "Libexin" or "Libexin muko" (with mucolytic carbocysteine, reducing the viscosity of phlegm) are used without chewing up to 4 times a day. Dosage depends on the patient's age and varies from the fourth part of the tablet to two tablets per one-time intake. The duration of the effect is up to four hours.

Tablets from cough "stoptussin" drink up to 6 times a day, since the period of partial elimination is six hours.

Duration of treatment varies from three to six months, which is affected by the complexity of the pathological condition.

Overdose

The reaction of the body to taking a pill from a cough can be completely different. In some cases, patients are concerned about nausea due to individual intolerance to the components of the drug. An overdose of an antitussive drug can provoke an allergic reaction in the form of itching, rashes on the skin.

Symptoms of acute or chronic overdose from narcotic tablets (eg, codeine-containing):

• blurred vision;
• sticky, cold sweat;

With respect to the interaction of tablets against cough with other drugs that cough the cough reflex, both codeine, it can be unequivocally said that the latter complicate the coughing up of diluted sputum and its accumulation in lungs.

A number of pharmacological agents strengthen each other's action. This effect is observed with simultaneous reception of "glycodine" with narcotic antitussive agents. In this case, "glycodine" often interacts with monoamine oxidase inhibitors.

Before you start taking any cough medicine, carefully study the instruction leaflet and do not forget to notify the attending physician of the medications you take.

Indications and instructions for the use of cough syrup Ascoril

Disease of the child always causes a storm of emotions in the parents. If he has a cough that does not give the baby peace, then the doctor prescribes a drug that can cope with this phenomenon. But how to find out that this tool will be effective and safe. After all, today there are many novelties, the action of which is not always clear and known. As medicines for cough, syrups are often prescribed.

Composition, form of release and its effect

One of the effective and tested drugs is "Ascoril" - a mucolytic agent with expectorant and bronchodilating effect. They can cure quite complex diseases.

This is a combination of four active ingredients: bromhexine, salbutamol, menthol and guaifenesin. Their ratio is chosen in such a way that these medicinal substances act simultaneously, supplementing each other:

• Bromhexine- antitussive substance, with expectorant action. It is able to stimulate the activity of the cilia of the epithelium on the bronchial mucosa and trachea. It also reduces the viscosity of sputum and participates in its prompt elimination. Doctors often prescribe bromhexine from a cough.
• Salbutamol- bronchodilator medicine. The syrup is presented in the form of sulphate. It is able to exert an active effect on the receptors of blood vessels and myometrium. It prevents and reduces the contraction of the bronchi, making their smooth muscles more relaxed. This substance participates in the production of endogenous surfactant, which envelopes the lungs from the inside and thus prevents the alveoli from sticking together, and also protects this organ from adverse effects.
  Menthol acts as an antiseptic, has a calming effect and helps relax the muscles of the bronchi.
• GuaifenesinIt acts as an expectorant that can dilute sputum, reduce its surface tension. It stimulates the bronchi to active motor actions and at the expense of this leads the phlegm out.

Thanks to such components, Ascoril can be used for dry and wet cough. But still more often it is used to dry the form of a cough quickly passed into the wet. This syrup is suitable for the treatment of chronic respiratory diseases, and is also used for acute their manifestations. Here you can read whether ascoril is used with laryngitis in children.

Forms of release

The tablet variant is widely used. It comes in the form of round pills of white color with a dividing risk in the middle for convenient use if a half dose is prescribed. Packs of 10 and 20 tablets are available.

Their main substances are: guaifenesin, bromhexine hydrochloride and salbutamol.Additional: silicon dioxide, methylparaben, calcium hydrophosphate, talc purified, magnesium stearate and corn starch.

The drug is also available as a syrup - an apricot-colored liquid with a pleasant taste. The volume of one bottle is 100 ml.

Main active ingredients: bromhexine hydrochloride, menthol, guaifenesin and salbutamol.Auxiliary: sodium benzoate, glycerol, micro-doses of sucrose, propylene glycol, sorbitol, purified water, citric and sorbic acid, colorant and flavors.

Application of the medicine

Ascoril is used for many diseases of the bronchi and lungs, accompanied by the formation of thick sputum, which is difficult to expectorate. Such diseases include:

• acute and chronic inflammation of the bronchi, as well as their obstruction;
• atelectasis of the lungs, in which the alveoli fall at the ends of the bronchi;
• tuberculosis;
• bronchial asthma;
• whooping cough (here you can read what to do if the cough does not go away after whooping cough);
• pneumoconiosis - lung disease. It can be caused by the constant inhalation of dust. For example, in production.In this case, the replacement of lung tissue by a harmful connective;
• emphysema - the disease is associated with the progressive expansion of their tissue, which is associated with the malfunctioning of individual alveoli;
• bronchoectatic disease - the formation in the bronchial system of some extensions filled with pus.

Ascoril is often used to treat babies. But if the child has a lot of liquid phlegm, then the drug can not be prescribed. It can aggravate the situation and fill with excess liquid all the airways.With a dry cough with a viscous and poorly lingering sputum, it is simply necessary.The drug stimulates its fastest withdrawal to the outside. This process is called transient, with it an unproductive cough becomes productive. Children under 6 years of age are not recommended, they will be replaced by syrup.

Reviews

• Marina, 26 years old: "Cough syrup "Ascoril" is produced in India. Now, medicines from this country are considered low quality and impact. But this drug is an exception. Its components do not act depressingly on the nervous system, as with other analogs. This drug is good for use in laryngotracheitis and laryngitis, especially if they are accompanied by shortness of breath. "
• Oksana, 40 years old: "I use Ascoril for about ten years. The product is tested on the whole family and is therefore used always at the first sign of coughing. In the first days it is dry, and this remedy is better than others to eliminate it and transfer it to the wet category. The first my experience of its application fell on the pneumonia that I had then, which proceeded in an acute form. I took Dr Mom syrup for several days before him, and then Bronholitin, and then the therapist wrote me out. It coincided that on the second day I was much better, that is, he accelerated my recovery. After that, I always buy only it. The syrup is enclosed in a 200 ml vial, thanks to an impressive amount of the drug it lasts for a long time. The taste of it though sweet, but gives some spices, but you can get used to them. You need to take syrup three times a day. I adjusted myself and increased the dose for the first two days, and then reduced it by half - as if I were being treated by a shock method. I accept it at the first sign of a cold, so as not to start it completely. The drug perfectly dilutes the accumulated fluid in the lungs or bronchi and quickly removes it. I did not notice any side effects from its use. "

It is associated with attacks of an angry cough with shortness of breath and is accompanied by a copious rhinitis. And in addition to all the temperature reaches 40 degrees. In the evening my baby had a bad cough. The next morning we called a doctor, and she advised this medicine. Explaining that this tool has mucolytic and expectorant effect. The syrup has a sugary taste and a sticky consistency, but he liked the daughter, and she drank it, not capricious. After a day of application, the baby became clearly easier to breathe, shortness of breath left, and the cough became less frequent, and its intensity decreased. The only side effect was a decrease in appetite. I liked its effect and speed, but without the doctor's appointment to take such a remedy I would not recommend. "
