Soviet cough medicine
The pharmaceutical industry has been developing at a frantic pace in recent decades. Companies involved in the manufacture and sale of medicines constantly fill the Russian market with novelties of both local and foreign origin. However, among a large assortment of pharmaceuticals many people still attract Soviet cough medicines. They do not lose their leading positions, and are considered one of the most purchased drugs.Why are Soviet cough medicines popular until now?
The fact that many are wary of the novelties of the pharmaceutical market and prefer the old proven means is a completely normal phenomenon. This attitude is especially characteristic for people of older and older age. There are several reasons for this:
- In Soviet times, in this category of people, children were small, often had colds, accompanied by cough. Parents remember what they bought drugs then, they know that these funds really helped. Relying on their experience, people of the older generation do not unfairly consider such drugs effective.
- Medicines for cough, which were produced in the Soviet era, do not have any newfangled additives, affecting their price in a big way. They are much cheaper than analogues, developed later even by the Russian pharmaceutical industry. And if you compare the cost with foreign drugs, it can differ even 5-10 times.
- Many modern cough medicines are very widely advertised on television or by the sellers themselves in pharmacies. Some people of the senior (Soviet) generation are characterized by such a feature that insistently telling them about the advantages of the goods causes them an absolutely opposite effect. They are worried and decide that they want to impose the purchase of a bad, low-quality medicine. Therefore, again, based on their knowledge and considering what was produced in Soviet times without alternative, they prefer drugs to their youth.
What Soviet cough preparations are on sale now?
If a person is not too puzzled about accepting only state-of-the-art pharmaceuticals, he can safely find in the pharmacy drugs that began to be produced before 1991. It is easy to find such a Soviet cough medicine, as:
- Bromhexine.
- Mukaltin.
- Extract of althea root.
- Pectusin.
- Cough medicine.
- Altein syrup.
- Grass of oregano.
- Pills for cough.
- The root is elecampane.
- Codeine.
- Syrup of licorice root.
- The Falimint.
- Pharyngept.
- Plantain syrup.
That's why you should not engage in independent selection of drugs for treatment, but you should consult a doctor. The specialist will determine the cause, which is caused by the cough, and prescribe the necessary medicine (even modern), and any pharmacist in the pharmacy will be prompted by his Soviet counterpart.

All expectorants for cough with bronchitis
When ORVI, bronchitis with a damp cough with poorly separated sputum, the use of medicines recommended either liquefy phlegm - mucolytic drugs, or facilitate its separation - expectorants for cough. These include both herbal remedies and synthetic preparations.
Many of us prefer to restrict the intake of medications not obtained from natural substances, however, it should always be remembered that any drug plant, whatever positive properties it does not possess, as well as synthetic agents have side effects, and has a number of contraindications.
Since the composition of all medicinal plants is very complex and saturated, in addition to useful and medicinal herbs, a lot of other, sometimes toxic, harmful substances are included in the herbs and preparations. Moreover, in our days, the majority of the population suffers from various types of allergies, and any drug, even the most expensive, effective and safe, can cause an inadequate body reaction.
Classification of funds that facilitate cough and promote rapid recovery
All means for cough relief are subdivided into antitussives, expectorants and mucolytic agents.
- Antitussives, as well as combination preparations - are indicated for dry, unproductive cough, disturbing sleep and appetite (see. article antitussives with dry cough).
- Expectorants - are indicated with a productive cough, when the sputum is not thick, not viscous.
- Mucolytic agents - are shown with a productive cough, but with a thick, hard to separate, viscous sputum.
Any cough medicine must be prescribed only by your doctor. Antitussive remedies can not be used to treat concomitantly with mucolytic drugs, but there are combination drugs that have a weak antitussive and expectorant effect.
Expectorants - means that stimulate expectoration are also divided into:
- Reflex action - these drugs have an irritating effect on the gastric mucosa, and this in turn It excites the vomiting center, but does not cause vomiting, but increases the production of mucus in the respiratory tract. The peristalsis of the smooth musculature of the bronchi and the activity of the epithelium, which removes phlegm from small to large bronchioles and into the trachea, is also intensified. The result of this irritation is the facilitation of expectoration of mucus and the removal of sputum from the bronchi. In general, these are herbal preparations - thermopsis, Ledum, mother and stepmother, althea, plantain, thyme, etc.
- Direct resorptive action - after digestion of these cough suppressants in the digestive tract, they cause irritation of the bronchial mucosa, thereby increasing the secretion of liquid sputum.
Mucolytic agents are preparations that dilute sputum:
- Mukoliticheskie means, affecting the elasticity and viscosity of bronchial mucus (ATSTS, etc.)
- Mucolytic agents that accelerate the excretion of sputum (bromhexine, ambroxol)
- Mucolytic drugs that reduce the formation of mucus (Libexin Muko, M-cholinoblockers, glucocorticoids).
Expectorants for cough reflex action
The use of infusions from the herb of thermopsis should be treated very carefully. At children at the slightest overdose there can be a vomiting.

Names of the most popular antibiotics for cough
Cough and antibiotics for many people are closely interrelated. According to sociological polls and statistics, more than sixty percent of the population of our country after a few days of severe coughing begin to take antibiotics. At the same time, almost half of them do not consider it necessary to first visit a doctor. This terrible mistake can turn into serious health problems, because this symptom does not always require the taking of medications of this type. In order to understand in what cases strong medicines are needed, and in which there are not, you should know what diseases can be cured with their help.Antibiotics for cough for which diseases are indicated for admission
It should be noted immediately that the names of such drugs, as well as instructions for their use, do not contain any information about the fact that they help to heal from this symptom. Therefore, choosing a suitable medicine, it should be remembered that such a disease as coughing does not exist. This is just a symptom that can accompany various ailments. So, there are no names of antibiotics that help to cope with such a sign.The cough medicine antibiotic helps cope with the disease only if it is bacterial. With viral infections, as well as colds, it is not advisable to take it.
Here is a list of diseases for which the doctor prescribes antibiotic drugs:
- Pneumonia. When pneumonia is ill, the patient is prescribed a cure for antibiotics of a wide range of action that successfully cough successfully. Similar means within five - seven days put in order lung tissues. With severe lung damage, injections or pills from cough antibiotics, can fight the main symptom and last longer. In this case the doctor considers it expedient to change them or prolong the course for another five to seven days.
- Tracheitis. At the initial stages, this disease is treated with anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as tablets and sprays, softening the mucous throat. However, if the disease does not recede within three to four days, the patient is prescribed antibiotics against cough and sore throat.
- Tonsillitis. With angina and cough, antibiotics are prescribed only if it is non-viral.
- Tuberculosis. This disease does not completely cure, but with proper treatment the condition of the body is maintained with the help of tablets and injections of antibiotics from cough.
Separately, we should say about the disease, like bronchitis. The bronchial asthma does not always require the use of such strong drugs. In some cases, the doctor decides on the need to prescribe only anti-inflammatory drugs. Antibiotics from bronchitis and cough apply for deep obstruction. Another example that confirms the need for their use is a strong chest cough with bronchitis, which also requires the intake of antibiotics.
