All expectorants for cough with bronchitis
When ORVI, bronchitis with a damp cough with poorly separated sputum, the use of medicines is recommended, which either dilute sputum - mucolytic drugs, or facilitate its separation - expectorants from 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 a medicinal plant, no matter what positive properties it possessed, as well as synthetic agents have side effects, and has a number 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 its turn excites the vomiting center, but vomiting does not occur, but the production of mucus in respiratory ways. 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).

- Immunomodulators (interferon).
The patient can not choose the drugs for inhalations. Only the doctor determines the cough medicines that are appropriate in each particular case, and reviews about almost every one of them can be found on the Internet in large numbers. They can be read for the sake of interest, but in no case can they be used as an indicator of the advisability of using an inhalation solution for all people.
Medicines for cough for internal use
The largest and most diverse group of pharmaceuticals is one that is used orally. A cough remedy for this category of medication can be produced in the form of:
- Tablets.
- Powders.
- Syrups.
- Weed.
At the heart of different drugs are different mechanisms of action on the body. Their choice depends on such factors as:
- The main ailment causing bronchospasm.
- The nature of sharp spastic exhalations.
- General condition of the patient's body.
- Presence of intolerances.
- Age.
Modern safe means from barking, suffocating cough and chronic will be different, even if it is caused by the same disease. And dry and moist reflex spasms are treated with diametrically opposite medicines, which in no case can not be taken in reverse or in parallel.
It should also be remembered that the doctor can prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs for painful cough, antibiotics, antiseptics. The substances contained in them struggle not so much with manifestations of an unpleasant symptom as with its cause.
Given the large number of medicines for cough and the factors that determine their choice, it should be remembered that self-medication is the worst option for getting rid of bronchospasm. Reception of any preparation, internal or external, should begin only after consultation at the doctor and appointment to them of the optimum scheme or plan of treatment.
