Well, when the grass, as the main active substance of the drug, it is useful for coughing with an expectorant or bronchodilator effect. But in fact bronchitis is not only a cough, but also a strong inflammation of the mucous respiratory tract. Symptoms of the disease can be: weakness, chest pain, fever, headaches. This clinical picture requires an integrated approach to treatment, which can be achieved by the simultaneous reception of herbs with various mechanisms of therapeutic action.

The same effect can be achieved by referring to the help of multi-component pharmacy herbal remedies. This may be breastfeeds or drugs based on several herbs, which have curative properties in bronchitis. We'll talk about them now.

Linkas

A popular drug is cough, bronchitis and other inflammatory diseases of the respiratory system, which consists entirely of plant components. And such components in it are not two and not three, but not less than eight.

What else is interesting about the drug? A variety of release forms, which makes it possible to use it in different patient groups. This and 3 types of syrups, one of which does not contain sugar and can be used in the therapy of patients with diabetes mellitus, and rounded lozenges with different flavors, and powder for the preparation of a healing drink, and balm on herbs.

Pharmacodynamics. In the composition of syrups and lozenges we find the following herbs: licorice, three-color violet, marshmallow, eucalyptus, mint and some other oils, the properties of which we have already considered in the article about herbs from bronchitis. But there it was about the most popular herbs, most of which are familiar to readers firsthand, and besides they can be cooked on their own, without going on a multi-day trip.

But such plants as adhashoda, hyssop medicinal, kalgan, cordia, zizifus, onosmata bracteate, pepper, pappa, baden, yellow-colored nightshade, basil are already familiar to everyone, and there may be difficulties with harvesting such herbal remedies. However, it is not necessary to belittle the role of these herbs in the curative effect of the drug with the unique "Linkas" composition. So the adhadota, the zizifus, the cordia, the badan have an excellent expectorant effect. Peppoli pepper is considered an effective antitussive with an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect, which also prevents allergic reactions. Kalgan and nightshade appear as excellent anti-inflammatory drugs with a pronounced bactericidal effect.

The composition of the powder also added: white willow bark, valerian roots, Chinese tea leaves, fenfel. Willow along with the calgary and basil helps to relieve the symptoms of fever (reduces body temperature) and inflammation, has an antiseptic and analgesic effect. Fennel contributes to easy expectoration and soothes the nervous system (like valerian), making the cough less painful.

As for essential oils in the balsam "Linkas", they together provide mucolytic, expectorant, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect.

Thus, the composition of the drug is selected taking into account all possible symptoms of bronchitis, which means that treatment with it will give good results.

Method of administration and dose. Syrups "Linkas" have a pleasant herbal taste that does not require dilution with water. Take syrups, suspension and lozenges, regardless of the time you eat. Treat the syrup of children can be from the age of 6 months.

Up to 8 years, children are given a medicine 3 times a day, for older patients the frequency of reception is 4 times a day. Up to 3 years of age, babies can be given ½ tsp. Sweet medication, then a single dose will be 1 tsp. For adults, the dose will have to be increased to 2 tsp.

Pastilles are prescribed only to adult patients and not more than 8 units per day with an interval between meals of at least 2 hours.

Powder is taken orally after it is completely dissolved in water. For 1 bag of powder you need to take 1 glass of warm water.

Balm is used for grits and inhalations. For inhalation treatment, 1 tsp is taken for 1 procedure. Preparation. The use of ointment for any procedure is recommended 3-4 times a day.

Treatment with the drug is carried out for 5-7 days. If necessary, the therapeutic course can be extended.

Contraindications. Any form of "Linkas" is not prescribed for patients who are hypersensitive to the components of the drug. Syrups with sugar, lozenges and powder should not be given to patients with diabetes mellitus and people with impaired glucose metabolism.

Ointment is not used on damaged skin and when there are local allergic reactions and irritation.

Caution should be observed for patients with liver, kidney disease, potassium deficiency, heart pathologies, obesity, and those with increased blood viscosity.

Pregnant doctors do not recommend using "Linkas", since such herbs as licorice can cause uterine contraction and premature birth. And during lactation it is better to beware of such treatment, because the reaction of the child's organism to "healing" milk is unknown.

With regard to age restrictions, lozenges and a solution of powder are considered medicinal forms for adults, although tasty and fragrant "candies" are quite successful in giving babies from the age of five. Ointment is allowed to use in the treatment of children only from 2 years, and syrups are quite suitable for fighting bronchitis in half-year-old carpoys.

Side effects. Treatment with the drug rarely causes the appearance of unpleasant symptoms. In most cases, everything is limited to mild allergic reactions, although with inhalations in isolated cases, Quincke's edema was diagnosed.

Increased blood pressure, decreased potassium levels and weakness during taking the drug are possible only with the use of pastilles, and even then the symptoms are possible in patients who already have problems with metabolism, heart or kidneys.

Storage conditions. It is best to store the medicine in a dark place with an air temperature not exceeding 25 degrees. In such conditions, safe treatment is possible within 3 years.

Features of the use of herbal preparations for bronchitis

Describing multi-component preparations on a plant basis, we did not mention their pharmacodynamics. This is due to the fact that it is simply impossible to trace the kinetic features of different plants in the composition of a single medicine. And is it necessary? After all, we are not talking about chemical components, whose long stay in the body can lead to all sorts of disruptions to his work.

A positive property of herbal preparations is also the possibility to use them as part of complex treatment, as negative interactions are usually not observed after them. The only thing that doctors do not advise to do is to apply simultaneously expectorant herbal remedies and strong antitussive drugs.

Before you rush to the pharmacy for drugs for cough and bronchitis, you still need to visit a doctor to establish an accurate diagnosis and recommend the most effective in each case, the remedy. If the doctor insists on taking non-natural medications, then there is some sense in this, and it is unlikely that it is connected with the need for financial assistance to pharmacies, because sometimes chemical drugs are even cheaper than their natural counterparts. Just with bronchial asthma and a tendency to allergies, the choice of herbal remedies can be noticeably limited. And severe pathologies often require the appointment of potent drugs.

If it is a question of the allergic nature of bronchitis, expectorants should be taken in parallel with antihistamines, otherwise the treatment may be delayed and not have the desired lasting result. And with infectious bronchitis, which, incidentally, do not happen so often, it is necessary to take antibiotics after determining the type of pathogen. Regardless of the type and form of bronchitis, you need to take vitamins and immunomodulators for a quick recovery.

In this article, we have described only a part of the preparations based on herbs from bronchitis. In fact, pharmacy shelves can be found many effective and safe medicines, which every year becomes more and more, as demand for them does not quench. All the same, herbal remedies have much less side effects and their negative impact on the body is minimized. But in the end, everyone chooses whom to trust: natural medicines or their synthetic analogues, which, perhaps, have a stronger and faster effect.
