Bronchipret

Bronchipret is a medicinal product that contains extracts from two plants: thyme and ivy. These plants are widely used in traditional medicine to treat respiratory diseases.

1. Thyme (Thymus vulgaris): Thyme extract has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and expectorant properties. It is often used to treat coughs, bronchitis and other respiratory problems.
2. Common Ivy (Hedera helix): Ivy extract has mucolytic (mucus-thinning) and expectorant (expectorant) effects. It helps reduce the viscosity of mucus and facilitate its passage from the respiratory tract.

Bronchipret is usually used for the symptomatic treatment of respiratory tract diseases such as cough, bronchitis, difficulty breathing and others. It may be available in various forms, including syrups, drops and tablets.

Before using Bronchipret or any other drug, it is important to consult your doctor or pharmacist for dosage and administration recommendations, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking medications.

Indications Bronchipret

1. Cough: Including dry and wet cough associated with respiratory infections, bronchitis, persistent cough and other respiratory diseases.
2. Bronchitis: Inflammation of the bronchial tubes, accompanied by cough, difficulty breathing, mucus and other symptoms.
3. Difficulty breathing: Including shortness of breath, panting, and other breathing problems associated with respiratory conditions.
4. Mucus in the throat and lungs: To facilitate the removal of mucus from the respiratory tract and reduce the accumulation of secretions in the throat and lungs.

   • Anti-inflammatory effect: Thyme has anti-inflammatory properties due to its antiseptic and antibacterial properties.

2. Common ivy (Hedera helix):

   • Broncholytic effect: Ivy extract has the ability to dilate the bronchi and improve airway patency.
   • Mucolytic effect: Common ivy helps reduce the viscosity of mucus and make it easier to expectorate.

Use Bronchipret during pregnancy

1. General recommendations:

2. Thyme extract:

   • Thyme is generally considered safe when consumed in normal culinary quantities, but use of medicinal doses of thyme during pregnancy may not be recommended without consulting a physician.

3. Ivy extract:

   • Like thyme, ivy is commonly used medicinally to relieve coughs and as a mucolytic. However, there are no precise data on the safety of its use during pregnancy.

4. Medical advice:

   • Before starting to take Bronchipret or any other herbal remedy during pregnancy, it is important to consult your doctor. Your doctor will evaluate the potential risks and benefits and help you make an informed decision based on your health and medical history.

Contraindications

1. Individual intolerance or allergic reaction: People with a known individual intolerance to thyme, ivy or any other component of the drug should avoid its use.
2. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: The safety of using Bronchipret during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been fully established. Therefore, in order to avoid negative consequences, its use should be agreed with a doctor.
3. Children: Bronchipret may be less safe for use in young children, so it is recommended to consult a doctor before using it in children.
4. Asthma: In some patients with asthma, herbal remedies such as thyme and ivy may aggravate symptoms and should be used with caution.
5. Liver and kidney diseases: If you have serious liver or kidney diseases, dosage adjustments or complete discontinuation of the drug may be required.
6. Weakened cough response: The use of Bronchipret can inhibit the cough reflex, which can make it difficult to expectorate and remove mucus from the airways.

Side effects Bronchipret

3. Respiratory reactions: Although uncommon, some ingredients may cause bronchospasm or other breathing problems, especially in people with asthma or other chronic breathing problems.

Overdose

Since "Bronchipret" is a homeopathic medicine containing plant extracts in minimal doses, an overdose is unlikely. However, if you take an excessive dose or if any unwanted symptoms occur after using the drug, it is recommended to seek medical help.

Interactions with other drugs

Because Bronchipret is an herbal remedy, information about its interactions with other medications is usually limited and may not be well understood.
