Dry cough syrup: release form and application features

Licorice (licorice, licorice) is part of the legume family and is native to temperate climates.

The medicinal properties of the plant became known more than five centuries ago; the first description of licorice dates back to the treatise “Beo-tsao”, which was written by the legendary ruler of China Shen-nun, who is rightfully considered one of the founders of herbal treatment.

It was believed that for old people and children, consuming licorice extracts was preferable to ginseng extracts.

Another ancient mention of licorice is recorded in the medical encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt - “Papyrus of Ebres”. There it is described as a remedy that has anti-inflammatory and restorative effects and is used by the Sumerians and Egyptians.

Later descriptions of licorice can be found in the notes of the medieval French physician Odo, who practiced healing in the city of Maine-on-Loire. The ancient doctor used licorice to treat coughs, bronchitis, pneumonia, and also to treat infectious and inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

• Already in our time, Soviet scientists, studying the properties of licorice preparations, experimentally proved its anti-inflammatory effect, similar to cortisone and butadione, and in some situations even exceeding their effectiveness, which is due to stimulation of the activity of the functions of the adrenal cortex.
• In the first decade of the twenty-first century, Japanese researchers discovered new substances in the plant that exhibit suppressive effects against the human immunodeficiency virus.
• Preparations from licorice roots contain triterpene glycosides, glycyrrhizic acid, glycyrrhizin, coumarin compounds (gerniarin, umbelliferone), about twenty-seven flavonoids (saponaretin, liquiritin, rutin, rhamnoliquiritin, astragalin, isoquercitrin, rutin, uraloside, and others), ascorbic acid , sterols, amino acid asparagine and others.
• All these substances have medicinal properties:

• Gerniarin has antispasmodic activity.
• Umbelliferone exhibits anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties.
• Glycyrrhizic acid relieves inflammation, stimulates the activity of the adrenal glands, reduces allergic manifestations, and also exhibits an anti-sclerotic effect due to inhibition of cholesterol metabolism.
• Flavonoids have antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties, relax smooth muscles, and also have an effect that restores the permeability of vascular walls.
• Saponins increase the productivity of the secretion production functions of the mucous membranes of the respiratory and digestive systems, reduce the viscosity of bronchial secretions and facilitate the processes of coughing. They exhibit anti-inflammatory, disinfectant, softening and enveloping effects.

Preparations from licorice root are used to relieve and treat cough symptoms in inflammatory pathologies of the respiratory system. In particular, for asthmatic diseases of the bronchi, bronchitis, pneumonia and others.

The plant is also used for pathological skin processes, for example, dermatitis, eczema, various types of neurodermatitis, psoriasis, allergic reactions.

Diseases associated with metabolic disorders, diabetes mellitus, blood pressure pathologies, inflammatory processes of the genitourinary system and gastrointestinal tract, rheumatoid processes.

As well as a decrease in the functions of the adrenal cortex, inflammation of the oral cavity, nasopharynx, ears, eyes - all this is not a complete list of diseases for which extracts, decoctions and infusions from licorice are effectively used.

However, it should be remembered that any medicine can be used for a limited time, since uncontrolled use of any, even the most effective and harmless medicine, can cause irreparable harm to the human body.

Cough medicine for children is a combination of medicinal substances with antitussive, expectorant, and anti-inflammatory effects.

The medical product Cough Mixture for children is composed of the following medicinal components: marshmallow extract, licorice extract, sodium benzoate, sodium bicarbonate and ammonium chloride.

Licorice root extract. The structure of the extract contains saponins, including triterpene glycyrrhizin, which has stimulating properties in relation to the adrenal cortex.

The extract also includes about twenty-seven flavonoids, ascorbic acid, pectin substances and resins.

The medicinal component exhibits positive biological effects, in particular, it has powerful anti-inflammatory effects, since it inhibits exudative and proliferation processes in inflammation.

Marshmallow root extract. It has expectoration properties due to the influence of polysaccharides included in the extract.

In the process of reflex stimulation, there is an increase in the physiological activity of epithelial ciliated tissues and an increase in the peristaltic movement of the terminal branches of the bronchial tree, which helps the movement of bronchial secretion from the lower parts of the respiratory system upward and its subsequent exit. It also enhances the production of bronchial secretions and reduces its viscosity.

Sodium bicarbonate increases the pH value of sputum and thins it.

Ammonium chloride and sodium benzoate exhibit expectorant effects.

Cough mixture for children is used for the treatment of inflammatory processes localized in the respiratory system, with an accompanying cough with difficult secretion:

• In the treatment of inflammatory processes of the mucous membrane of the bronchial tree (bronchitis).
• For inflammation of the windpipe (tracheitis).
• For the treatment of inflammatory processes localized in the walls of the terminal branches of the bronchial tree - bronchogenic pneumonia (bronchopneumonia), acute.

Cough syrup for children has contraindications for use in the following pathologies:

• In case of hypersensitivity to substances that are included in the structure of the product.
• In inflammatory processes that have a renal localization, with an acute course.
• For diseases affecting the renal glomeruli and tubules of interstitial tissues, characterized by an acute inflammatory process.
• For diseases associated with a deficiency in the body of glycoside hydrolases, in particular sucrase/isolmatase.
• In case of individual intolerance to the monosaccharide substance - fructose.
• For a syndrome caused by impaired absorption of monosaccharides in the gastrointestinal tract (glucose-galactose malabsorption).
• During pregnancy and lactation.

pharmachologic effect

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Pharmacodynamics

A combined drug that stimulates expectoration and facilitates easy removal of mucus from the respiratory tract. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect .

Glycyrrhizin in licorice root stimulates the function of the ciliated epithelium and bronchial glands, facilitating expectoration of sputum. Liquiritoside has an antispasmodic effect.

Marshmallow roots have a bronchosecretory , expectorant , weak anti-inflammatory and enveloping effect . By irritating the receptors of the oral and gastric mucosa, it reflexively stimulates bronchial secretion.

Activate the formation of sputum, reduce its adhesiveness and viscosity, increase the movements of bronchioles and ciliated epithelium, promoting the release of sputum. The mucus contained in marshmallow creates a protective layer on the mucous membrane, reduces inflammation and stimulates regenerative processes in it.

Anise oil stimulates the function of the ciliated epithelium and has bactericidal , antimicrobial and antispasmodic effects.

Sodium bicarbonate is an expectorant. When taken orally, it is absorbed and then released by the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract, thereby stimulating bronchial secretion and increasing the activity of the epithelium. Sodium benzoate and bicarbonate shift the pH of mucus to the alkaline side, reduce the viscosity of sputum and activate natural proteases.

Ammonium chloride is partially released by the bronchial mucosa in the form of ammonium carbonate, which acts as an alkali, with its inherent mucolytic effect .

2. In the initial stages of colds and viral diseases of the respiratory tract, a dry cough is observed, which implies the presence of sputum and the inability of the lungs to cope with its elimination on their own.
3. Therapy is then aimed at thinning the mucus and irritating the ciliated epithelium, which helps facilitate coughing.
4. For the development of a wet cough, children need to take a dry mixture at the earliest stages of the disease in order to stimulate the process of diluting the bronchodilator secretion.
5. Therapy with other drugs should begin after this stage has been overcome.

• Liquiritoside - has an antispasmodic effect.
• Marshmallow root - has a weak anti-inflammatory, enveloping, expectorant, bronchosecretory, antimicrobial and bactericidal effect. Bronchial secretion is stimulated reflexively due to irritation of the receptors in the oral and gastric mucosa by this substance. The formation of sputum is significantly activated, its viscosity and adhesiveness decreases, and the movement of the ciliated epithelium and bronchioles increases. A protective shell is created on the mucous membrane of the respiratory apparatus from compounds in marshmallow, which stimulates regenerative processes and reduces inflammation in it.

Reviews about the drug

Tatyana, 43. I have been familiar with the mixture for a long time, since it was not the first child that was saved from colds and bronchitis.

I really like the price - this is perhaps the cheapest product in pharmacies today.

If you compare it with other drugs, even those produced by us, it’s an order of magnitude.

It begins to act from the first day of use , and on the second day a characteristic wet cough appears, you can even hear the child no longer barking, but thumping and gurgling. We are very pleased with the results.

Valeria, 26. The medicine has never let us down . It was not prescribed in all cases when the child coughed, but only for dry cough. On average, treatment did not last more than a week .

The doctor prescribed it in combination with other drugs ; there were also antiallergic tablets, drugs to boost immunity, and many others. But I take this mixture almost all the time.

It’s interesting that every year we are treated with different medications, as we develop an addiction to certain components, but this medicine is always included in the kit.

Ivan, 27. Prescribed for my father when he caught a cold while fishing. I took this medicine and some other pills for 2 weeks. I also took it myself, but as a child.

The smell is not very pleasant, it seems that it smells like a hospital, but in general it can be tolerated. Personally, I didn't like the smell of any medicine, even strawberry or apple flavored ones. But it helps almost after the first dose .

The last time I was sick, they prescribed mainly foreign medicines, which are more expensive. Now I get sick less often, and as I’ve gotten older I’ve started to wear a hat and gloves.

Cough mixture dry instructions for use, analogues, composition, indications

Dry cough syrup for children is sold in bags. Inside there is a powder that must be dissolved with water, according to the instructions on the package. Children's cough medicines are necessary to liquefy secretions in the bronchial tree. Then it does not flow down, but comes out with the help of a cough reflex.

The mixture for dry cough for children is multi-component, contains useful substances that have a complex effect on the body. Cold symptoms go away quickly, and the risk of developing complications is reduced.

The main indication for the use of the drug is the presence of a dry or wet cough when the doctor determines the thickening of the mucous secretion in the tracheobronchial tree.

Wet cough mixture for children can be combined with other medications needed during a viral illness.

At the same time, none of the components of the product interacts at the chemical level with other medications, so the risk of side effects is reduced.

Composition of the drug

The composition of the mixture for dry cough for children is represented by plant substances, thanks to which positive effects on the body are manifested:

1. Licorice root, anise oil. Relieves inflammation and promotes expectoration. Thanks to the elimination of muscle tissue spasms, the lumen of the bronchial tree increases, and sputum comes out freely.
2. Sodium bicarbonate. Used to liquefy and remove mucus. The effect is achieved by influencing the nerve endings of the ciliated epithelium of the bronchial tree. It begins to remove mucus that has accumulated in excess on the surface.
3. Liquiritoside. A medicinal substance that is added to dry powder to provide an antispasmodic effect. The lumen of the bronchial tree expands, eliminating the risk of obstruction.
4. Marshmallow root. Destroys some types of pathogenic bacteria, this eliminates the risk of complications of infection. Stimulates the discharge of sputum and the release of mucus to the surface. Additionally eliminates inflammation and envelops damaged areas. The ability to remove sputum is formed due to irritation of the mucous membrane of the bronchial tree.

The mucus becomes thinner, even if it is too viscous. It does not adhere to the bronchial tree, but is excreted up the respiratory tract. The ability to envelop increases regenerative processes, so inflammation is eliminated and the cellular composition is renewed.

Another ingredient is ammonium chloride. Has a mucolytic effect, reduces the viscosity of sputum. The thinner it becomes, the better it is released up the bronchial tree.

Release forms

Dry cough syrup for children is produced in powder form. The contents of the sachet must be poured into a glass and filled with water for consumption. Another form of production is bottles. They contain a mark to the level of which you need to pour water.

Cough powders have a long shelf life. After dilution, the solution must be used within 2 days. This increases the risk of the mucus becoming too thin, preventing it from moving down the respiratory tract.
