Preparations used for coughs and colds. Expectorants. Combinations. ATX code R05C A10.
Pharmacodynamics
Complex herbal preparation; expectorant direct action, has enveloping, emollient, secretolytic, bronchodilator, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial action.
Althaeae radix contains plant polysaccharide mucus (up to 35%), as well as asparagine, betaine, pectin, starch and the like.
The mechanism of action is due to irritation of the receptors of the stomach and reflex stimulation of the neurons of the vomiting, respiratory and cough centers, increases the peristalsis of the bronchioles and increases the activity of the ciliated epithelium of the bronchi (actually expectorant action). In addition, the drug enhances the function of the bronchial glands, causing liquefaction of sputum, a decrease in its viscosity and an increase in volume (resorptive secretolytic action).
Plant mucus covers the mucous membranes with a thin layer, remains on their surface for a long time and prevents irritation. As a result, the inflammatory process decreases and tissue regeneration is facilitated. For the gastric mucosa, the protective effect of a film of plant mucus is the longer, the higher the acidity of gastric juice (the viscosity of plant mucus increases when interacting with hydrochloric acid of gastric juice).
Thyme extract contains phytoncides, phenols (thymol and carvacrol), flavonoids (apigenin, luteolin), saponins and others. proliferation of microorganisms. The mechanism of the expectorant action of the components of thyme is due to the fermentation of a viscous secretion, reduces its viscosity, as well as the activation of the motor activity of the ciliated epithelium of the bronchi. The bronchodilator effect of thyme, which is due to the inhibition of the contractility of the smooth muscles of the trachea and bronchi by reducing the intracellular content of Ca 2+ ions, provides moderate bronchodilation, facilitates breathing and reduces expiratory dyspnea.Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and other bacterial species, as well as against fungi, including Cryptococcus neoformans, Aspergillus, Saprolegnia, Zygorhynchus.
