Pharmacological properties
In a clinical study, the bronchodilator effect of the drug was noted. Experiments on animals have demonstrated the antispasmodic effect of the drug.
It is assumed that the expectorant effect is caused by irritation of the gastric mucosa by reflex stimulation of the mucous glands of the bronchi through sensory parasympatholytic fibers.
In vitro immunohistochemical and biophysical studies have shown inhibition of the uptake of β2-receptors by α-hederin – even under conditions of strong stimulation – in alveolar epithelial cells of type II.
Indications
Chronic inflammatory diseases of the bronchi; viral infections of the upper respiratory tract, accompanied by a cough.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any other component of the drug.

Prospan lozenges dissolve in the mouth after a meal.
The duration of treatment depends on the nature and severity of the symptoms of the disease and is usually one week, even in the case of mild inflammation of the airways.
In order to achieve a stable therapeutic effect, it is recommended to continue treatment for another 2-3 days after the patient’s condition improves.
