Expectorant

Pharmacological Action

Licorice root extract has an expectorant effect, primarily due to the presence of glycyrrhizin, which enhances the secretory function of the upper respiratory tract mucous membranes.

Thermopsis extract has an expectorant effect by exerting a moderate irritating effect on the gastric mucosa receptors, reflexively increasing the secretion of the bronchial glands.

The alkaloids contained in thermopsis herb (methylcytisine, pachycarpine, anagyrine, thermopsine, thermopsidine) have an excitatory effect on the respiratory center, and in high doses, on the vomiting center.

Potassium bromide reduces the excitability of the central nervous system.

Ammonium chloride has an expectorant and diuretic effect.

Indications

• As part of the complex therapy of inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract, accompanied by cough with difficult-to-expectorate sputum (tracheitis, bronchitis, tracheobronchitis).
