Pharmacological Action
Thermopsis herb has an expectorant effect, exerting a moderate irritant effect on the receptors of the gastric mucosa, reflexively increasing the secretion of the bronchial glands.
The alkaloids contained in thermopsis herb (cytisine, methylcytisine, pachycarpine, anagyrine, thermopsine, thermopsidine) have an excitatory effect on the respiratory center and, in high doses, on the vomiting center.
Sodium bicarbonate stimulates the secretion of the bronchial glands and helps reduce sputum viscosity.
Pharmacokinetics
The components of the drug are well absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. The maximum effect occurs 30-60 minutes after oral administration and lasts for 2-6 hours. They are excreted from the body by the kidneys, the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract, and the bronchial glands.
Indications
Diseases of the respiratory tract accompanied by cough with difficult-to-separate sputum (tracheitis, bronchitis) – as part of complex therapy.
