Herbion syrup composition

The main advantage of drugs from cough Herbion - a natural plant compound. To date, there is a series of antitussive syrups that contain various medicinal components.

• Syrup Icelandic moss

The dense aqueous extract of Icelandic moss consists of: polysaccharides (lichenin and isochinene), bitter lichen acids. It also includes auxiliary substances: sorbitol liquid, xanthan gum, sodium benzoate, citric acid monohydrate and lemon flavor.

The interaction of all components provides antitussive, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and immunostimulating effects. The components of Icelandic moss have enveloping properties, create a protective film on the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract. Due to this, the cough reflex decreases and irritation of inflamed tissues descends.

• Primrose syrup

The medicament has a combined composition: water extract of the primrose and herbs of thyme, menthol. As additional components are: sucrose, propyl parahydroxybenzoate and methyl parahydroxybenzoate

The root of the primrose contains ascorbic acid, glycosides and saponins, which provide an antitussive effect and enhance bronchopulmonary secretion. Thyme extract consists of essential oils, one of which is thymol. This substance has a local antiseptic effect, reduces the viscosity of phlegm and the risk of bronchospasm. Menthol enhances the action of thymol, and also has anti-inflammatory properties, facilitates breathing.

• Ivy syrup

Contains an extract of ivy leaves, which consists of a complex of biologically active components. It includes saponins of the triterpene series and alpha-hederin. They reduce the viscosity of phlegm and stimulate its excretion from the body. The activity of the plant constituents is provided by mucolytic, bronchodilator and spasmolytic effect.

• Syrup with plantain

This medication has a combined composition: water extract of lawn-grass plantain, water extract of mallow flowers, vitamin C and auxiliary substances. Antitussive drug shows antibacterial and immunostimulating activity. The active ingredients irritate the receptors of the gastrointestinal mucosa, stimulating the secretion of the bronchial glands (gastropulmonal reflex). Due to this, sputum is diluted and its volume increases.

Pharmacodynamics

The leaf of the plantain and the color of the mallow have a mucus-enveloping effect, soothing the surface of the respiratory tract. Mucus, present in plants, eliminates cough caused by the irritating effect of the inflammatory response to respiratory tract tissue. The additional presence of Vitamin C in Herbion makes it possible to improve the response of the immune system and accelerate the restoration of tissues damaged by inflammation.

Ivy has a pronounced mucolytic effect, and also plays the role of spasmolytic and bronchodilator. The dry extract of the plant is represented by saponins of triterpenes (in particular, α-hederin and hederacoside). The drug promotes relaxation of the bronchial walls, facilitating expectoration and coughing.

Primrose and thyme contribute to the rapid separation of dense mucus secretion from the lumen of the bronchi. The rhizome of the plant primrose contains a large number of saponins, which are known to be expectorant (mucolytic) abilities. Saponins have a stimulating effect on the receptor mechanism of the vagus nerve, located on the gastric mucosa. This allows the Herbion drug to activate the so-called gastropulmonary reflex, due to which the formation of sputum is intensified and expectoration is potentiated. Saponins also exhibit surface activity, promoting the formation of a monomolecular coating. This allows substances to spread through the mucous tissues of the respiratory system, providing local dilution and excretory action.

Thyme has an antispasmodic and antiseptic effect, acts as a bronchodilator.

Icelandic moss is characterized by anti-shash, immunostimulating, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. The basis of this effect is the presence in the plant of a large number of mucous substances in the form of polysaccharides (lichenin and isochenin) and bitter lichen acids. Thanks to such substances, the drug has an enveloping effect on the upper respiratory tract: a kind of protective barrier is formed, which protects the mucous tissues from irritation. As a result, the manifestation of cough reflex decreases, and dryness and irritation softens. In addition to the respiratory tract, the drug envelops the surface of the nasopharynx and oral cavity, providing local softening effect.

Pharmacokinetics

Herbion is a remedy that has a plant base. It is extremely difficult to trace the kinetic properties of such a drug, since it is impossible to accurately determine the most active natural substance that contributes to the elimination of dry or wet cough, as a rule, the effect of the drug as a whole is considered.

Some of the herbal components act locally, some fall into the total bloodstream, but there is no way to accurately trace the nuances of their absorption, distribution and metabolism.

Herbion from cough for children

Parents, of course, worried about the choice of medication to eliminate dry or wet cough in a young child. First of all, such medications should be as safe as possible, and not less effective. Does such a safe means belong to Herbion?

Herbion syrups have an important feature: they are all produced on the basis of plants that successfully cough, and do not harm a small body. Plantain, thyme, primrose, ivy and Icelandic moss are hypoallergenic plants that are often used in pediatric practice.
