To date, the pharmacy counters are full of a variety of drugs that are used to treat respiratory diseases in children. Here there are all kinds of medicinal forms: syrups, tablets, drops, potions, pastilles. Each of them has its own peculiarities. But best of all has proved itself in this area, a prospen - a cough syrup for children. And there are several reasons for this scientifically confirmed.
As a part of the syrup is a child's toilet, contains a dry extract of ivy, thanks to which, not only the bronchospasm is removed, but also the separation of sputum, which ceases to be viscous and easily detached and eliminated from the body, improves. The syrup does not contain alcohol, unlike drops.
In addition, during the ongoing studies, it was found that the drug has both antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial effect, and also has an adverse effect on intestinal parasites.
The presence of side effects and the safety of the drug, has been constantly studied since 1955 abroad, and in 2007, Russian studies of this syrup were conducted. They involved about five thousand children from one month to fourteen years of age. Side effects, and what or undesirable effects have been identified, except perhaps that light laxative effect of the syrup, which includes sorbitol, and he, as you know, weakens the intestines. From the reception of drops this effect is not observed.
That is, we can say with confidence about the safety of using syrup prospen for children up to a year, and for older age. This drug is officially recognized and approved for use by international and domestic doctors.
Who is prescribed a syrup awning?
The scope of this tool is wide enough. These are acute and chronic diseases of the respiratory system, such as bronchial asthma, obstructive bronchitis, acute laryngotracheitis, stenosis. All those diseases, when sputum is difficult to separate, and cough is not productive.
If the treatment with the syrup is started on time, then complications after the disease, which is treated with sspan, are not observed. In addition, due to the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effect of ivy, the growth of microbes is actively suppressed, and often there is no need to use antibiotics that are very harmful to the child's body.
The drug is available in the form of drops, syrup and effervescent tablets. When taking drops, the effect of treatment comes faster than from the syrup, but the effect of the syrup is more prolonged, and due to this, even often sick children after regular application of the syrup cease to hurt. Especially the use of children with various allergic reactions is indicated.
How to take a canopy?
The dosage of syrup is dependent on the age of the baby. So infants are prescribed a triple intake of 2.5 ml, and from six years to adolescence, 5 ml three times a day.
The duration of treatment directly depends on the severity of the disease, and is controlled by the district doctor. Treatment is carried out at least one week, and to fix the result of treatment, the drug should be taken for at least two to three more days.
The drug prospen does not interact with other drugs that the child takes, and therefore can be assigned with them, including antibiotics.
In case of an overdose, diarrhea and nausea may occur, and then gastric lavage is prescribed. To prevent this from happening, the medicine should be stored in a place inaccessible to the child, and the baby can use it only with the help of an adult.
