Herbion (with primrose syrup) is treated with a wet cough. Doctors emphasize the effectiveness of the drug with difficulty in sputum discharge. However, the medicine is used in the complex treatment of diseases of the upper respiratory tract. This is facilitated by the characteristics of the drug. It heals the lungs, bronchi, as well as the mucous membranes of the pharynx.

Structure

Unlike other drugs of the line, the discussed Herbion has a combined composition. It has 2 plant components - a liquid extract from the roots of spring primrose, as well as from the thyme grass (thyme). To obtain extracts, a completely neutral extractant is used - water, so there is no alcohol in the syrup.
In 5 ml of medicine contains 3.08 g of plant extracts. Compared to other herbal preparations, this is a large number of active ingredients.
As auxiliary substances are:
    sucrose;
    levomenthol;
    methyl parahydroxybenzoate (E218).
These compounds provide a sweet taste, stability of the drug in the external environment, as well as additional pharmacological effects.

Release form

Herbion syrup is a viscous transparent substance of yellow-brown color with a specific taste and smell. The product is poured into dark glass bottles of 150 ml. Each bottle is equipped with a protective plastic stopper, a screw cap and a first opening control.
Syrup bottles are equipped with a leaflet with detailed instructions for use, as well as a measuring spoon. It is provided for accurate dosing of the drug. The bottles are packed in a cardboard box with information about the medication and the image of the primrose. In this form, the product is stored on pharmacy shelves.

pharmachologic effect

Herbion with primrose has a complex effect. The extracts contain saponins. These are biologically active substances that irritate the vagus nerve receptors. Its stimulation provides enhanced secretion of bronchial mucus.
When sputum becomes larger, its consistency changes (the secret liquefies). Due to the decrease in surface tension in the lumen of the bronchi, it is more easily excreted from the lungs.
Due to the essential oils of thyme, the sensitivity of the receptors of the bronchial mucosa increases, and sputum reflexively leaves them. In parallel, the spasm of smooth muscles is eliminated, which facilitates the course of the reflex and cough in general.
The volatile substances in the oil are characterized by an antimicrobial effect. Thus, thyme has an expectorant and anti-inflammatory effect at the same time.
The consistency of the syrup leads to the formation of a thin protective film in the throat and along the lumen of the respiratory tract. Levomenthol has an antispasmodic effect. It also has a positive effect on the process of evacuation of mucus and the general well-being of the patient. The auxiliary component has an antiseptic effect. Hence the effectiveness in inflammation of the throat and pharynx.
    Herbion with thyme and primrose relieves a wet cough, which makes it difficult to discharge sputum. It affects the quantity and quality of mucus, helps the lungs clear due to a cough reflex. The tool prevents bacterial complications of diseases.
