Ascoril (syrup)

Treatment of a child's cough requires a particularly balanced approach and a very thoughtful choice of remedy for this. Cough can be different, therefore, it is necessary to select a medicine, based on its characteristics and nature. Before buying the drug, you need to determine the causes of cough, its appearance, the features of the course of the disease that this cough accompanies.

Ascoril is a medicinal combined preparation that exerts a mucolytic, effective expectorant and strong bronchodilator effect.

Ascoril (syrup) is intended for children suffering from diseases, accompanied by the formation of viscous hard-to-repel sputum and a pronounced bronchospastic syndrome. The drug is prescribed for quite complex diseases: acute and chronic bronchitis, obstructive bronchitis, asthmatic bronchitis, tracheobronchitis, pneumonia, laryngitis, pharyngitis, bronchial asthma, tracheitis, tracheobronchitis, whooping cough, pneumoconiosis, pulmonary tuberculosis, etc.

Also Ascoril (syrup) is prescribed for children during complex therapy for the treatment of wet and dry cough, since the drug is an antispasmodic expectorant.

Syrup is the most suitable form for cough treatment in children, because it is easy to drink, it has a pleasant taste. The composition of Ascoril includes bromhexine, salbutamol, guaifenesin, menthol.

Bromhexine - a mucolytic, a drug that has expectorant properties. Salbutamol has a direct effect on the bronchi, dilates them, which greatly facilitates the departure of the mictor and relieves bronchospasies. Guaifenesin helps to translate dry cough into wet (unproductive to productive): it prevents the sputum from settling on the walls of the bronchi, dilutes it and reduces the viscosity, facilitating the withdrawal from the bronchi. Menthol relaxes the muscles of the bronchi, reducing irritation of the mucous respiratory tract, and also has the properties of an antiseptic.

With a complex cough in children, doctors often appoint Ascoril (syrup). Reviews of mothers about the drug indicate that the drug is very effective in coughing in children, but when buying your child this drug must be remembered that there are contraindications to its use.
