Ascoril is included in a large group of medications that provide liquefaction and discharge of sputum from inflamed bronchi. The drug can be used in childhood. Consider in detail the instructions for the use of cough syrup Ascoril for children.

Compound

The syrup has a rich orange color and a pleasant aroma of blackcurrant. The taste of the medicine is bittersweet, but it does not cause disgust in children.

Ascoril is a multicomponent remedy. Its composition includes:

• Bromhexine. Substance responsible for liquefaction bronchial secretions.

  Initially, viscous sputum softens under the action of the component, which contributes to better expectoration.

  In addition, bromhexine blocks the formation of new sputum.

• Salbutamol. The component expands the lumen of spasmodic bronchi, providing relaxation of smooth muscle muscles. The child can cough without straining the muscles of the chest and abdomen.
• Graifenesin. The syrup ingredient is responsible for activating the "cilia". Starting to move in an accelerated mode, they improve the process of sputum discharge.
• Menthol. The substance relieves bronchospasm that accompanies any diseases of the upper respiratory tract. An additional effect is the elimination of existing inflammation of the mucosa.

Components "work" in a complex way. Therefore, syrup is not only promotes mucus expulsion, but also restores the work of the bronchi.

Indications

Syrup Ascoril can be used for the following diseases:

Contraindications to the appointment

Syrup in childhood can not be used in the following cases:

• if the child has a confirmed arrhythmia;
• with myocarditis (infectious inflammation of the heart muscle);
• existing stenosis (narrowing) of the aorta;
• hyperthyroidism (active production of thyroid hormones);
• confirmed diabetes mellitus;
• glaucoma (high intraocular pressure);
• during the period of exacerbation of gastritis and ulcer pathology;
• with existing liver or kidney failure.

Ascoril syrup is prohibited for prescribing to babies under one year old.

How it works

The medicine manifests simultaneously multiple actions:

• being a bronchodilator, eliminates existing bronchospasm;
• belonging to the group of mucolytics, it dilutes sputum, facilitating its removal from the lungs;
• improves expectoration of bronchial mucus.

While taking the drug, spasm is relieved, which leads to an increase in lung capacity. The process of expectoration of sputum improves.

Dosage (depending on age)

• Children aged 1 to 6 years - 5 ml three times a day.
• Children from 6 to 12 years old - 5-10 ml three times a day.
• From the age of 12, a dosage of 10 ml is prescribed three times a day.

Method of use and special instructions

You need to take syrup (according to the official instructions) after breastfeeding. It is necessary that after a meal before receiving a dose of medicine, it is necessary to pass from half an hour to a full hour.

To drink the drug, the child needs offer chilled boiled water. It is forbidden to use alkaline drinks, for example, milk with soda, as this reduces the therapeutic effect of the drug.

Permissible term for taking syrup - five to seven days. In some cases, with a severe course of the disease, the duration of treatment can be increased up to two weeks.

While taking Ascoril syrup do not give the child other antitussives used to treat dry coughs, such as Codelac. This combination can provoke stagnation of sputum, which causes severe coughing fits.

Interaction with other substances

Simultaneous reception of Ascoril and drugs, containing codeine, is prohibited.

Bromhexine improves drug absorption from the category of antibiotics.

The time of autumn dampness and winter cold is coming, and many people face the problem of choosing a reliable cough remedy. Ascoril, due to its complex action, is a reliable solution to this problem, and can be used to treat cough in patients of various ages.

Description

Ascoril contains three active components at once, each of which complements the beneficial properties of the other. Two of them, bromhexine and guaifenesin, are mucolytic agents, and one, salbutamol, is a bronchodilator. To understand the principle of action of these components, it is necessary to remember what processes cause a cough. This phenomenon is caused, firstly, by the narrowing of the bronchi - the airways leading to the lungs, and, secondly, by irritation of the mucous membrane of the surface of the bronchi.

The first component - salbutamol has a powerful bronchodilator effect. This means that due to its properties, bronchospasm is relieved. In addition, it reduces resistance in respiratory tract and increases lung capacity.

Also, the substance has the properties of an adrenostimulant, acting on adrenaline receptors of the beta-2 type in the bronchi and blood vessels, dilates the coronary arteries. The advantage of the connection in comparison with analogues is its high speed of action. The other two components are mucolytics. They contribute to the development of a special bactericidal secretion of the bronchial mucosa and its removal from the body.

Bromhexine, in addition to the mucolytic effect, also has an antitussive effect, stimulates the cilia of the ciliated epithelium. It also increases the volume of sputum and reduces its viscosity. With repeated use, Bromhexine can accumulate in the body. Guaifenesin is a compound first discovered in the guaiac tree. This plant has been used by the Indians since time immemorial for the treatment of various diseases. Guaifenesin stimulates the secretory cells of the bronchial mucosa, causing them to produce more secretions, and reduces the viscosity of sputum.

The complex effect of all three active substances leads to the fact that the patient will be able to cough up sputum better, and the unproductive cough will be replaced by a productive one. And this means that congestion will not occur in the bronchi, contributing to the accumulation of pathogenic bacteria in the bronchi.

Ascoril syrup also contains menthol, which is able to have a moderate bronchodilatory, secretolytic and antiseptic effect.

Thus, the complex action of Ascoril can be divided into the following components:

• improved expectoration of sputum,
• increase in sputum volume
• liquefaction of sputum
• stimulation of beta-2-adrenergic receptors of the respiratory organs,
• elimination of bronchospasms,
• an increase in lung volume,
• extension coronary arteries,
• activation of the cilia of the epithelium of the bronchi,
• stimulation of secretory cells of the bronchial mucosa.

Patient reviews are mostly positive. Many note that the drug helped them by relieving the symptoms of coughing or alleviating them.

However, some patients mention unpleasant side effects - increased pressure, tachycardia, general malaise. This suggests that the drug should be used only as prescribed by the doctor and taking into account the patient's concomitant diseases.

Release form

Ascoril is sold in two main versions. First of all, these are pills. In addition, a special syrup for children is produced - Ascoril Expectorant. It is sold in bottles of 100 and 200 ml.

Dosage of the main active ingredients in tablets:

• salbutamol - 2 mg,
• bromhexine - 8 mg,
• guaifenesin - 100 mg.

Dosage of components in 10 ml syrup Expectorant:

• salbutamol - 2 mg,
• bromhexine - 4 mg,
• guaifenesin - 100 mg.

Ascoril is produced by the Indian pharmaceutical company Glenmark Pharmaceuticals.

Structural analogues of Ascoril do not currently exist, although preparations containing individual components of the drug, for example, Bromhexine, can be found on sale.

Indications

The drug is recommended for use in diseases of the respiratory system, accompanied by a strong cough, spasm and narrowing of the bronchi. In this case, the cough is usually unproductive, and a large amount of viscous sputum accumulates in the bronchi.

These can be diseases caused by both viral and bacterial infections, as well as allergic diseases:

• tracheobronchitis;
• bronchitis, including obstructive;
• bronchiectasis;
• bronchial asthma;
• pneumoconiosis;
• tuberculosis;
• cystic fibrosis.

In most cases, Ascoril is not used as an independent remedy, but as one of the components of complex therapy.

Contraindications

Ascoril has a number of contraindications. First of all, the drug is contraindicated in women during pregnancy and lactation. This is due to the fact that its components easily penetrate the placental barrier. Also, Ascoril tablets are contraindicated in children under 6 years of age.

• arrhythmias and tachycardias,
• hypertension,
• aortic stenosis,
• severe forms of renal and hepatic failure,
• myocarditis,
• heart defects,
• exacerbation of gastric ulcer or duodenum,
• thyrotoxicosis,
• increased intraocular pressure.

Also, the drug (even in the form of syrup) is not intended for drinking by children under one year old.

The drug is prescribed with caution to patients with diabetes, with exacerbation of gastric or duodenal ulcers.

In the presence of a large amount of liquid sputum in the bronchi in children, the drug is also not prescribed, since it can make it difficult to withdraw.

Side effects

With all the desire, Ascoril cannot be classified as a drug with a high degree of safety and a complete absence of side effects. This is largely due to the presence in the preparation of salbutamol, which acts on adrenaline beta receptors in the vessels. Therefore, in some people, primarily those suffering from cardiovascular diseases, the drug can cause such undesirable reactions as a drop or increase in pressure, tachycardia. This circumstance suggests that Ascoril should not be taken on its own, without a doctor's prescription.

Ascoril can provoke some negative reactions from the gastrointestinal tract (nausea, dyspepsia, pain in the stomach and lower abdomen, diarrhea), skin allergic reactions, headaches, drowsiness, nervous excitement, sleep disturbance, change in urine color.

Instructions for use

Ascoril is taken regardless of the meal. The usual dosage for adults and children over 12 years of age in the case of tablets is 3 times a day, one tablet. Children from 6 to 12 years old are given half a tablet a day.

Dose of Ascoril in the form of syrup: children under 12 years old are given 5 ml (teaspoon) of syrup three times a day, adults and children over 12 years old - 10 ml. The duration of the course of treatment is determined by the doctor. It is not recommended to use the drug in the form of a syrup for the treatment of children for longer than a week.

Interaction of Ascoril with other drugs and substances

Bromhexine enhances the penetration of certain antibiotics (erythromycin, tetracyclines) into the lung tissue. Salbutamol cannot be used simultaneously with non-selective beta-2 adrenergic blockers, due to the fact that the latter can neutralize its effect. Beta-2-agonists can increase the side effects of salbutamol. Also, you can not take it simultaneously with MAO inhibitors. Do not drink Ascoril with alkaline liquids, such as mineral water. Like other mucolytic drugs, Ascoril should not be taken with centrally acting antitussive drugs, such as codeine.

Instructions for use "Ascoril" characterizes the drug as a combined antitussive pharmaceutical agent. This is an Indian-made medicine designed to improve the fluidity of sputum and facilitate coughing in case of pathologies of the respiratory organs of various kinds. The medicine is designed for patients of different age groups, including preschoolers.

Forms of release and composition

The Glenmark company produces a medication in two versions:

1. White cylindrical tablets with a separating recess, placed 10 units in a plastic-aluminum cellular contour blister. A pharmacy pack may contain 1, 2 or 5 blisters, that is, 10, 20, 50 tablets, respectively.
2. Viscous transparent-orange syrup, poured into plastic bottles of 100 and 200 ml, with a medicinal herbal smell, pleasant bitter-sweet taste. Usually this dosage form is prescribed for children, but with the same success the syrup can be drunk by adults.

The composition of "Ascoril" for both dosage forms includes a therapeutic base, represented by three active ingredients: salbutamol, bromhexine hydrochloride, guaifenesin. In addition to them, another active ingredient, menthol, was introduced into the syrup.

Auxiliary components:

• in tablets: a forming component silicon dioxide, preservatives - methyl and propyl parahydroxybenzoate, starch (as a baking powder), talc as a filler, emulsifier - magnesium stearate;
• in syrup: solvent glycerol, fruit flavors, water, preservative sodium benzoate, antimicrobial preservatives (citric and sorbic acid), food coloring, stabilizer propylene glycol, sucrose.

Pharmacological properties and indications for use

The pharmaceutical action of the drug is based on the correct ratio and interaction of therapeutic components, which enhances the overall therapeutic effect.

1. Salbutamol. Removes and prevents spasmodic contraction of the muscle fibers of the bronchi and narrowing of the airways. Extends the lumen of blood vessels for a long time. Facilitates the patency of the air stream during breathing, increasing the useful volume of the lungs. Stops the development of suffocation during an attack of bronchial asthma.
2. Menthol (component of the syrup). Relieves spasm by expanding the bronchi. Reduces irritation of the mucous membrane of the airways. Helps to soothe cough attacks. It has the ability to suppress the activity of pathogens.
3. Bromhexine. Reduces the frequency and intensity of coughing. Accelerates the expectoration of liquid sputum and the transition of a dry cough into a productive (wet).
4. Guaifenesin increases the fluidity of mucus, making it easier to cough up.

Therapeutic components are rapidly absorbed, reaching the inflammatory focus. "Ascoril" easily overcomes the placenta, penetrating the vascular network of the fetus, which explains the impossibility of prescribing a medication to pregnant patients.

All substances in the composition of the medication are removed from the body along with urine, gavaifenesin - partially with sputum, salbutamol in small quantities - with bile.

"Ascoril" is used both as a monopreparation and in combination with other pharmaceuticals for the treatment of respiratory pathologies, accompanied by shortness of breath against the background of attacks of obsessive cough with scanty, hard-to-expectorate sputum.

Main indications:

• bronchitis of various types (tracheitis, tracheobronchitis, laryngotracheitis, obstructive bronchitis);
• pneumonia with an unidentified pathogen;
• bronchial asthma;
• spasmodic cough with whooping cough;
• pneumoconiosis (lung injury due to inhalation of industrial dusty fumes);
• pulmonary tuberculosis (both diagnosed and not confirmed);
• emphysema, bronchiectasis;
• cystic fibrosis.

Important! "Ascoril" is not used for acute respiratory infections, acute respiratory viral infections, but only for obstruction (partial obstruction) of the bronchi and coughing with hard viscous sputum.

At what age can children be given

• For children younger than 6 years old, the pediatrician will not prescribe pills for fear of the possibility of overdosing.
• Children's cough syrup for young patients is given from the age of one.

Babies up to 12 months are not able to cough up copious sputum, which is formed under the influence of pharmaceuticals. Even when treating older children, it is advisable to postpone treatment with syrup until at least 3 years old.

What kind of cough to take, dry or wet

The medication will help relieve a dry and unproductive wet cough when there is little sputum and it is thick. The medication normalizes breathing and mucus discharge, stops an asthma attack that has begun.

If the patient actively coughs up a lot of sputum, the drug can be harmful by further increasing the production of mucus, which becomes difficult for the patient to cough up. This condition can worsen the patency of the bronchi, as the abundance of sputum clogs the airways.

Instructions for use Ascoril for adults and children

The accepted food slows down process of absorption a little, but does not reduce expressiveness of medical action.

You should not drink the product with alkaline drinks (spinach juice, nettle decoction, mineral water, soda solution), so as not to reduce the effectiveness of the drug.

Tablets Ascoril

The standard regimen prescribed by adults is three times a day for a whole tablet. For children over 6 years old, half a tablet taken 2 to 3 times is enough.

Preschoolers under 6 years of age are not prescribed a tablet form of the drug.

Children's cough syrup Ascoril

• babies from one year old and preschoolers up to 6 years old are given from 3 to 5 ml per dose;
• for children 6-11 years old, a single dose is increased to 5-8 ml;
• adults and adolescents from 12 years of age are prescribed 10 ml of the drug.

Infants up to a year "Ascoril" is prohibited.

For children, the drug is prescribed only for individual indications. If a child has a wet cough with expectoration of liquid mucus, the remedy is excluded. Otherwise, a health-threatening condition may occur. Too much phlegm will clog the bronchi, which can lead to suffocation. The younger the child, the more serious the danger may be.

On the contrary, attacks of painful dry cough with inseparable or very thick sputum require the appointment of Ascoril. The tool will increase the fluidity of mucus, facilitate its coughing, reduce the frequency of coughing attacks. An unproductive cough will gently turn into a productive wet one, which will speed up recovery.

Ascoril during pregnancy and lactation

The components of "Ascoril" easily pass through breast milk to the baby and into the bloodstream of the fetus through the placenta.

Since the action of the medication is unsafe for children under one year old, and even more so for the fetus or embryo, it should be borne in mind that:

• pregnant patients are prohibited from taking the pharmaceutical in any form;

By inhibiting the cough reflex, these drugs make it difficult to expectorate liquid, abundant mucus that clogs the bronchi.
2. The medication is not recommended for patients receiving Pirlindol, Moclobemide, Nialamide and other monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).
3. Bronchodilator "Theophylline", beta 2-adrenergic agonists ("Anaprilin", "Propranolol"), drugs with salbutamol ("Salamol", "Joset", "Ventolin", "Combipek", "Kashnol") or medicines with a similar effect (" Partusisten", "Berodual") increase the activity of salbutamol in the medication and the risk of occurrence and development of adverse reactions.
4. Diuretics "Lasix", "Furosemide", hormonal agents (for example, "Prednisolone") increase potassium deficiency, which leads to a breakdown in the functioning of the heart muscle.
5. "Bromhexine", which is part of the medication, accelerates the action of antibiotic substances in the bronchopulmonary tissue.
