Education: A diploma in the specialty "Medicine" and "Therapy" received at the University named after N. I. Pirogov (2005 and 2006). Advanced training at the Department of Phytotherapy at the Moscow University of Peoples' Friendship (2008).

There was a time when traditional medicine recipes were ridiculed and criticized. Now natural material is the basis of many drugs that give a good effect in traditional therapy. So, for the treatment of cough (especially in children), the properties of thermopsis, which is popularly referred to as the mouser, are used.

A little about the plant

All cultures that grow on Earth have one or another healing properties. In our country, this perennial wild plant is actively developing in Siberia and belongs to the category of biological weeds. Thermopsis itself is poisonous, but its composition makes the plant valuable in pharmacology.

Resins with healing properties, saponins, tannins, alkaloids are selected in culture in such a way that they allow the use of valuable raw materials for the manufacture of potent cough medicine. A large amount of vitamin C contributes to good absorption of the drug, and also helps to strengthen the immune system.

Additional Information! The ganglion-blocking ability of thermopsis affects the bronchial muscles, stimulating their tone. This, in turn, provokes a powerful expectorant message, which is especially important with a prolonged cough. The respiratory center is subjected to vomiting impulses, which allows you to get rid of sputum.

Thermopsis tablets

Despite such valuable properties of the plant, cough tablets with thermopsis in their composition have another component - baking soda, which is also useful in the treatment of a sore throat. It helps to loosen phlegm and quickly remove it from the respiratory tract.

Thermopsis alkaloids have an irritating effect on the muscular and bronchial systems, which increases the secretion of sputum. As a result, the symbiosis of soda and thermopsis helps to cleanse the respiratory tract and very quickly soothes a cough of any nature (no matter if it is dry or wet).

The occurrence of coughing is a consequence of the excitation of nerve endings in the respiratory tract. Codeine, introduced into the composition of the tablets, gives a calming effect, while being an anesthetic. All components included in "Termopsol" are natural, which makes the drug especially useful.

At the same time, all thermopsis cough tablets are quite inexpensive. This is another factor that makes the drug popular among consumers.

The impact of the drug

A thermopsis-based remedy is quite effective, with a strong effect on the body. The effectiveness of cough treatment is achieved by the following points:

  • Having begun its influence on mucus, thermopsis enhances its secretion in the bronchi.
  • Ciliated epithelium increases activity under the action of the drug. This, in turn, contributes to the rapid removal of sputum from the respiratory tract.
  • The smooth muscles of the bronchial system increase their tone.
  • The patient begins to breathe more deeply and vigorously.

Note! Tablets reach their target through the gastrointestinal tract, where, being absorbed, they penetrate into the blood. And already through the blood vessels, the agent quickly enough enters the respiratory system.

There is a provocation of intense coughing, which contributes to the separation of sputum. The sodium bicarbonate (in other words, soda) included in the preparation dilutes the viscosity of the mass, therefore, with increased frequent coughing, it is easily rejected from the respiratory tract, thereby contributing to a quick recovery.

Application of thermopsis

The plant itself and preparations based on thermopsis are usually prescribed by doctors with a wet cough, so that sputum comes out more easily. The absence of chemical components in the composition allows you to give products with thermopsis to children.

Important! The weed is poisonous (as mentioned above), therefore, the instructions for the use of the drug must be strictly observed during treatment.

Both the adult and the child take the medicine 3 times a day at equal intervals. At the same time, it is recommended for young children to replace the tablets with an infusion of herbs, which should be drunk in this way:

  • half a teaspoon (no more than that) for babies from a year to 3 years of age;
  • on an incomplete spoon - for children under 11 years old;
  • after 12 years of age, you can already give 1 tbsp. infusion of thermopsis or half a tablet.

Adults drink 1 tablet at a time, containing 260 mg of this medicinal herb. In any case, treatment should not last more than a week. If the cough passes earlier, it is better to stop taking the drug immediately.

Incoming thermopsis in other cough tablets, the instruction recommends using it a little differently. In the composition of the “Dry Thermopsis Extract”, along with the plant, there is also milk sugar. This tablet cough remedy is not prescribed to people under 18 years of age. Taking the medicine is reduced to 2 times 1 tab. in a day.

Important! Any of the drugs based on thermopsis should not be taken in combination with absorbents, enveloping, as well as astringents, otherwise the cough medicine will be poorly absorbed by the stomach. For this reason, thermopsis alkaloid poisoning can occur.

You can also not combine this remedy with other medicines prescribed for coughing, as well as with drugs that include codeine. Such a search can adversely affect the respiratory system, making it difficult to remove sputum.

Side effects

In view of the strength of drugs based on thermopsis, side effects may occur (after all, each organism is an individual system). At the slightest sign, described below, the drug is stopped taking. It is advisable to immediately seek advice from your doctor. In severe cases, gastric lavage is necessary.

  • Skin rashes may appear, accompanied by itching.
  • The respiratory system sometimes reacts to the alkaloids of thermopsis with labored breathing.
  • The drug can provoke severe headaches and drowsiness.
  • Allergic reactions appear in the form of mucosal edema.

These symptoms are quite serious, and if a person is predisposed to allergies, there can be severe consequences, which manifest themselves as follows:

  • Excitation of the respiratory center provokes a gag reflex, accompanied by nausea and rejection of the stomach contents through the esophagus.
  • If the cough is associated with bronchial asthma, thermopsis should not be included in therapy, as it will provoke suffocation.
  • Pregnant women should not experiment with this medicine, because thermopsis leads to uterine contractions and premature birth.
  • Very young children do not yet know how to expectorate sputum. If there is a blockage of the respiratory system, then the mucus will clog in the lungs, preventing the baby from breathing.
  • For the same reason, a nursing mother should not be treated for coughing with such drugs - the medicine with milk will enter the baby's body.

Sick kidneys, a stomach or duodenal ulcer are clear contraindications for taking expectorant drugs based on thermopsis, since the chemical composition of the plant component will only aggravate the disease.

Important! It is not necessary to treat a cough with these remedies for people working in industries that require special attention, as well as for those who drive vehicles. This medicine affects the speed of the reaction.

Natural medicines are environmentally friendly remedies that can eliminate many diseases, but this does not mean that all of them can be thoughtlessly taken. Thermopsis-based tablets give an effective result in the fight against annoying wet cough. They are just not recommended for everyone.

Therefore, before undertaking self-treatment, you should carefully study the instructions for using the drug. Even better, ask a therapist for an appointment, who will establish the cause of the cough, determine its degree, and take into account the individual characteristics of the body. Particular attention should be paid to the treatment of young children, for whom not all "gifts of nature" can be useful.
