Pharmacological properties of the drug Gerbion soothing drops
A drug based on medicinal plants with a mild sedative effect. Valerian root contains essential oil with mono- and sesquiterpenes (valeric acid), which have a sedative effect on the central nervous system and a regulatory effect on the autonomic nervous system. Preparations containing valerian root have a calming effect in cases of increased excitability, anxiety, conditions caused by psychological stress, which manifests itself in the form of feelings of tension, anxiety, irritability, impaired concentration and insomnia. Hop cones contain essential oil that enhances the sedative effect of valerian. The sedative effect of hops is due to the moderate hypnotic effect of 2-methyl-3-butan-2-ol. Essential oils of peppermint and lemon balm also have a mild sedative effect and improve the smell and taste of the drops. The metabolism and excretion of valerotriates and other active substances of valerian from the human body has not been fully studied. Using radiolabeled active substances, it was shown that valerotriates are slightly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Due to their lipophilic properties, essential oils are well absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract. In the body, they are mainly associated with glucuronic acid and are excreted through the kidneys, and to a lesser extent through the gastrointestinal tract, lungs and skin.

And also during the treatment of acute respiratory diseases, which may be accompanied by a “dry” cough and other breathing disorders.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
This combined antitussive remedy is created on a plant basis, the predominant effect of which is exhibited by primrose root extract. As you know, primrose root contains many useful substances, namely: saponins, vitamin C and triterpene glycosides. The antitussive effect of this drug is provided by saponins, which enhance bronchopulmonary secretion, dilute and increase the volume of sputum, facilitating its elimination. They also help in the formation of a protective film on the mucous membranes of the respiratory organs and tracts, reducing the irritation of cough receptors and eliminating the cough reflex.
In addition, the drug is effective against senile cough, which occurs due to a decrease in the contractility of the heart. As a result, the blood supply to the lungs deteriorates and an obsessive, unproductive cough appears. Therefore, this drug and the saponins it contains help solve a double problem: to facilitate coughing and affect blood circulation, increasing the volume of fluid removed from the body.
Thyme extract contains thymol , a unique essential oil. This substance is removed from the body through the bronchial mucosa, exhibiting a local antiseptic effect. At the same time, the viscosity of sputum decreases, the likelihood of developing bronchospasm decreases, and the muscles of the bronchi relax. Thanks to the use of thyme extract, the ciliated epithelium that covers the bronchi is activated, and the discharge of mucus is improved and facilitated. Moreover, thyme extract is characterized by diuretic, antispasmodic, analgesic and anthelmintic effects.
Menthol, which is part of the drug, exhibits an anti-inflammatory effect, having a beneficial effect on the mucous membranes of the respiratory system, facilitating breathing and enhancing the effect of thymol and the drug as a whole.

Reviews of Herbion primrose syrup
This drug is one of the most popular cough medicines. And if someone has not used it during treatment, then they have definitely seen or heard about it in advertising. Quite often, reviews of Herbion primrose syrup are found on various medical forums and websites.
At the same time, some patients report that the medicine helped them quickly overcome their cough, while others spoke about the uselessness of this remedy. However, among the wide variety of Herbion preparations, you can choose the appropriate form for yourself. Also, this medicine is often compared with other well-known antitussives, for example, Ambrobene , Bronchicum, and so on. Among these drugs, it is not easy to determine the best antitussive drug, since each of them has an individual effect on each individual patient.
In addition, the effect of this drug is often discussed by pregnant women. However, despite the fact that this is a herbal natural remedy, it is contraindicated to take it during lactation and pregnancy. Moreover, many women prefer to use the advice of traditional medicine and are treated with herbal decoctions, inhalations, and so on.
In any case, patients need to remember that self-treatment of respiratory system disorders may result in an even greater complication of the disease.
For example, when a wet cough is treated with medications that dilute sputum and increase its production, it is possible to increase the period of coughing or cause stagnation of secretions in the bronchi. Therefore, you need to know exactly when and what medications should be taken, and only a competent therapist can help with this.
