pharmachologic effect

Combined expectorant drug. It has a mucolytic and expectorant effect, and also has anti-inflammatory activity. The effect of the Codelac® Broncho elixir with thyme is due to the pharmacological properties of its components.

Ambroxol has a secretomotor, secretolytic and expectorant effect, normalizes the disturbed ratio of serous and mucous components of sputum, and increases the secretion of surfactant in the alveoli. Reduces the viscosity of sputum and promotes its removal.

Sodium glycyrrhizinate has anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects. It has a cytoprotective effect due to its antioxidant and membrane-stabilizing activity. Enhances the effect of endogenous glucocorticoids, providing anti-inflammatory and antiallergic effects. Due to its pronounced anti-inflammatory activity, it helps reduce the inflammatory process in the respiratory tract.

Thyme herb extract contains a mixture of essential oils that have an expectorant and anti-inflammatory effect. In addition, this extract has weak antispasmodic and reparative properties.

What kind of cough do Codelac Broncho tablets and elixir help with?

The effect of both dosage forms of the drug is similar. These are mucolytics with a moderate anti-inflammatory effect. Designed to liquefy mucous secretions, improve the passage of accumulated clots from the bronchi and lungs. Increases cough productivity and helps cleanse the respiratory system.

Ambroxol in combination with thermopsis extract reduces the viscosity of mucus, stimulating its elimination. Sodium bicarbonate improves the motility of bronchioles and epithelial villi on the walls of the bronchi. Glycyrrhizinate has an antimicrobial effect and neutralizes the damaging effects of oxidation products. Thyme complements the activity of other components of the elixir, helps to expectorate mucus more easily, helps relieve microspasms and makes breathing easier.

Positive dynamics are usually observed from the second day of therapy. The effect of the medicine increases gradually: the cough becomes less intrusive, the mucus leaves in a larger volume, and relief comes faster.
