Compound
This is a medicine with a combined composition, the main active ingredients of which are essential anise oil and a 10% ammonia solution. Thanks to these components, the drug has a double effect.
| Active substances | Excipients | |
| Essential anise oil | Ammonia | Ethanol |
| 2.81 g | 15 ml | About 100 ml |
The oil is a natural antiseptic, as it contains phenolic compounds and carboxylic acids. When taken orally, the ether activates bronchial secretions and stimulates the process of mucus evacuation from the respiratory tract.
Ammonia makes sputum more viscous, making it easier to expectorate. It affects both the ciliated epithelium of the bronchi and the nerve endings, causing a reflex reaction of the body that promotes coughing up sputum.
What does it help with?
Anise for cough is useful in itself, but in drops its effect is enhanced. This happens thanks to ammonia. It doesn’t matter what kind of cough a person takes medicine for. When dry, it promotes the production of sputum, when wet, it removes it from the respiratory tract. The medicine heals the mucous membrane of the respiratory system and alleviates the sore throat that occurs during a severe cough. The drug helps with:
- any form of bronchitis;
- bronchogenic pneumonia;
- whooping cough in children;
- inflammation of the throat and larynx;
- dysfunctions of the digestive system.
The advantages of the drops include the absence of flavors and dyes, a small list of contraindications compared to mixtures made from synthetic substances, and a mild effect.
Often, drops of anise and ammonia are used as part of complex therapy to enhance the effectiveness of other mucolytic agents.
