During periods of dampness and cold weather, the incidence of infectious and viral diseases always increases. They are usually accompanied by a runny nose and cough. It often happens that even after recovery, the cough does not go away for a long time. Pharmacies sell a huge variety of cough remedies, but are they all effective and what does their effect depend on? Using an example, we can consider the drug Tusuprex, the instructions for use of which claim that it gives good results in the treatment of diseases of the upper respiratory system.
Pharmacological action of Tusuprex
The active ingredient in Tusuprex is oxaldine.
Tusuprex, according to the instructions, helps to reduce the sensitivity of the cough center located in the medulla oblongata to impulses from the cough receptors. Thus, the medication has an expectorant and antitussive effect on the body.
Compared to codeine, Tusuprex has a milder effect, according to reviews. At the same time, the medication does not depress breathing, does not cause drug dependence or addiction, therefore, after long-term use, gradual withdrawal is not required.

The advantage of Kiberis is its versatility, thanks to which it is able to select analogues for any drugs.
Artificial intelligence analyzes indications, contraindications, components, pharmacological groups, as well as information on the practical use of drugs, and displays the best replacements with the degree of similarity as a percentage.
Complete analogues of drugs are not always available, and their use is not always possible due to the presence of dangerous drug interactions. Therefore, we have to use simply similar drugs, sometimes even from different pharmacological groups.
