Thermopsis - instruction

Dosage forms of release of Thermopsis: Tinctures, extracts, powders, tablets. The most popular and common form of release in tablets (0.05 g each)

Ingredients: The main component of the drug is a perennial plant of the legume family Lancet-shaped thermopsis (other names are “drunken grass”, “mouse grass”), growing in Siberia and Kazakhstan. Herbs are used in the manufacture of medicines.

Thermopsis herb includes essential oil, resins, saponins, alkaloids and ascorbic acid. In the manufacture of tablets, in addition to thermopsis, licorice root, codeine and sodium bicarbonate are used as excipients.

Thermopsis application

It is mainly used to suppress coughs of various origins in adults and children (up to two years of age), being also an excellent expectorant for all acceptable age groups. Medicines based on this herb are also used for various diseases of the respiratory tract (upper and lower sections): chronic tracheitis, bronchopneumonia, bronchitis. With excellent efficiency in the case of the treatment of the above diseases, the Thermopsis tablets have minimal side effects, regardless of the duration of administration (of course, with proper use and the absence of violations in dosages).

Preparations based on thermopsis herbs are also prescribed for complex treatment as a component of herbal preparations or medicinal tea.

In the event of catarrhal phenomena in the upper respiratory tract, often accompanied by a difficult-to-separate inflammatory plaque on the mucous membranes in the oral cavity, thermopsis tablets are used as an effective expectorant that cleanses the respiratory tract from negative effects.

The effect of Thermopsis

Thermopsis antitussive tablets are not only effective, but also a very popular remedy, and those who have already used this drug are unlikely to look for an analog treatment, preferring an already tried method.

How do thermopsis tablets work? The main effect of thermopsis is its expectorant action; when using the drug, the bronchi begin to produce more mucus. In addition, thermopsis is rich in alkaloids containing nitrogen, which have a combined effect on the respiratory organs. Although initially drugs containing thermopsis are intended as means for expectoration, an overdose can cause an emetic effect.

The tablet, resolving, enters the bloodstream, from there the drug enters the mucous membrane of the bronchi and trachea, which, being an irritant, causes coughing and increased breathing, which leads to the removal of sputum by expectoration.

The sodium bicarbonate contained in the tablets reduces the degree of sputum density; licorice root produces both an expectorant and anti-inflammatory effect, and also has an antispasmodic effect. Glycyrrhizin contained in the preparation is a stimulant for the ciliated epithelium of the bronchi, causing the expectorant properties of the tablets. Codeine in the composition of the drug also produces an antitussive effect.

Do not lose sight of the fact that when the bronchi are irritated, the cough can be both dry and wet in nature, therefore, before using thermopsis tablets, the effect of which may be unpredictable, you should consult your doctor.

Contraindications

Side effects

An overdose of the drug is fraught with headaches; vomiting and drowsiness may occur. Also, with an overdose, coordination of movements is disturbed and breathing becomes difficult. Constipation is possible.

In violation of kidney function daily dose the drug should not exceed 2 tablets, while a sufficient break between doses should be observed.

Medicinal properties of thermopsis herb

Cough thermopsis is a perennial plant that belongs to the legume family, contains a large amount of nutrients and has a sharp unpleasant odor. The grass has creeping rhizomes, greenish-gray lanceolate leaves and yellow irregular shape flowers.

In medicine, a perennial plant is widely used in herbal medicine for the treatment of diseases of the intestines, lungs, nervous system, and is used for arterial hypotension. However, the most powerful and beneficial effect of the perennial is expectorant.

• elimination of intestinal atony, which is especially useful for chronic constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, after surgical interventions on the abdominal cavity;
• appetite stimulation - used for anorexia of a somatic and neurogenic nature, in case of deterioration of appetite in infectious and inflammatory diseases;
• increased systemic pressure - that is why the grass is used for arterial hypotension;
• sputum discharge - the substances included in the plant not only transform an unproductive cough into a wet one, but also help to remove mucus and sputum from the bronchi and alveoli;

Pharmacodynamics of the drug

Based on thermopsis lanceolate grass, cough tablets are most often used as an antitussive medicine. The mechanism of action of the herbal preparation is that the herb has pronounced expectorant (mucoregulatory) properties.

This is due to irritation of receptors that are localized on the mucous membrane of the organs of the respiratory system and reflex stimulation of the secretion of the glands of the entire bronchial tree.

The above effect is reflex in nature due to irritation of the inner lining of the stomach and activation of the branches of the vagus nerve (has a strong effect on the functions of the intestines, bronchi, heart muscle).

Thus, under the influence of the plant, the villi of the ciliated epithelium begin to work in one direction and quickly remove sputum.

As you know, well-dissolved mucus is excreted from the lungs much faster than thick mucus. Thermopsis tablets also contain sodium bicarbonate, which effectively liquefies already formed sputum clots. As a result, the cough becomes rare and productive.

When using high doses of the drug, the alkaloids that make up the plant (thermopsidine, cytisine, pachycarpine) have an exciting effect on the respiratory and vomiting centers of the brain.

The absorption of the active metabolites of the plant worsens and slows down when taken simultaneously with sorbents (Smecta, Laktofiltrum, Enterosgel). If the intake of these drugs is extremely important, then it is necessary to make an interval between the use of the sorbent and perennial tablets (by 1.5-2 hours).

The effect of the phytopreparation is potentiated when taking antibiotics and antiviral drugs.

Probably, many still remember from Soviet times inexpensive ones based on thermopsis with soda 7. Such a drug was often given in pharmacies instead of surrender. Although this remedy was inexpensive, it was effective in the treatment of cough. Some doctors still prescribe these pills to their patients to improve sputum discharge during flu and colds.

How to explain the popularity of the drug

Thermopsis tablets with soda 7 are still popular. If you carefully consider the packaging, then you are unlikely to find a large list of ingredients. Many will be happy about this.

1. Increase the tone of the muscles of the uterus.
2. Ganglioblocking.
3. Antihelminthic.
4. Excitation of the vomiting and respiratory centers.
5. Expectorant.

It is worth noting that the drug perfectly helps to clear the respiratory tract from sputum with a wet cough. But these are not all qualities. The drug allows you to make a dry cough productive.

How the pills work

Herb thermopsis with soda can enhance the secretion of mucus directly in the bronchial tree. In this case, there is an increase in the activity of the ciliated or, in other words, the ciliary epithelium. As a result, it only helps to expel mucus. In addition, the drug increases the tone of the smooth muscles of the bronchi.

The drug based on this plant enhances breathing. This is due to the excitation of the respiratory center. Such an action also enhances the effect and contributes to the speedy release of sputum.

It should be borne in mind that after taking thermopsis-based tablets, there is a significant increase in the amount of mucus, as well as an increase in cough. The drug makes the sputum less viscous. As a result, mucus is more gently removed from the respiratory tract.

Soda, which is part of the drug, also has a thinning effect on sputum.

Contraindications

The mechanism of action of tablets

After taking the tablets, the active ingredients are gradually absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. From here, the medicine enters the bloodstream, and then into the membrane of the trachea and bronchi. Here the drug has an irritating effect. As a result, the reflex secretion of bronchial secretion increases. In this case, the patient begins to cough often, which contributes to the speedy purification of the respiratory tract.

Features of the drug

The thermopsis grass in the brain excites not only the respiratory center, but also the vomiting center, which is located very close by. That is why after taking the medicine in large doses, vomiting and nausea may occur. As for small children, they are not able to expectorate sputum. A large number of mucus just accumulates in the lungs. As a result, the opposite effect can be observed.

In addition, the herb stimulates uterine contractions. Previously, this property of the plant was widely used in medicine. The drug based on thermopsis was used to stimulate labor activity. Even the use of cough tablets can provoke premature termination of pregnancy in women.

Of course, when used correctly, the drug is absolutely harmless. The main thing is to follow the rules of admission. Thermopsis grass tablets with soda are an excellent expectorant if used strictly according to the instructions.
