Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

This combined antitussive agent is created on a plant basis, the primary effect in which the root extract of the cowslip. As you know, in the root of the cowslip contains a lot of useful substances, namely: saponins, vitamin C and glycerides of the triterpene series. The antitussive effect of this drug is provided by saponins, which enhance bronchopulmonary secretion, dilute and increase the volume of phlegm, facilitating its excretion. They also help in the formation of a protective film on mucous respiratory organs and pathways, reducing the irritating effects of cough receptors, eliminating the cough reflex.
In addition, the effectiveness of the drug with senile cough, which arises due to a decrease in the contractility of the heart, is manifested.
