BREAST ELIXIR 25ML

Chest elixir - expectorant.

Pharmacodynamics

The expectorant effect of the chest elixir is due to the action of its components:

• Licorice extract thick has anti-inflammatory and expectorant properties, which are associated with its glycyrrhizin content, stimulating the activity of ciliated epithelium in the trachea and bronchi, as well as enhancing the secretory function of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract;
• Anise oil has expectorant action, due to the content of anethole in the oil, which contributes to the reflex excitation of breathing, increased activity of ciliated epithelium of the respiratory tract, and enhancement of secretion by the mucous membrane of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi;
• Ammonia has an irritating effect, which leads to irritation of sensory nerve endings in the upper respiratory tract and reflex stimulation of the respiratory center.
