Breast Elixir: instructions for use, price, reviews, how to drink the drug

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Breast Elixir is a combined action expectorant, the effectiveness of which is due to the action of its active ingredients.

Thick licorice extract is characterized by its expectorant and anti-inflammatory effects, due to the presence of glycyrrhizin , which has a stimulating effect in the bronchi and trachea on the function of ciliated epithelial , as well as increasing the secretion of the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract.

The irritating effect of an aqueous solution of ammonia in the upper respiratory tract triggers the excitatory mechanisms of sensitive nerve cells and reflex stimulation of the respiratory center .

Thanks to anethole , contained in anise oil , its expectorant effect is manifested, as well as the effects of reflex stimulation of breathing , increased activity of ciliated epithelial and increased secretion of the mucous membrane of the trachea , larynx and bronchi .

Pharmacological properties:

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

— thick licorice extract has anti-inflammatory and expectorant properties, which are associated with the content of glycyrrhizin in the roots, which stimulates the activity of the 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 an expectorant effect due to the content of anethole in the oil, which promotes reflex stimulation of breathing, increased activity of the ciliated epithelium of the respiratory tract and increased secretion of the mucous membranes of the larynx, trachea and bronchi;

- ammonia has an irritating effect, which leads to excitation of the endings of the sensory nerves of the upper respiratory tract and reflex stimulation of the respiratory center.

Pharmacokinetics. No data available.
