Vixings MedExpecto with honey and ginger flavor for wet cough, WICK Pharma Zweigniederlassung der Procter & Gamble
indications:
The effect of thinning mucus and facilitating coughing in the course of cold and flu-like diseases and acute bronchitis.
Composition:
15 ml of syrup contains 200 mg guaifenesin. The drug contains alcohol, sucrose and sodium (1.3 mmol / 15 ml of syrup).
Action:
Expectorant. Guaifenesin is the ether of guaiacol and glycerol. It shows an increase in secretion (volume and type of secretion), as well as facilitating the expectoration of secretions and significantly reducing the frequency of cough. The study in patients with common cold showed a significant reduction in discomfort due to respiratory obstruction. After oral administration of guaixesine at a dose of 600 mg, the maximum blood concentration was 1.4 mg / ml, and T0,5 in the final phase of elimination - 1 h. Metabolic metabolism of guaifenesine includes hydrolysis and oxidation. The main metabolic products in humans: O-desmethyl-guaifenesine and hydroxy-indifenesine. In patients with impaired renal function, the excretion of guaifenesin is slowed down.
Contraindications:
Hypersensitivity to guaifenesin, levomenthol or to the other components of the drug.
Precautions:
It should only be used after careful consideration of the benefits and risks of patients with renal dysfunction, myasthenia gravis, chronic or persistent cough in the course of bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema or due to smoking, and severe stomach and intestinal diseases. . The drug contains sucrose, which should be taken into account in patients with diabetes mellitus and should not be used in patients with rare, hereditary fructose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption or sucrase-isomaltase deficiency. In addition, it contains sodium, which should be taken into account in patients on a controlled sodium diet and 5% alcohol (0.63 g / 15 ml), which should be taken into account in patients with liver disease, alcohol, epilepsy, organic brain disease, pregnant women, breastfeeding women and children. There are no dosage recommendations and test results on the use of the drug in children under 14 years of age, therefore the use of the drug in this age group is not recommended.
Pregnancy and lactation:
As a precautionary measure, it is recommended to avoid the use of the drug during pregnancy and during breastfeeding. The safety of guaifenesin during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been fully established. Data obtained from a moderate number (1000 pregnant women) of the use of the drug during pregnancy do not indicate that guaifenesine causes malformations or harms the fetus / newborn. Guaifenesin is excreted in breast milk.
Side effects:
Rare: gastrointestinal disorders, including nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. Very rare: Hypersensitivity reactions such as difficulty swallowing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, severe itching with rash or swelling of the skin, coma, confusion, bradycardia, bronchospasm, dyspnoea, granulocytopenia and anaphylactic shock. These reactions may be preceded by fever, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, heartburn or pain. Sensitized hypersensitivity reactions, including dyspnea, may occur in patients who are allergic to levomenthol.
Dosage:
Orally. Adults and adolescents aged> 14 years: 15 ml every 4 hours, up to 6 doses (15 ml each) per day. The drug can be used alone by patients for no more than 3-5 days; if there is no significant improvement after this period, and expectoration of secretions or persistent cough persists, it may suggest a more serious illness, the patient's condition should be re-evaluated. The maximum duration of use is 2 weeks. Do not take this medicine before bedtime.
