Like its analogues, it helps to reduce the viscosity of the resulting Sputum and accelerates its excretion from respiratory .
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
Root Marshmallow included in the category of expectorants of natural origin with a reflex action.
The mechanism of action of natural expectorant It lies in the fact that entering the body, they irritate gastric mucosa And this in turn triggers:
- reflex gain function glands Located in the submucosa wall bronchi (sero-mucous glands);
- increase the number of images Sputum ;
- Changes in its viscosity (under the influence expectorants sputum thickens and becomes more fluid, which facilitates its excretion).
The main effects of which are valued root Marshmallow They are:
- expectorant;
- moderate antitussive;
- anti-inflammatory;
- enveloping.
Medicinal properties of the plant due to its high content in the roots of the gums: they account for about 35% of the chemical composition alteynogo root.
Basically mucous substances represented polysaccharides (saharokolloidami) pentosans and geksozanami Which form during hydrolysis monosaccharide pentose . galactose and characterized by the ability, swelling in water infusions, to increase in volume.
Thanks to this feature extract alteynogo root Standing out with a secret bronchial glands , Has enveloping effect and covers mucosa and skin a thin layer of a kind of protective film.
This layer is maintained on the surface for a long time and serves as a reliable barrier against the aggressive action of harmful factors:
- too cold or dry air;
- irritating particles of food;
- desiccation, etc ..
In addition, the resulting muco-polysaccharide complex is well adsorbs waste products microbes and Virus and Toxins That stand amazed epithelial cells , As it inactivates the Toxins and it does not allow their contact with mucosa .
Under the protective film significantly decreases the activity of the inflammatory process, softens inflammatory plaque, reduces swelling of tissues, facilitate the process of spontaneous tissue regeneration and will heal the affected erosions and ulcers surface.
Besides polysaccharide complex in the chemical composition of marshmallow root also includes:
- starch (37%);
- essential for the human body naturally occurring amino acids L-asparagine (from 2 to 19, 8%) and Betaine (4%);
- sugar (8%);
- pectins (11 to 16%);
- fatty oil (from 1 to 1, 6%);
- carotene ;
- lecithin ;
- phytosterols ;
- mineral salts;
- uronic acid.
Chewable tablets:
- have moderate severity antitussive effect ;
- help reduce the number of attacks Cough and their intensity;
- It helps normalize altered bronchopulmonary secretion ;
- reduced viscosities Sputum and improves its adhesive properties;
- facilitates removal Sputum from the lower divisions respiratory the upper, thereby contributing to its better expectoration .
This pills are classified as non-toxic drugs, and does not cause the development of the local irritant effect.
The syrup is prepared on the basis of extract alteynogo root It is a complex herbal remedy. Its main active ingredients are complex polysaccharides . pectins . starch and amino acids .
Getting in gastrointestinal tract , Syrup Cough :
- stimulates secretion bronchial and salivary glands ;
- stimulates education Sputum ;
- contributes to the normalization of rheological properties Sputum (i.e., viscosity and elasticity parameters which are determined contained in sputum proteins . glycoproteins . enzymes . microorganisms and their waste products, etc.);
- enhancing peristalsis bronchioles and normalizes motility covering the inner part ciliated epithelium of bronchi , To increase the rate of transport of mucus from the lower divisions respiratory a top;
- It has a strong cytoprotective action, protecting normal cell from the damaging effects of aggressive factors and activating regeneration processes mucosa ;
- anti-inflammatory effect.
Furthermore, syrup reduces gastric secretion . Moreover, the duration and severity of gastroprotective action depend entirely on performance gastric acidity : What they are higher, the longer and harder gastroprotective effect.
This is because the viscosity of the mucus increases plant during its interaction with hydrochloric acid Contained in gastric juice .
Data on the pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug manufacturer is not granted.
