Fluifort powder. Reviews, instructions for use for adults, for children

Fluifort is powder, which is actively used to treat patients with pathologies of the respiratory system. Reviews of its use in most cases are positive, which confirms its effectiveness. Despite this, therapy should be prescribed by a doctor, which reduces the risk of complications. After using the drug, a persistent improvement is noted, as well as a halt in the progression of the disease.

Terms of dispensing from pharmacies, drug price

You can buy sachets of powder at different pharmacies for about 280 rubles. This is the cost of a package containing 10 bags of granules.

Dispensing of medication in different pharmacies is carried out without presenting a prescription form from a doctor, which facilitates acquisition, but increases the likelihood of developing complications as a result of uncontrolled application.

Composition, release form

The drug can be found in pharmacies in the form of granules, packaged in small paper bags. Each package contains a single therapeutic dosage of the medication, which facilitates dosing during the therapy period. A small cardboard box contains 10 medicine bags.

The granules are creamy in color, standard shape and size, and are designed to produce a suspension that is taken orally. The main ingredient in the composition of the drug is carbocisteine, which has a therapeutic effect on the organs of the respiratory system.

Granules contain a small amount of auxiliary ingredients:

• Aspartame.
• Cedar flavor.
• Mannitol.
• Lemon acid.
• Powdered orange juice.

These substances provide the aroma and taste of the finished drug after the granules are dissolved. They have no therapeutic effect. The amount of active ingredient per packet is 2.7 mg.

A description is attached to the medicine. It details all the nuances of the application, possible contraindications for use, complications.

Principle of operation and efficiency

Fluifort is a powder (reviews of the remedy are mostly positive), which is considered very effective in combating pathologies of the respiratory system. The principle of action is based on the ability of the active ingredient to stimulate the excretion of phlegm from the lungs and bronchi, which accumulates as a result of the development of the inflammatory process.

The tool not only improves the excretion of phlegm, but also dilutes the secretion. With thickening of mucus, there is a deterioration in the general condition and difficulty in evacuating sputum. That is why liquefaction of the mucous secretion is required for its rapid elimination.

When a large amount of mucus accumulates, microorganisms multiply, which provoke an aggravation of symptoms and spread to healthy tissues. With a prolonged course of the disease, the development of complications is noted, precisely due to an increase in the number of bacteria of various types.

The drug helps to eliminate cough provoked by the accumulation of sputum or its thickening and impaired discharge.

Another effect of the drug is noted:

• The medication improves the condition of the tissues of the lungs and bronchi, which has a positive effect on the course of the disease, and helps prevent complications.
• Prevents the progression of the inflammatory process. The drug does not have a direct effect on the course of the inflammatory process, but the elimination of phlegm and the prevention of the spread of microbes helps to significantly alleviate the condition.
• Helps to shorten the recovery period, as it speeds up the process of elimination of phlegm and pathogens from the respiratory tract.
• It stimulates the work of the ciliary epithelium, which ensures the excretion of sputum during coughing, prevents the development of complications, since it does not allow mucus to accumulate on the tissues.
• Helps to increase the patient's immunity, which reduces the likelihood of re-development of the inflammatory process.
• Promotes the restoration of cells of the bronchi and lungs.

  

The complex effect of the remedy helps to ensure the effectiveness of therapy. When taken orally, the ingredients are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream through the walls of the small intestine. The maximum concentration of the substance is reached 1 hour after taking a single therapeutic dose.

The first effect of therapy appears a few days after the start of taking the drug. The processing of the active component is carried out in the patient's liver, and the products of its decay are evacuated with the help of the kidneys. With violations on the part of these organs, there is a deterioration in metabolism and excretion. This usually does not lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of the treatment, but it can slightly increase the concentration of the ingredients in the blood.

Pharmacokinetic features may differ in patients of different ages. They also depend on the course of the underlying disease.

Indications for use

Fluifort is used for various respiratory disorders, if you study the reviews of patients.

The powder has the following indications for use:

• Cough of varying severity, which occurs in the absence of signs of inflammation.
• Acute and chronic bronchitis. Usually, the medicine is used to prevent the worsening of symptoms, as well as to alleviate the general condition.
• Pneumonia, accompanied by the formation of a viscous secretion in the lungs, which prevents the excretion of sputum and recovery. With such a disease, the agent often acts as a concomitant method, since the main treatment is aimed at eliminating signs of inflammation.
• Tracheitis and tracheobronchitis, accompanied by the formation of a viscous secretion.
• Bronchial asthma with frequent coughing fits and associated abnormalities. The drug is prescribed as an auxiliary treatment, it is imperative to use other medications that reduce the frequency of attacks.

In some cases, the drug may be included in the course of therapy for the upper respiratory tract, for example, for sinusitis, adenoids, rhinitis or otitis media. The decision to use the medication in these cases is made by the doctor after a preliminary diagnostic examination.

Contraindications and side effects

The medication is not used in the event of an allergy to its components or a tendency to such manifestations. The tool can provoke complications, so it is important to take into account all contraindications.

The main barriers to treatment are:

• Phenylketonuria at various stages of development. The medication leads to an aggravation of the symptoms of the disorder, therefore its use is dangerous for patients.
• Diagnosis of failure of the liver, kidneys. Violation of the processing and removal of ingredients leads to a deterioration in the condition, as well as an aggravation of the underlying disease.
• Acute course of gastritis, peptic ulcer with increased acidity of gastric juice.
• The patient's age is up to 16 years.
• The period of bearing a child at different times and breastfeeding. Experts say that there is not enough data on the effect of the ingredient in the composition on the body of a woman and a child. That is why the drug is not used.
• Intestinal obstruction, accompanied by complications from other organs.
• Rehabilitation of a patient after undergoing surgery on the abdominal organs. After tissue restoration, the appointment of granules is allowed.
• Internal bleeding caused by damage to the mucous membranes of the digestive tract.
• Shock due to trauma or other reactions.
• Blood pathologies, accompanied by a violation of hematopoiesis.

The drug is prescribed with caution to patients who suffer from severe pathologies of the heart and blood vessels. In each case, there may be individual contraindications for the patient.

Fluifort is a powder (reviews of a medicine help many patients to preliminarily assess its effectiveness), provoking complications if the instructions are violated. Compliance with the recommendations does not guarantee the absence of complications. Disorders usually affect not only the respiratory system, but also the work of other organs.

Damage area	Most common adverse reactions
Nervous system	During the period of therapy, the patient's nervous system does not suffer so often. Sometimes patients have a headache, weakness and fatigue, decreased performance. Sleep disturbance during treatment can provoke a loss of energy and a lack of interest in normal activities. In patients, migraine may appear if there is a history of such manifestations.
Respiratory system	On the part of the respiratory system, disorders do not appear so often. In the first days of therapy, the cough may worsen, which is not considered a reason to refuse treatment. If symptoms worsen, complications appear, and there is no improvement, discontinue use and visit a doctor.
Digestive tract	Pain in the stomach and intestines during treatment is often observed, especially if there is a history of chronic digestive system pathologies. Some talk about nausea and vomiting, as well as upset stools. Lack of appetite leads to worsening of symptoms. Patients have a strong thirst, possibly the development of dehydration, which worsens the general condition and the work of other organs.
Skin and mucous membranes	Allergic manifestations are observed when the instructions are violated, but can appear when it is observed in patients who have a tendency to such manifestations. Symptoms are standard for most patients, manifested in the form of rash and itching of the skin, peeling and irritation. Gradually, itching intensifies, which forces patients to scratch the affected area. Damage to the outer layer of the skin leads to a deterioration in the general condition, and also increases the likelihood of developing bacterial inflammation. In severe allergies, there is swelling of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, nasal passages, and eyes. Against the background of these changes, systemic disorders appear.

The severity of negative reactions differs in different patients. For many, complications disappear immediately after discontinuation of therapy, others go to the doctor, since the use of drugs is required to normalize the condition.

It is not recommended to ignore the disorders, as this increases the risk of developing an overdose against the background of the accumulation of the ingredients of the composition in the blood and tissues. In case of an overdose, all manifestations are expressed in an acute form, requiring the use of medicines to improve the condition.

Instructions for use

Fluifort is a powder (reviews of the medication can be negative when complications appear during treatment), used only to obtain a suspension that is taken orally. In each case, the dosage and duration of treatment is different, depending on the severity of the manifestations and associated deviations.

The standard therapeutic regimen assumes taking 1 dose of powder per day after preliminary dissolution of the granules in 200 ml of pure water. The water should not be hot, but it is allowed to warm it up a little. The solution is prepared immediately before use, since its storage negatively affects the composition of the medicine.

Only sometimes it is allowed to divide the finished medicine into 2 parts and take it during the day. The duration of therapeutic use is 4-14 days, depending on the severity of the manifestations. But the duration can vary for each patient. The maximum course lasts 6 months, but the use during this period must be prescribed by a doctor.

For adolescents over 16 years old and adults, the features of therapy do not differ, the dosage does not change. The duration of treatment for adolescents may be reduced, which is associated with the rapid onset of the therapeutic effect.

When coughing

If a patient is diagnosed with a cough of different origin and severity, a course of therapy is prescribed for 2-4 weeks. The daily dose of the drug for the patient does not exceed 1 packet, which is dissolved in water according to the standard scheme.

Doctors recommend taking the ready-made suspension in the morning, since the expectorant properties do not appear immediately, and the use in the evening leads to sleep disturbance due to an intensifying cough. Aggravation of symptoms in the first few days of therapy is considered a normal reaction of the body and is not a reason for refusing treatment.

In the absence of a therapeutic effect within 2 weeks of correct use, you must visit a doctor. Perhaps the medication is not suitable for a particular patient and another medication is required.

For bronchitis

If the patient suffers from acute and chronic bronchitis, the daily dosage does not change and is 1 packet of granules. Dissolve them according to the standard scheme, take in the morning at a time.

In the acute course of the disorder, the duration of the course is 1-3 weeks, but the chronic form requires more prolonged use. Typically, therapy in this case lasts up to 6 weeks, but on an individual basis, it is possible to change the duration according to indications.

Lack of effect is considered a reason for refusing therapy. The doctor himself does not recommend stopping treatment or changing the dosage, as this provokes complications.

With sinusitis

Fluifort is a powder (it is recommended to study reviews of the medicine before using it), prescribed for sinusitis in combination with other drugs. This helps to shorten the recovery time and prevents complications.

The daily norm for a patient does not exceed 1 packet, it is taken in the morning after preliminary dissolution in 200 ml of water. The duration of therapy for such a violation is 2 weeks. In most cases, longer courses are not required, as the symptoms gradually disappear.

With tracheitis

If the patient suffers from tracheitis of varying severity, the use of the drug is prescribed in combination with other means. This increases efficiency and reduces the risk of inflammation spreading to the bronchi and lungs.

The duration of therapeutic use usually does not exceed 3 weeks, and the daily rate, as in other disorders, is 1 packet of granules. Dilution and use of the finished suspension is carried out according to the standard scheme.

Analogues, prices

The drug has analogues, which in most cases are produced in a different form, but have the same therapeutic properties.

The most common substitutes are:

• Mucolic also contains carbocisteine ​​as the main active ingredient, but is available as a syrup for oral administration. the agent stimulates the excretion of sputum and prevents the spread of the pathological process to healthy tissues. The cost of the substitute is approximately 120-170 rubles.
• ACC contains acetylcysteine ​​in the composition, but has pronounced expectorant properties. The drug is prescribed to patients with the aim of treating cough and improving the condition of the respiratory system. Unlike the original, the medicine is available not only in the form of syrup and granules, but also in the form of special effervescent tablets, which are designed to be dissolved in water before taking. The cost of the analogue is 80-150 rubles.

Depending on the disease, the doctor can choose another substitute for the patient, but take medication it is not recommended on its own, since each remedy has contraindications and can provoke negative reactions.
