Compound

Fluifort is a syrup for children, reviews of which speak of the high effectiveness of the active substance, belongs to the group of mucolytic drugs.

Base substance	Excipients
Lysine carbocisteine	Sucrose, caramel, flavor, water.

The drug contains 9 g of the base element, 100 ml of purified water. The international name of the drug is carbocisteine. It is an active substance that has mucolytic and expectorant effects. Carbocisteine ​​destroys the bonds of mucopolysaccharides of the duosulfate type, and also completely changes the charge of its ions, which affects the consistency of sputum.

Mechanism of action

The drug has 2 main effects:

• Mucolytic. It is produced due to the cleavage of the molecular bonds formed by the elements of sputum by the active substance. The result of this action is a more liquid consistency of the secreted secretion and the provocation of the natural excretion of the secretion from the body.
• Expectorants. This action is called secretomotor, since it starts the process of excretion of mucous sputum and facilitates the activity of the respiratory organs that are susceptible to disease.

At what age is prescribed

Fluifort is a syrup for children, reviews of which are given by leading pediatricians, is prescribed for admission to children over 1 year old. It is not recommended for infants under 12 months of age due to a possible allergic reaction to the excipients of the drug.

Indications for use

Pediatricians prescribe Fluifort in certain cases. The main indication for the appointment is the presence of difficult to separate mucous secretions.

Diseases in which the use of syrup is fully justified:

• Laryngotracheitis. The disease is diagnosed mainly in children under 14 years of age. Symptoms of laryngotracheitis are nasal discharge, partial nasal congestion, pain when swallowing, and fever. At a certain stage of the disease, the sick child's voice disappears, the cough becomes harsh, exhausting.
• Bronchitis. This disease can develop as an independent process or be a concomitant symptom of the current virus. Insufficient activity of the ciliated epithelium leads to the formation of viscous sputum in the bronchopulmonary tree and a deterioration in air conductivity. Insufficient chest muscles and weakness of the cough center in children contribute to the accumulation of thick secretions in the bronchi, which leads to the development of frequent cough spasms.
• Otitis. This disease is most often diagnosed in children under 5 years of age. Inflammation of one of the ear sections is accompanied by an increase in body temperature, nasal congestion, and coughing. Mucolytic and expectorant drugs for otitis media are prescribed in order to relieve a local symptom.
• Sinusitis, sinusitis. Inflammation of the maxillary paranasal sinuses is characterized by acute nasal congestion, which can provoke swelling of the laryngeal mucosa. In addition to the nasal discharge of a viscous secretion, mucus flows down the back wall of the larynx, which, in turn, provokes a prolonged cough spasm with a characteristic secretion separation. To facilitate breathing, children are prescribed mucolytic and expectorant drugs.
• Bronchial asthma. The disease is a chronic type, the main characteristic of which is the narrowing of the lumen in the bronchi. Because of this, a cough occurs, which is characterized by the presence of transparent viscous sputum. Mucolytics are indicated for the elimination of a local symptom, as well as for the removal of edema from the mucous membranes of the larynx.
• Pneumonia. Inflammation of the lung tissue requires complex therapy. To eliminate a productive cough spasm, mucolytes are prescribed, which have an additional expectorant effect.

Fluifort, a syrup for children, is additionally prescribed for various medical procedures, such as bronchoscopy. It is also recommended in the postoperative period associated with manipulations on the airways and ENT organs. In this case, the drug facilitates the removal of the secretion formed after surgery.

Fluifort can be prescribed for bronchial asthma, as well as pneumonitis caused by inhalation of chemicals and gases.

For what cough can you take Fluifort syrup?

The appointment of cough syrup for children is associated with an analysis of the nature of the cough. Mucolytic and expectorant drugs may be prescribed to treat a specific type of cough that is associated with sputum production.

A dry cough is a symptom that manifests itself at the very onset of an illness of the upper or lower respiratory tract. It requires the appointment of a different therapy regimen. For the treatment of dry cough, doctors recommend drugs that induce sputum production or act on the cough center to suppress spasms.

Fluifort syrup is prescribed for children only when the cough takes on the character of a productive spasm with the obligatory separation of a viscous secret. According to pediatricians, this drug helps to gradually clear the bronchi, smoothly provokes the natural secretion of mucus.

Description of cough as a symptom when Fluifort syrup is indicated:

• Productive cough. This is a cough spasm, during which the bronchi produce mucous secretions. An attack provokes a partial separation of mucus by coughing up the accumulated substance.
• Productive cough with hard-to-remove secretions. This is one of the varieties of the protective mechanism that is characteristic of laryngotracheitis, bronchitis, and some types of infectious rhinitis. During a coughing attack, viscous mucus is formed inside the bronchi, but the attack does not help to remove it from the body, but only helps to move to the bottom of the bronchopulmonary tree. The accumulation of mucus leads to difficulty breathing, an increase in body temperature, and the development of infectious inflammation. In this case, the action of mucolytic agents is aimed at thinning the mucous secretion.
• Unproductive cough. This is a type of wet cough, which is accompanied by the presence of bubbling sounds that are heard from behind the sternum. It is characterized by: nasal congestion, increased edema of the laryngeal mucosa. With this type of cough, the secret is almost unable to separate naturally due to the narrowing of the bronchial lumen.
