Additionally, herbal ingredients have a bronchodilator effect, eliminate irritation of the respiratory tract with frequent coughing. Dilution of sputum leads to its rapid evacuation and cleansing of the bronchi from mucus. Often, sputum stagnation leads to the multiplication of microorganisms in it, which provoke the progression of the inflammatory process and the development of complications.

Pharmacokinetics

Bronchipret is a syrup for children (reviews about the remedy are usually left by parents who gave the child the medicine in courses), which is quickly absorbed in the body after a single dose of the prescribed dosage. Plant substances are concentrated in the affected area, which allows for a therapeutic effect.

They do not accumulate in tissues, which helps reduce the likelihood of developing an overdose. The maximum concentration in the body is reached 1 hour after oral administration. For several days, the first result is noted, but a lasting effect is noticeable only after a course of use in combination with other drugs.

The processing of herbal ingredients is carried out in the patient's liver. The components are quickly evacuated by the kidneys, a small amount is excreted in the feces. Disruption of the digestive system leads to a deterioration in the absorption of the syrup, and kidney pathologies complicate excretion.

The absence of a cumulative effect is considered an advantage of the drug, since the accumulation of components increases the likelihood of complications and allergic reactions. Experts draw the attention of patients that plant substances more often lead to such complications.
