Mechanism of action of the drug

The combination of medicinal herb extract and potassium bromide has a complex effect:

• soothes excessively strong coughing attacks;
• promotes the transition of a dry non-productive cough to a wet one, increasing the volume of sputum and facilitating its removal from the respiratory tract;
• reduces irritation of the functional epithelium by clots of mucous secretion;
• helps reduce the inflammatory process;
• facilitates and restores breathing during acute respiratory infections.

Pertussin activates circulation in tissues, reduces symptoms of bronchial inflammation and accelerates recovery in children and adults with mild and moderate forms of colds, although it does not affect the pathological process itself. Natural components ensure rapid action of the drug: 15–20 minutes after consuming the dose. The liquid is actively absorbed from the stomach cavity into the bloodstream, reducing symptoms within 2–4 hours. The therapeutic effect - an increase in sputum volume and cough productivity increases as treatment continues.

Composition, dosage form

A medication that relieves the respiratory system from the consequences of the inflammatory process is available in a single form. This is a syrupy solution for oral administration: a homogeneous liquid of dark brown color, sweet, with a light herbal aroma and a characteristic specific taste. The syrup is packaged in glass bottles with a volume of 50 to 125 ml and has secondary packaging - cardboard boxes, which contain detailed instructions for its use.

The drug contains 2 active compounds:

• creeping thyme herb extract (thyme): a plant that has an anti-inflammatory and expectorant effect; 100 ml of solution contains 12 g of the drug;
• potassium bromide: has a calming effect, reduces the excitability of the central nervous system centers responsible for cough reflexes; 10 ml of syrup contains 0.1 g of bromide.

The basis of the medicinal liquid is distilled water. Ethyl alcohol in microdoses (80 or 96%) and sugar syrup were added to the medicine as auxiliary and preservative components.

In addition to the drug called Pertussin, there is a variant on sale called Pertussin Ch, the composition and purpose of which is completely identical to the original. The difference may be in some stages of production.

• acute and chronic bronchitis during periods of exacerbation;
• for acute respiratory viral infections;
• with pneumonia;
• whooping cough

Pertussin is indicated for use from the age of 3 years. But in some cases, pediatricians recommend using it for younger patients: 2.5 or 2 years, if there are no contraindications. It is noted that the syrup helps get rid of cough at any stage of the inflammatory process. However, taking it at the initial signs significantly reduces the recovery time.

If necessary, Pertussin is allowed to be combined with other mucolytic and antibacterial drugs taken orally.

Treatment regimens and doses: instructions

The syrup must be taken several times a day at intervals of 4–6 hours, measuring the required volume using a spoon:

• children 3–6 years old: 1 tsp. (2.5 ml) three times a day;
• from 6 to 12 years: 2 tsp. or 1 tbsp. l. 2–4 times a day, depending on the severity of the symptoms of the disease, the daily dose of the medicine is about 10 ml;
• teenagers and adults are allowed to drink 1.5 tbsp. l. syrup three times a day or 1 tbsp. l. 4–6 times, while the daily volume of syrup should not exceed 45 ml.

Pertussin does not require additional dilution; its sweet taste allows very young patients to drink it without disgust. Recommended time of use: 30–60 minutes after meals, do not take the syrup on an empty stomach.

The duration of treatment depends on the severity of inflammation of the respiratory tract and is 7–10 days. The maximum course of taking Pertussin without a break is 2 weeks.

The medicine requires careful use in cases of carbohydrate metabolism disorders or diabetes, as it contains sugar. Adults should stop driving immediately after consuming the product due to the presence of ethyl alcohol in the syrup.

Composition of Pertussin-Ch syrup

Pertussin for children

The official instructions for children allow the drug to be taken only when the patient reaches 3 years of age, but in practice there are cases of this medicine being used by younger children.

At what age can Pertussin be given, for what cough should it be prescribed and how to take it to children should be determined by a pediatrician individually in each individual case, taking into account the weight and height of the child. This is confirmed by reviews of syrup for children, which, in the case of uncomplicated respiratory diseases , often independently copes with the appearance of a dry cough ( thinning and discharge of sputum ) and does not require the addition of other similar drugs to the treatment.

Review Reviews

The drug receives high ratings from most patients. The average rating of Pertussin-Ch syrup is 4.6/5. The advantages of the drug include:

• efficiency;
• pleasant smell and taste;
• natural composition;
• rare occurrence of side effects;
• affordable price.

Among the negative aspects, a large number of contraindications stand out. In addition, the syrup is not always effective for severe cough. In some cases it causes an allergic reaction. A minor drawback is the inconvenient lid, which is difficult to remove.
