Precautionary measures
If, while taking the drug, the symptoms of the disease persist for more than 1 week or shortness of breath occurs, the temperature rises, or purulent sputum appears, you should consult a doctor. Not recommended for use in children under 4 years of age. The drug is not recommended for use simultaneously with other drugs containing ascorbic acid. It is not recommended for use in patients with rapidly proliferating and intensively metastasizing tumors, because this can aggravate the process. When using the drug, it is possible to distort the results of various laboratory tests (blood glucose, bilirubin, liver transaminase and LDH activity). Due to the stimulating effect of ascorbic acid on the synthesis of corticosteroid hormones, it is necessary to monitor renal function and blood pressure. With long-term use of large doses, inhibition of the function of the pancreatic insular apparatus is possible, so it must be regularly monitored during treatment. Due to the presence of sucrose in the syrup, the drug is contraindicated in cases of fructose intolerance, impaired glucose or galactose absorption syndrome, or sucrase-isomaltase deficiency. Children Before using the drug in children over 4 years of age, it is recommended to consult a doctor.
Interaction with other drugs
If you are currently or have recently taken other medications, tell your doctor. The composition of the drug Thyme with vitamin C includes ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid: increases the concentration of benzylpenicillin and tetracyclines in the blood. Improves the absorption of Fe preparations in the intestines (converts ferric iron to divalent iron); may increase iron excretion when used concomitantly with deferoxamine. Reduces the effectiveness of heparin and indirect anticoagulants. Acetylsalicylic acid, oral contraceptives, fresh juices and alkaline drinks reduce the absorption and absorption of ascorbic acid. When used simultaneously with acetylsalicylic acid, the urinary excretion of ascorbic acid increases and the excretion of acetylsalicylic acid decreases. Acetylsalicylic acid reduces the absorption of ascorbic acid by approximately 30%. Increases the risk of developing crystalluria during treatment with salicylates and short-acting sulfonamides, slows down the excretion of acids by the kidneys, increases the excretion of drugs that have an alkaline reaction (including alkaloids), and reduces the concentration of oral contraceptives in the blood. Increases the overall clearance of ethanol, which in turn reduces the concentration of ascorbic acid in the body. With the simultaneous use of ascorbic acid and isoprenaline, the chronotropic effect of isoprenaline decreases. Barbiturates and primidone increase the excretion of ascorbic acid in the urine. Reduces the therapeutic effect of antipsychotic drugs (neuroleptics)? phenothiazine derivatives, tubular reabsorption of amphetamine and tricyclic antidepressants. Drugs of the quiniline series (fluoroquinolones, etc.), calcium chloride, salicylates, glucocorticosteroids with long-term use deplete ascorbic acid reserves. Concomitant use of disulfiram and ascorbic acid in high doses or for a long time may interfere with the disulfiram-alcohol interaction. Ascorbic acid in high doses may increase the excretion of mexilitine. Combined use of cellulose with sodium phosphate may result in the conversion of ascorbic acid to oxalates. There is no information available regarding the interactions of thyme herb extract. Storage conditions and shelf life: Protected from light at a temperature not exceeding 25 °C. Keep out of the reach of children. Shelf life: 18 months. Use within 10 days after opening the bottle. Do not use after the expiration date indicated on the package.

From the endocrine system: inhibition of the function of the insular apparatus of the pancreas (hyperglycemia, glycosuria). From the urinary system: when used in high doses, hyperoxalaturia and the formation of urinary stones and calcium oxalate. From the cardiovascular system: thrombosis, when used in high doses, increased blood pressure, development of microangiopathies, myocardial dystrophy. Allergic reactions: skin rash, rarely? anaphylactic shock. Laboratory indicators: thrombocytosis, hyperprothrombinemia, erythropenia, neutrophilic leukocytosis, hypokalemia.

What is thyme and why is it famous?
Thyme is a small herbaceous and very unpretentious essential oil plant, widely distributed in all climatic zones, on all continents. Its other name is creeping thyme from the Latin timus (small). People call it Bogorodskaya grass, because since ancient times miraculous properties have been attributed to it and used in religious rituals.
Ancient papyri indicate that thyme was used by Paracelsus and Avicenna to treat many diseases, based on experience. Modern medicine has laid the scientific foundation by determining the chemical composition and properties of thyme.
It contains many useful substances:
- essential (volatile) oils that have aromatic properties, calm the nervous system, dilate the bronchi, eliminate spasms;
- flavonoids – substances with antioxidant properties that cleanse the body;
- terpenes (thymol, carvacrol), which have antiseptic and stimulating properties;
- tannins with anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous effects;
- gum that stimulates recovery processes;
- organic pigments are powerful antioxidants;
- minerals necessary for cellular metabolism;
- vitamins – A, all group B, C, E, K, PP.
Such a rich composition of the plant allows it to be used for medicinal purposes in medicine and as a pleasant, healthy additive to the diet. Thyme is officially recognized by the world pharmacopoeia and is included in a number of internal and external medicines.
