Gerbion syrup for dry cough: instructions on how to take for adults and children

Gerbion is a drug that has antibacterial and immunomodulatory effects. The medicine is most often prescribed to children to treat dry cough. Gerbion syrup is sold in pharmacies in two types, taking into account the presence of the active ingredient - plantain and primrose. Each of them has its own positive effect, therefore, it should be prescribed by a doctor. Since Gerbion is produced in two forms, the composition, pharmacological action, and instructions for use are different for each type of product.

Types of syrups

Only natural ingredients are included in Gerbion syrups for wet coughs. The instructions for use indicate the mechanism of action of the medicine; it depends on the main ingredient. Currently, several types of syrups are produced:

• with primrose;
• ivy;
• plantain.

The drugs are available in 150 ml bottles. Each package of syrup includes a measuring spoon.

Reviews

As for reviews of Gerbion syrups during pregnancy, the vast majority of them are positive.

On the forums of women's websites, there are often discussions about the use of syrups in the 1st trimester of pregnancy. It turns out that many doctors, after weighing the risks and benefits, prescribe Gerbion to pregnant women even in the early stages.

As for the effectiveness of syrups, in general, women note good treatment results in a short period of time, and significant cough relief occurs already on the 2-3rd day of using the medicine.

Dry and wet cough

Before purchasing the required type of syrup, you need to visit a doctor and find out the origin of the disease and the type of cough. The choice of the Gerbion composition will depend on this. The instructions warn that dry cough syrups do not help with coughs with phlegm. With the first, severe redness and irritation of the throat occurs, the mucus does not clear, and it becomes difficult to breathe. With the second, the inflammation of the throat is not so severe, a lot of mucus comes out. This symptom is called a productive cough.

If you need to relieve a dry cough, you will need a medicine that thins the mucus and promotes sputum removal. Such drugs are called mucolytics.

If the patient is bothered by a cough with sputum, then medications are prescribed that soften the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract, disinfect affected areas and accelerate the release of sputum.

Cough in pregnant women

Cough itself is not a disease, it is just a protective reaction of the body to clear the airways. Most often, this symptom occurs when viruses or bacteria infect the upper respiratory tract, causing inflammation. Cough occurs due to various diseases, including:

• ARVI;
• laryngitis;
• tracheitis;
• bronchitis and a number of other diseases.

Sometimes the appearance of a cough is not associated with an infection; this symptom can appear with allergies, stomach diseases, and even heart failure. Therefore, before you start treating a cough, you must find out its cause.

Cough is not just an unpleasant symptom; its occurrence during pregnancy is especially dangerous. The fact is that when coughing, the abdominal muscles instinctively tense, and this can cause uterine hypertonicity.

In other words, prolonged coughing attacks can cause a miscarriage. The first trimester is especially dangerous in this regard, but even in later stages you should not take your health lightly. In addition, muscle contraction cuts off the supply of oxygen to the developing child, and fetal hypoxia can have the most dire consequences.

Prolonged attacks of dry cough are especially dangerous. They are not only exhausting, but also cause an increase in blood pressure. And this is already very dangerous, as it increases the risk of developing a serious complication - placental abruption, which threatens the life of the fetus.

However, the danger of a wet cough during pregnancy should not be underestimated either. Therefore, when a cough appears, you should not expect this symptom to go away on its own. You need to seek medical help and undergo the prescribed course of treatment.

Primrose syrup

“Syrup with primrose” is a drug “Gerbion” for wet cough. The composition and properties of this product help free the bronchi from phlegm. The syrup contains the following extracts:

1. Primrose root. This substance has expectorant properties.
2. Thyme essential oil. It has a bronchodilator effect and facilitates the passage of mucus.
3. Menthol. It has an analgesic and bactericidal effect on the respiratory mucosa.

The instructions for Gerbion syrup for wet coughs recommend taking this remedy for infectious and inflammatory diseases of the respiratory system. The composition with primrose extract and thyme is prescribed only for coughs with sputum discharge. If it is unproductive, it is ineffective and even harmful.

How to take "Gerbion" for a wet cough? Adults are prescribed 2 scoops of the drug (single dose). Children from 2 to 5 years old can take half a spoon at a time, and from 5 to 14 years old - 1 spoon. The medicine is taken 3-5 times a day.

Based on primrose

The composition of this drug contains an aqueous extract of primrose root. It has an expectorant effect, thins thick mucus and promotes expectoration. It also contains thyme extract. Its elements have an expectorant and bronchodilator effect. Incoming menthol is a natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory component. The herbal origin of the medicine allows it to have a mild effect on the body and is easily tolerated by both children and adults .

Syrup with ivy

Ivy syrup is a universal remedy that helps with productive and unproductive coughs. It contains saponins - substances that thin mucus and help remove it. The instructions recommend prescribing this drug from the “Gerbion” line for dry and wet coughs for acute respiratory diseases and chronic bronchial pathologies.

Children 2-6 years old are given 0.5 spoons of the drug twice a day, and from 6 to 14 years old the single dose increases to 1 spoon. Adults are prescribed 1.5 spoons 2 times a day.

Indications for prescribing Gerbion to pregnant women

Advantages of the herbion herb:

• convenient form of release - drinking syrup is more pleasant than swallowing tablets or giving injections;
• no negative effect on the nervous system;
• soft but effective effect;
• minimum contraindications;
• affordable price (on average - from 200 to 300 rubles).

Despite the fact that Herbion contains mainly natural ingredients and vitamins, its use must be agreed with a doctor and can only take place under his supervision. Plantain syrup is indicated for expectant mothers with:

• respiratory tract diseases with non-productive cough;
• night coughing attacks due to a cold;
• “smoker's cough” (women who take care of themselves and want to give birth to a healthy baby are not bothered by this).

Primrose syrup is prescribed for the following symptoms:

• difficult sputum separation during bronchitis (wheezing in the chest);
• viral infections of the upper respiratory tract, in which the cough turns into a wet form, and viscous sputum is released during attacks;
• laryngitis, tracheitis and other cases when the release of sputum is difficult;
• pneumonia with congestive processes in the lower respiratory tract.

Plantain syrup

Plantain syrup is used only for dry coughs. It contains the following components:

• plantain aqueous extract;
• mallow flower extract;
• vitamin C.

The syrup is prescribed for inflammatory respiratory diseases accompanied by a dry cough. The drug is taken 3 times a day. A single dose for an adult is 2 measuring spoons, for a child aged 7-14 years - 1.5 spoons, and for children aged 2-7 years - 1 spoon.

Plantain syrup is a mucolytic, that is, a means of thinning mucus in the bronchi. Taking "Gerbion" cannot be combined with medications that reduce the amount of sputum; this will reduce the therapeutic effect of the drug.

Instructions for use of syrup

Directions for use and dosage

When determining the appropriate dose, it is necessary to take into account the type of medicine, the person's age and the degree of the disease.

Adults take syrup 3 times a day, 10 ml after meals. The medicine must be taken with warm water or unsweetened, lightly brewed tea. You cannot drink syrup on an empty stomach. To consolidate the result, you need to take the drug for at least 10 days, and even better for 15-20 days. The set includes a measuring spoon, which is very convenient to use.

Contraindications

Undesirable effects

Instructions for use of "Gerbion" for wet cough inform that when taking the drug, undesirable symptoms may occur. Such phenomena are often observed in people with allergies to any of the plant components of the syrup. In this case, a rash like urticaria, swelling of the skin, and itching appears. In such cases, you should immediately stop taking the drug and consult a doctor about changing your cough medicine.

If the recommended dose is exceeded, negative manifestations from the gastrointestinal tract are possible. Plant components of syrups can irritate the mucous membranes of the digestive organs. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur. Such phenomena are observed rarely, mainly in patients suffering from stomach diseases. Instructions for use of "Gerbion" for wet cough recommends in such cases to reduce the dosage of the drug or replace the syrup with another remedy.

Why does cough occur?

Most often, expectant mothers suffer from coughing due to the development of acute respiratory diseases or exacerbation of chronic ailments.

These include:

• rhinitis and bronchitis;
• pharyngitis and laryngitis;
• sinusitis and tracheitis.

An allergic reaction of the body can also cause a severe cough.

The following may act as an allergen:

1. animal hair;
2. pollen;
3. food products (honey, lingonberries).

Experienced experts say that respiratory diseases can sometimes be triggered by neurotic reactions that affect the body's immune defense. In any case, if you notice a dry or wet cough, you should consult a doctor.

Storage, price and analogues

It is recommended to store bottles with syrups at a temperature no higher than +20 degrees. The drug can be used for 2 years, this shelf life is determined by the instructions for use of "Gerbion". If the bottle of syrup has already been opened, it must be used within 1 month. After the expiration date, the drug cannot be used; its herbal components lose their healing properties.

The cost of Gerbion cough syrups is approximately the same and does not depend on the composition of the medicine. The price of the drug in pharmacies is from 200 to 250 rubles.

There are no analogues for the active ingredients. You can only select cough medications with a similar therapeutic effect.

For a wet cough, you can use the following drugs, similar to “Herbion with primrose”:

• "Marshmallow root syrup."
• "Ambroxol".
• "Tussamag."
• Fluditek.
• "Pertussin."
• "Gedelix".
• "Codelac broncho"

Medicines “Marshmallow root syrup” and “Codelac broncho” can only be given to children over 12 years of age. Tussamag and Ambroxol are suitable for a small child; they are prescribed from 12 months. From this list of analogues, only the drugs "Gedelix" and "Fluditek" are more expensive than "Gerbion", all other medications are cheaper.

The closest analogue of “Herbion with ivy” is the drug “Prospan”. It also contains ivy extract. More often this remedy is used for non-productive cough. The price of the drug is about 350 rubles. "Prospan" can be taken by children starting from infancy.

Analogs of “Gerbion with plantain” syrup are drugs for dry cough:

• "Sinecode";
• "Bronholitin";
• "Stoptussin";
• "Codelac Phyto";
• Linkas.

It is difficult to choose a replacement for “Gerbion” on your own. The choice of remedies for dry and wet coughs is quite extensive, but each herbal syrup has its own application characteristics, which depend on its composition. If the drugs in the Gerbion line cause allergies or dyspeptic symptoms, then only a doctor can choose another medication for therapy.

Use of Gerbion for dry cough during pregnancy

The most common cause of a dry or wet cough when carrying a baby is the development of respiratory pathologies.

Namely:

An allergic reaction can also provoke the development of a cough. For example, such a reaction can be caused by lingonberry leaves used as a decoction. Not often, a cough can develop due to stress, problems with the gastrointestinal tract or diaphragm, thyroid gland, heart, blood vessels or hearing organs. Cough is dangerous for a pregnant woman.

When coughing, the abdominal muscles tense, and this leads to an increase in uterine tone.

The more a pregnant woman coughs, the more often the uterus becomes toned, which can result in a miscarriage. Another possible negative consequence of coughing is the development of oxygen deficiency in the fetus, which, again, occurs due to increased contraction of the uterus. A dry cough often provokes the development of hypertension, and with prolonged attacks and lack of therapy, it can cause placental abruption or bleeding.

Attention! It is important to understand that a cough is a symptom of a cold. In order to prevent the development of a dangerous pathology and complications, a woman carrying a child must be cured and eliminate a dry or wet cough. Many pharmaceutical medications are contraindicated when carrying a child. Of the medications that are approved for use, doctors often prescribe the herbal preparation Gerbion, which comes in two varieties, for dry and wet coughs.

Reviews of Gerbion syrups

You can find many positive reviews about Gerbion syrups. These drugs effectively eliminate residual cough, which persists for a long time after respiratory diseases. They also help during the acute period of a cold. Often, herbal syrups are more effective than tablets containing chemicals. Many patients unsuccessfully tried various mucolytics and bronchodilators, but only Gerbion syrups helped them get rid of a painful old cough in a few days.

People note the pleasant taste of syrups, which is important when treating young children. Patients write that on the first day of taking the medicine, the cough intensified somewhat. This was associated with an increase in mucus discharge from the bronchi. But after a few days, all the cold symptoms gradually subsided. On average, the course of treatment with syrups was about 5-6 days.

Negative reviews about the Gerbion line of drugs are due to the fact that herbal syrups did not help all patients. In some patients, the cough did not improve even after a long course of treatment. This phenomenon is usually observed if patients previously used many different mucolytics and bronchodilators. The drug may not help if other antitussive drugs with a different mechanism of action are used simultaneously with it. If you have previously taken many other bronchodilator drugs, then you need to take a short break before taking Gerbion for a wet cough. The instructions for use do not recommend using drugs that reduce the amount of mucus together. Taking a large number of different bronchodilators and mucolytics may not cure, but rather aggravate the symptoms of respiratory tract irritation.

2nd trimester: Herbion during pregnancy

In the second trimester of bearing a baby, the risk of miscarriage from regular and prolonged cough still remains, although it is reduced. The use of herbal medicines when carrying a child in the second trimester does not cause concern.

Gerbion herbal syrups are often prescribed to pregnant women due to the significant number of benefits:

1. Convenient release form: drinking syrup is not as disgusting as eating a tablet.
2. Safe composition: natural substances, no alcohol.
3. Good therapeutic effect: syrups act gently, but very effectively.
4. Vegetable syrups do not affect the central nervous system.
5. The number of contraindications is minimal: allergic reactions and diabetes.

Another advantage is the attractive cost of the drug. The price of syrups is approximately 200–300 rubles.

Release form and composition

The expectorant Gerbion comes in several types. The first type includes three active components: liquid extracts of plantain and mallow flowers, ascorbic acid. The excipients are sucrose, preservative and orange oil. The drug is sold as a brown suspension in a 150 ml bottle.

The second product is similar in release form; it contains liquid extracts of primrose and thyme, as well as levomenthol and a preservative.

In the third syrup, the main component is considered to be a single substance - dry ivy extract. It is combined with sorbitol, glycerol, citric acid and flavorings.

Composition and properties

Due to its unique chemical composition, creeping shrubs have found their use in medicine. Ivy has long been used in the treatment of headaches, colds, rheumatism, pathologies of the liver and gall bladder, as well as for the removal of warts and calluses.

Previously, these properties were used exclusively in folk medicine. Now the plant extract is successfully used in the manufacture of many medicines.

It has been proven that the plant extract has antifungal, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, wound healing and tonic properties.

Ivy cough extract in the form of syrup is prescribed in the treatment of both dry and productive cough. In addition to their direct purpose, such products improve overall well-being, restoring the body after a long illness.

The syrups are based on dried leaves of the bush containing biologically active components:

• vitamin E;
• oleic and tannic acid;
• carotene;
• saponosides;
• flavonoids;
• essential oils;
• B vitamins;
• coumarins and other components.

Ivy for cough has the following beneficial properties:

• has an expectorant effect;
• relaxes bronchial muscles;
• increases the lumen of the bronchi;
• stimulates coughing;
• promotes the removal of mucus from the respiratory system, cleanses the lungs;
• strengthens vascular walls;
• restores normal breathing.

Preparations made from ivy and thyme are especially effective: they not only relieve inflammatory processes, but also have an antispasmodic effect.

Interaction with other drugs

Herbal medicine usually works well with other types of drug treatments. Taking Gerbion does not require discontinuation of any vital medications. The syrup cannot interfere with the absorption of medications, affect the rate of development of effects or change them.

Caution should only be exercised when using drugs with antagonistic effects. Ivy should not be combined with codeine-containing medications or medications containing dextromethorphan.

These drugs suppress cough reflexes at the level of the corresponding center in the brain. With an increase in the amount of mucus produced and disturbances in its evacuation, the risk of developing pneumonia and “flooded lung syndrome” increases.

The active ingredient in the medicine is dry extract of ivy leaves. Additional substances in the preparation are purified water, aromatic balm, citric acid monohydrate, sodium benzoate, glycerol, liquid sorbitol. An aromatic balm made from ethanol, propylene glycol, coriander and lemon extracts, and citronella oil. This component also contains citral from Litsea cubeba. There is no sugar in the preparation.

• early childhood under 2 years of age;
• stages of bearing a child and breastfeeding;
• hypersensitivity to the main components of the plant;

The duration of use of homemade ivy syrup for cough is no more than 5 days.

Due to the toxic components contained in the plant, an overdose can become dangerous and cause an increase in blood pressure, as well as an exacerbation of gastroenteritis.

When using ivy leaves for cough, you must follow all the recommendations of your doctor. Most often, expectorant syrups are prescribed as part of complex treatment together with other drugs, and cannot replace the main therapy.

Mechanism of action

The syrup contains dry extract from ivy leaves. This medicinal plant is characterized by the content of natural substances that promote expectorant and spasm-relieving effects in the respiratory tract. It is recommended to use cough syrup due to the presence of a whole range of functions, the main ones of which are:

• mucolytic – reducing the viscosity and dryness of mucus with its further removal;
• bronchodilator - relaxation of the muscles of the bronchial tree occurs, followed by an increase in its pathways;
• pain reliever;
• antispasmodic - the components of the drug ensure dilation of blood vessels by reducing their tone, reducing the likelihood of asthma attacks during coughing.

As a result, syrup is actively used for dry coughs, which are caused by infections and acute inflammatory processes in the respiratory system.

Storage conditions

The syrup can be stored in its original packaging for up to 2 years from the date of production at room temperature. In this case, slight clouding or sedimentation at the bottom of the bottle is allowed. This does not affect the quality of the drug or its effectiveness. It is advisable to shake the bottle of syrup before ingestion.

After the first opening, the shelf life of Gerbion is reduced to 3 months. It is better to immediately mark the date until which the product can be taken with a pen on the label. Using expired medicine will not bring the expected effect.

The optimal temperature for the medication is 18‒25 °C. There is no need to put the syrup in the refrigerator. This does not affect the shelf life, but may reduce the effectiveness of the drug. It is enough to place the bottle with the mixture in the closet - away from children and direct sunlight.
