Reviews
"Bronchomunal P" affects local immunity, forcing it to effectively cope with the infection. As a result, the frequency of acute respiratory diseases decreases, the course of the infection process is facilitated if the child has a cold. Ultimately, there is no need for antimicrobial therapy.
In most cases, this drug is used to treat children. Therefore, as a rule, reviews about the drug are associated with its use in pediatrics. Often it is prescribed to those children who have just gone or are going to go to a preschool. As you know, it is at such a time that you have to face the appearance of various diseases.
But the effectiveness of therapy with Bronchomunal is different. About half of the users report that after taking the medicine, the kids become less sick, and even when they do get cold, recovery comes faster.
At the same time, other parents narrate that they did not notice any changes when using Bronhomunal, so they gave other drugs to children to strengthen their immunity. However, no adverse reactions were noted.
As a rule, "Bronchomunal" in a dosage of 3.5 milligrams is given to children who suffer from various allergic manifestations and asthma.

During treatment with Bronchomunal in adult patients, a different degree of effectiveness is also described. If there is no improvement, it is necessary to inform the doctor about this in order to prescribe a more suitable therapy. In any situation, the supervision of a doctor is required.

As for the appointment of the drug in acute respiratory diseases, here the opinions of doctors are divided. Some consider it effective. Other medical specialists think the opposite.
