Syrup "Sinecode": composition, description
It contains such components as: glycerin, sodium saccharin, food flavoring (vanillin), sorbitol, sodium hydroxide, ethanol, benzoic acid, purified water and the active substance butamirate citrate, which has an antitussive effect. By blocking the cough center located in the oblong part of the brain, the bronchi are stopped, which contributes to the effective evacuation of sputum containing viruses, bacteria and blood cells that are responsible for the immune processes of our body (phagocytes and white blood cells).
When taking Synecod syrup, the physiological work of the bronchial glands is normalized and swelling of the bronchial mucosa is reduced. One and a half hours after the use of butamirate, its maximum absorption in the small intestine occurs. The decomposition of the starting substance (hydrolysis) is carried out in blood cells with the formation of new active compounds.
During the period of treatment with butamirate, there is no cumulative effect (accumulation of the drug in the tissues and internal organs of a person). After about six hours, the drug eliminates half-through the kidneys.
