The medicinal product “Suprim-broncho” refers to phytopreparations with anti-inflammatory and expectorant effects. The medication exhibits mucolytic and bronchodilator properties. Country of origin - India.
Pharmacological activity
The effect of the drug is due to the ingredients of plant origin available in its composition. We will tell you more about each of them.
- Vasik adatoda is a plant whose leaf extract has been used for several millennia as an effective remedy for asthma, bronchitis, tuberculosis and other diseases. The effectiveness of this component is associated with its antispasmodic, mucolytic, expectorant properties. Vasik adatoda is used in many medicines for cough and colds, including the Suprim-broncho drug.
- Licorice is the most famous and at the same time the most studied plant used to treat cough. Its pharmacological action is mentioned in a treatise on herbs written by the Chinese three thousand years BC. An analysis of the recipes of Tibetan medicine showed that licorice was used in almost 98 percent of all collections. The plant has a calming, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, expectorant activity. Its effectiveness is associated with the presence of glycyrrosin - a substance that helps to reduce viscosity and increased sputum production, and, accordingly, facilitate its removal from the body. As the instructions for use explain, “Suprim-broncho” to a greater extent precisely due to the action of licorice naked allows you to relieve swelling and eliminate dry cough. This is achieved by stimulating the secretory function of the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and ciliary epithelium of the bronchi and trachea.
- Long Turmeric - An herb that is an integral part of Indian culture. The inhabitants of this country use it in industry, in everyday life, and in cooking, and in cosmetology, and, of course, in medicine. The composition of the plant includes curcumin, which is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. In addition, an extract of long turmeric rhizomes improves the digestive system and stimulates appetite, which is very important for the recovery of an organism weakened after an illness, especially in childhood.
- Holy Basil is one of the most revered plants in India. It has been used for thousands of years as a medicine with great healing power. Basil contains many active substances, which together produce antipyretic, antiseptic, antitussive, expectorant actions. As part of the Suprim-Broncho medication, it also provides a painkiller effect.
- Real ginger is an amazing plant, first mentioned as early as around 2000 BC in the treatise of Emperor Shen-nun. Ginger in Sanskrit means "universal medicine", and I must say that this is fully justified. Due to the action of ginger rhizome extract, the preparation Suprima-broncho expands the bronchi, exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and the essential oils contained in the plant strengthen the immune system and promote a speedy recovery.
- Yellow nightshade is a plant common throughout India. It is used in the treatment of a wide range of diseases. Hippocrates also mentioned its medicinal effect. Active substances have expectorant and anti-inflammatory properties. Due to the presence of yellow fruit in the nightshade, the drug Suprima-broncho (the instruction emphasizes this) effectively normalizes body temperature.
- Real cardamom is one of the most popular and highly regarded spices in the world. However, the seeds of a plant from the ginger family are used not only in cooking, but also in medicine, because they exhibit bronchodilator and virusostatic activity. More than three thousand years ago, cardamom began to be used to facilitate breathing, treat colds, and flu.
- Long pepper - a plant widely used in the pharmaceutical industry of many countries. The first mention of its medicinal properties in Indian literature dates back to the 2nd millennium BC. Long pepper produces antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic effects. Among other things, it helps to restore immunity, which is why it was included in the composition of the drug Suprim-broncho. The instruction reports that the extract of fruits of long pepper allows you to neutralize viruses and bacteria.
