When looking at the most popular and effective cough remedies, there is a very important point to make. A person without medical education, choosing the most suitable drug from his point of view, can make a serious mistake and harm his health. The fact is that cough suppressants are not always needed. More often means are needed 'for' a full and productive cough.

In a healthy adult, 100 ml, or half a glass of bronchial secretion, is secreted into the respiratory tract daily. With various diseases of the bronchopulmonary system, the production of this protective substance decreases, and at the same time the viscosity of the secreted fluid increases. Coughing is also impaired, and the properties of sputum become insufficiently effective to fight infection. The high viscosity of sputum impairs its oxygen saturation, which creates a favorable background for the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, in case of inflammatory lesions of the bronchopulmonary system, it is necessary not only to stimulate cough and improve expectoration (expectorants), but also to take medications that thin phlegm (mucolytics).

A productive cough with sputum production, therefore, is a necessary and very important condition for recovery. It is needed in the treatment, first of all, of microbial infections, with the consequences of pneumonia, with chronic bronchitis, with colds, with ARVI. In this case, the patient needs to choose agents that stimulate the cough center, stimulate the formation of sputum and sputum-thinning drugs, or mucolytics.

The use of cough suppressants will, of course, reduce the unpleasant symptom and temporarily improve the patient's quality of life. But such self-medication will contribute to the chronicization of the infection and its penetration into the depths. Eventually, you can 'heal' by suppressing the cough to pneumonia. Cough suppressants are only needed for dry coughs that are unproductive and caused by conditions other than infection or inflammation. So, medications are prescribed to suppress coughs in patients after operations on the chest in order to avoid suture divergence, with irritation of cough receptors and in similar situations.

This rating will consider the most effective and popular remedies for the treatment of cough in adults and children. But the review will begin with the safest drugs that have a mild effect. These are plant expectorants and mucolytics.

Best herbal cough remedies

Plant-based medicines to combat bronchopulmonary diseases are very widely used in pulmonology and therapy. Almost all modern highly effective drugs are synthetically modified plant compounds, and in pediatrics such drugs based on phytoextracts are the mainstay of cough treatment.

Herbal preparations contain various phytoncides, which have bactericidal and antiviral effects, they promote expectoration and stimulate cough. Herbal preparations, as a rule, do not have significant side effects and are therefore relatively safe to use. The variety of dosage forms, such as syrups and lozenges, make these drugs popular and in demand for both children and adults.

But for all their popularity and great benefits, herbal remedies in no way replace antibiotics and antimicrobial drugs, and they should not be used to treat serious diseases, such as bronchitis or pneumonia, without consulting a doctor. In addition, patients with hay fever and a pronounced degree of allergy to pollen should be sure to check these drugs before use and use them with caution.

Gedelix

Rating: 4.9

Gedelix

One of the most effective herbal medicines for the treatment of bronchopulmonary diseases accompanied by cough is Gedelix. This medication is available as oral drops or syrup and contains ivy leaf extract. The syrup is a viscous and thick yellowish-brown liquid with a specific odor. Gedelix helps to cough up phlegm, liquefies it, exerting a mucolytic effect, helps to reduce the tone of the smooth muscles of the bronchi, which increases their lumen and also increases the rate of sputum separation.

Gedelix is ​​indicated for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract, with bronchitis, with the consequences of pneumonia, in all cases when the patient is worried about coughing and difficult sputum secretion. Gedelix syrup should be used by adults 3 times a day, in a single dose of 5 ml. Thus, the daily dosage will be 15 ml, and there is a special spoon in the package for an accurate dosage. The duration of admission, on average, is 7 days. Gedelix is ​​produced by the German pharmaceutical company Crevel Meiselbach, and a 100 ml package of syrup can be purchased at a pharmacy at prices in the fall of 2018, at an average cost of 375 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantage of Gedelix will be ease of use, pleasant taste and a good balance between mucolytic and antispasmodic effects. Both allergic reactions and individual intolerance reactions are very rare. Also, nausea and diarrhea are extremely rare. It must be remembered that patients with diabetes should take into account the fructose contained in the syrup. The medicine does not contain ethyl alcohol, and taking Gedelix does not affect the patient's ability to drive vehicles. The big advantage of this remedy is the ability to prescribe it even to infants. The only contraindication is pregnancy and lactation in women.

Mucaltin

Rating: 4.8

Mucaltin

Mukaltin is a dried and compressed herbal raw material of medicinal marshmallow. This plant has been used for more than two hundred years in folk medicine as a means of improving expectoration and sputum discharge. Mukaltin is able to reflexively enhance the activity of the epithelium lining the bronchi from the inside, as well as increase the synthesis of the secretion of the bronchial tree. This improves mucociliary transport, or the drainage function of the bronchial tree, and leads to an accelerated elimination of pathogens. Indications for taking Mukaltin are acute and chronic bronchopulmonary diseases such as pneumonia or bronchitis, bouts of bronchiectasis, nonspecific diseases called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Mukaltin is good in combination therapy with other medicines, and it is used in adults and children, 1 or 2 tablets 3 times a day, before meals. It is convenient for children to pre-dissolve the tablet in a small amount of warm water. The average course of treatment is 1 to 2 weeks. For the price, Mukaltin is very affordable, the average cost of a package of 30 tablets, produced by the domestic firm Medisorb, is only 60 rubles. Agree, this is a very insignificant amount for the whole course of treatment.

Advantages and disadvantages

The low price is the main advantage of Mukaltin, which makes it a truly popular and favorite drug. In addition, Mukaltin has small tablets, they are easy to swallow, they taste good, and there are almost no contraindications to taking them. They can even be prescribed to pregnant women, however, after prior consultation with a doctor. Mukaltin, like other drugs, has side effects in the form of allergies and indigestion, but these symptoms are extremely rare. It is also worth remembering that in case of serious diseases of the bronchi, together with Mukaltin, it is necessary to additionally prescribe more serious drugs, as prescribed by a doctor.

Breast fee number 4

Rating: 4.7

Breast fee number 4

The pharmaceutical company Krasnogorskleksredstva, which is the largest manufacturer of pharmaceutical phytoproducts in Russia, produces several types of breast preparations. But this collection is intended specifically for those patients who suffer from a cough with insufficient phlegm production. Breast collection No. 4 includes refined plant materials, consisting of calendula, violet herb, rosemary, licorice, mint and chamomile.

With regular use of the drug, it reduces the inflammatory reaction of the bronchial tree, has an antiseptic effect, and stimulates the discharge of sputum. Breast collection No. 4 is issued in paper brewing bags, each pack contains 20 bags. Shown is the Chest collection for all acute and chronic diseases of the bronchopulmonary system, accompanied by an inflammatory component and difficult sputum discharge, including, it is indicated for use for chronic smokers. The cost of one package of 20 sachets is, on average, 83 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of the medicine include a natural taste, the ability to use it in the evening instead of tea, since after each sip, due to the glycyrrhizin present in licorice, a sweet aftertaste appears. The breast collection has practically no side effects, only individual intolerance to individual components is rare. This remedy is natural and cheap. The disadvantages of Breast Collection are common to all herbal preparations. Breast collection alone will not be able to cope with serious acute bronchitis or pneumonia, a rather long course of treatment is needed, and not everyone likes the same specific taste in a ready-made infusion with a sweetish component. Finally, many people simply think that the brewing process is too long, and when trying to separate the bags, they often break, which leads to the spilling of dry components.

Herbion

Rating: 4.7

Herbion

When coughing, not only ivy leaf extract has a good expectorant effect, but also plantain lanceolate extract. It is this plant component, along with mallow flowers, or stem-rose, that is included in the drug Herbion, which is produced in the form of a syrup by the pharmaceutical company KRKA from Slovenia. Herbion syrup improves the secretion of phlegm, it stimulates the activity of the cough center and reduces the viscosity of the phlegm. In addition, the complex effect of plantain and mallow helps to reduce the severity of inflammation of the bronchial mucosa, and has an antimicrobial or bacteriostatic effect.

Herbion's syrup is shown in all cases when there is a dry and unproductive cough, against the background of inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract. Gerbion is used in adults, 10 ml from 3 to 5 times a day, a special measuring spoon is included in the package. In children, the drug is also used, depending on age, the dosage changes. The minimum age to start taking Herbion is 2 years. The course of treatment usually lasts 2 to 3 weeks. The average cost of a 150 ml bottle is 267 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantage of this remedy, as in other cases, is a mild and natural action, allergic reactions and side effects develop in a very small number of cases. Patients with diabetes should take into account that the syrup contains 0.4 bread units (XE) for each scoop of the drug. Also, the manufacturer does not recommend using Herbion in pregnant and lactating women, in patients with fructose intolerance and in babies up to two years of age.

Bronchicum® C

Rating: 4.6

Bronchicum® C

Herbal cough remedies under the brand name Bronchicum are available both in the form of lozenges and in the form of syrup. The active ingredient in both cases is an extract of the herb of common thyme, which in the pharmaceutical classification belongs to herbal expectorants. Bronchicum syrup is indicated for all acute and chronic infections of the upper respiratory tract, when it is necessary to stimulate the production and secretion of sputum. The syrup is more effective than lozenges and is a reddish brown, slightly opalescent solution. In addition, Bronchicum helps to reduce the viscosity of sputum, and also has an anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effect. The medicine is used after meals inside; for adults, 2 teaspoons of syrup are enough 3 times a day. The duration of the course of treatment is determined by the doctor, but, on average, it is from 10 to 14 days. A 100 ml bottle of the drug costs an average of 315 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

Bronchicum and Gedelix are a kind of monocomponent drugs, and if the patient has an intolerance to ivy leaf extract, then Bronchicum may well replace Gedelix. They are in the same price range and are presented with the same dosage form. The advantage of Bronchicum is the ability to prescribe it for a long time, and the disadvantage is the ethyl alcohol content of 4.5%, which, of course, makes it difficult to use it when driving a car.

Bronchicum also has individual contraindications, such as chronic heart failure, severe liver and kidney disorders, and alcoholism. All this is associated with the use of ethyl alcohol in the prescription.

Best cough suppressants for adults

The aforementioned herbal remedies for cough also fall into this category, and all of them can be confidently attributed to drugs used with high efficiency in adults. There are practically no cough drugs in pulmonology that could be prescribed only to children, but which could not be prescribed to adults. Rather the opposite. The same Bronchicum syrup, which completed the rating of herbal preparations, has ethyl alcohol in its composition. It is indicated for adults, and in childhood its use is limited due to the ethanol content. This section will list not only those funds that improve the drainage function of the bronchi, have an expectorant effect and remove phlegm. This list will include drugs that can suppress coughs, and their use must be approved by a doctor. These drugs include Libeksin, Bronholitin.

Libexin

Rating: 4.9

Libexin

Libexin is based on a compound called prenoxdiazine. Prenoxdiazine has a mild anesthetic effect, reduces the sensitivity of peripheral receptors to cough, which are located in the walls of the bronchial tree. Therefore, when the airways are stretched, the cough reflex simply does not work, and the strength of the antitussive effect in Libexin is practically equal to the action of codeine, but Libexin does not cause drug dependence and addiction. Since it does not contain codeine, it is freely available without a prescription.

Libeksin is indicated for attacks of dry and exhausting cough, when there are no microorganisms in the bronchial tree, and there are no foci of purulent inflammation. These are the first days of viral infections and influenza, pulmonary emphysema, cough due to compression of the roots of the lungs by enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes, for example, in sarcoidosis, a condition before diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy. Libexin is also used in patients with chronic heart failure during attacks of nocturnal cough associated with an overload of the small circle of blood circulation with an excessive amount of fluid.

You need to use Libeksin tablets whole, without chewing. In adults, the average dosage is 100 mg 3 times a day. This corresponds to one tablet taken three times a day. In special cases, the dosage can be doubled. Libeksin is produced by the Hungarian pharmaceutical company Hinoin, and the cost of one package of 20 tablets, calculated for a week of admission, on average, is 450 rubles

Advantages and disadvantages

The great advantage of Libeksin can be considered a large force of action on receptors, and a rapid suppression of the painful symptom of cough in patients. At the same time, side effects rarely develop when taking Libexin, but if they do occur, then most often it is a skin rash, dry mouth or slight numbness of the oral mucosa. In the recommended dosages, side effects are practically not encountered. The negative sides of the use of Libexin include a fairly high price, the inability to take this drug in pregnant women, as well as a strict ban on its use if the patient is actively sputum, or he uses mucolytics. The simultaneous use of agents that improve sputum production and agents that prevent coughing has the opposite effect.

Lazolvan

Rating: 4.8

Lazolvan

Lazolvan in syrup has a completely opposite effect to Libeksin. It contains ambroxol, which helps to cough up phlegm and dilute it. Therefore, this agent belongs to the so-called mucolytics, or secretolytics. Ambroxol enhances the synthesis of a special fat-like substance, or surfactant, which ensures the non-stickiness of the smallest vesicles – pulmonary alveoli, and increases the coefficient of mucociliary clearance. As a result, mucus transport is enhanced, phlegm flows better, and cough becomes productive.

This drug is indicated for all acute and chronic diseases of the bronchopulmonary system, when it is necessary to facilitate the excretion of sputum. These are acute and chronic bronchitis, COPD, asthma and bronchiectasis. Lazolvan is also shown in the treatment of acute and chronic pneumonia. The medicine is used in adults in an amount of 4 ml three times a day. Lazolvan can be diluted in water, milk or tea. Lazolvan is produced in syrup and in solution for internal use, as well as for inhalation by Boehringer Ingelheim, its Italian division, and the average cost of one 100 ml bottle is 345 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of this medication is the ability not only to drip the solution, or take it in the form of a syrup, inside in pure form, but also the ability to use it for ultrasonic inhalations, according to the instructions. It is an effective, fast-acting, sugar-free product and is therefore indicated for diabetics, and comes with a special measuring cup. But at the same time, the price of Lazolvan is quite high, and other analogues of Ambroxol can be found on sale, which are much cheaper. The medicine has a specific bitter taste, and it has some contraindications: pregnancy and lactation. Also, while taking Lazolvan in large doses, a side effect such as nausea and abdominal discomfort often develops.

Bronchodilator

Rating: 4.7

Bronchodilator

Bronholitin is a complex preparation that contains both plant extracts and chemical compounds. It contains basil oil, glaucine and ephedrine. This combination of drugs provides an antitussive and sympathomimetic effect. This means that Bronholitin dilates the bronchi, and at the same time reduces the manifestation of symptoms such as coughing. It is necessary to use Bronholitin for the same indications as Libexin. It cannot be combined with mucolytics and expectorants, but it is indicated for attacks of dry and unproductive cough. This is preparation for bronchoscopy, symptomatic cough in retrosternal forms of sarcoidosis, an infection such as whooping cough. Adults need Bronholitin to take 10 ml of syrup 3 to 4 times a day for a week. Bronholitin is produced by the Bulgarian pharmaceutical company Sopharma, and it is inexpensive. The average price of a pack of 125 ml of syrup is 125 rubles, one ruble per 1 ml of medicine.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantage of Bronholitin is a unique combination of a sympathomimetic, an antitussive agent and a plant extract that has a bactericidal and phytoncidal effect. This drug is restricted for use in people with chronic alcoholism because it contains alcohol. Bronholitin also contains 2 g of sugar per 5 ml of solution, which should be taken into account when taken in patients with diabetes mellitus. Bronholitin, despite its suppression of the function of the cough center, due to glaucine, does not suppress breathing, including at night, and does not cause constipation. Bronholitin is contraindicated in persons with ischemic heart disease, in patients with arterial hypertension, with insomnia and pheochromocytoma, with increased thyroid hyperfunction. Bronholitin is also contraindicated in children under three years of age, during the first trimester of pregnancy and during lactation.

Fluifort

Rating: 4.7

Fluifort

Fluifort is a carbocisteine, and its role is to thin and improve the secretion of phlegm, therefore it belongs to mucolytics and stimulants of the respiratory tract function. Therefore, the action of Fluifort is directly opposite to the action of the previous drug, or Bronholitin. Carbocisteine ​​activates a special enzyme called sialic transferase, and thus the acid-base ratio in the bronchial secretions is normalized. This leads to a decrease in viscosity and an improvement in the fluidity of bronchial secretions. In addition, carbocisteine ​​normalizes the secretion of protective class A immunoglobulins into bronchial secretions, which makes it possible to more effectively fight microorganisms.

Fluifort is shown for numerous acute and chronic inflammations of the upper respiratory tract, including laryngitis and tracheitis, bronchiectasis, asthma, and various pathologies of the ENT organs. These are acute sinusitis and otitis media, Fluifort is prescribed for a cold, for tonsillitis and for hypertrophy of the adenoids. Fluifort is used in the form of a syrup, or in the form of granules. Granules are used in adults, one sachet once a day, you must first stir the contents of the sachet in one glass of water. As for the syrup, in adults, the standard dosage is 15 ml 3 times a day. The duration of treatment with Fluifort is at least 4 days, but not more than 6 months. In the event that the patient has been using this remedy for more than a week, then he should consult a doctor, preferably a pulmonologist. One package of 120 ml syrup costs 300 rubles. Suspension granules, in the amount of 10 bags, calculated for a course of 10 days, will cost 370 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

Fluifort, like other analogs of carbocisteine, has, in addition to mucolytic action, also a remarkable activating property on secretory immunoglobulin A, which increases the intensity of local immunity of the surface of the tracheobronchial tree. There are few contraindications for this medication, but it is undesirable to prescribe Fluifort for stomach ulcers, during pregnancy and lactation, and in the case of prescribing granules, for phenylketonuria. Fluifort may have rare side effects such as gastritis and nausea, but these effects tend to disappear when the dosage is reduced.

Cough pills

Rating: 4.6

Cough pills

In the ranking of coughing agents for adults, it is necessary to include the classic and beloved by many generations of Cough tablets. This is a proper name, the medicine is called: 'Cough pills'. This name does not quite correctly characterize their effect; rather, these are tablets for a good and productive cough. Each of them contains thermopsis herb and sodium bicarbonate. This is an excellent and inexpensive expectorant, while thermopsis acts on the receptors of the bronchial glands, increasing their secretion. The tissues of this plant contain various alkaloids that stimulate the respiratory center. Sodium bicarbonate, or soda, also, due to an alkaline reaction, stimulates the dilution of bronchial secretions and improves the fluidity of sputum. Pills are shown for all conditions when the patient is worried about coughing against the background of inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract and difficult coughing. Most often, these tablets are used as part of complex therapy. These tablets are produced by the domestic pharmaceutical company Update, and the cost of 20 tablets is only 55 rubles, provided that these tablets are enough for a course of treatment of 5 days, since one tablet should be used by adults three times a day.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of these tablets include good tolerance and mild action, almost always they are part of complex therapy, and are used together with inhalation drugs, together with potions, with a special massage to increase the drainage function of the bronchi. The only thing that cannot be done is to use these tablets together with cough suppressants such as Bronholitin or Libexin. In order to further improve the drainage function of the bronchi and increase the discharge of sputum, it is necessary to prescribe a warm and plentiful drink.

Best cough remedies for kids

Speaking of cough suppressants in pediatric practice, it is imperative to take into account new international data. So, sputum thinning agents were banned in France in 2010, since, according to statistics, they led to various complications in the respiratory tract in babies under the age of two years. We are talking about acetylcysteine, ambroxol, bromhexine and the like. They are sold freely without a prescription, and are widely distributed in our country. According to the well-known pediatrician and public figure, Dr. Komarovsky, in early childhood, such simple measures as rinsing the nose, prescribing an abundant vitamin drink and regular humidification of the air in the room allows you to get a good expectorant effect without the risk of complications. If you prescribe expectorant drugs for children, then it is best to use herbal remedies based on licorice, thermopsis, coltsfoot, marshmallow and other well-known medicinal plants. Therefore, the rating of cough suppressants for children also includes the funds listed by us in the first section of herbal preparations. Additionally, in pediatric practice, you can use the drugs described below without any risk to the health of babies.

Linkas

Rating: 4.9

Linkas

Linkus is a complex herbal expectorant that contains licorice, violet, marshmallow, pepper, hyssop and several other medicinal plants. The medicine is available in the form of lozenges with the taste of honey and lemon, with the smell of orange, with the taste of mint and in the form of a syrup. This is a complex drug that improves the productivity of cough, increases the volume of sputum secreted, and has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Linkas is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of various infectious lesions of the upper respiratory tract, in the case when the child has a cough, but sputum does not pass well. Linkas is used in the form of a syrup in pediatric practice, starting from the age of six months, half a teaspoon 3 times a day. Children from 3 years old are already given one teaspoon, from 8 years old – one teaspoon four times a day.

Linkas is produced by the Pakistani pharmaceutical company Herbion, and a 150 ml bottle of syrup will cost about 200 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantage of Linkas is a rich composition of medicinal plants, a balanced action, a low number of side effects, which are mainly represented by individual allergic reactions, but this remedy has a proven good tolerance. The only thing that needs to be considered for children with diabetes is the fact of the sugar content in the lozenges and syrup. The tool has a completely democratic cost, and is available in various forms that can be used by children, both younger and older.

Eucabal

Rating: 4.8

Eucabal

Eucabal is a complex herbal preparation that comes in the form of a syrup and an emulsion for inhalation. The syrup contains plantain extract, thyme extract and glycerin with ammonia. Ammonia, due to an alkaline reaction, liquefies phlegm and facilitates its passage. Eucabal has an anti-inflammatory and expectorant effect, and is used for various diseases of the bronchopulmonary system, for bronchitis, for tracheitis and laryngitis, it is good as part of complex therapy in the treatment of respiratory and viral infections.

The duration of admission is on average 2 weeks, and a longer course of treatment is allowed only by a pediatrician or pulmonologist. Eucabal is produced by the German pharmaceutical company Esparma, and the cost of one 100 ml bottle of syrup is, on average, 280 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantage of Eucabal is its release not only in syrup for oral administration, but also in the form of a balm. It is indicated for rubbing the skin of the breast and interscapular region in children. Eucabal is used for steam inhalation, as well as for baths. Baths can be used for children from 2 months old, for this, the drug is used in the form of an emulsion for external use. This emulsion contains eucalyptus oil and pine oil. It is necessary to bathe children for about 10 minutes, this also contributes to the intensive absorption of components through the skin and the clinical effect is manifested by an improvement in the drainage function of the bronchi. Perhaps this is the only tool in the rating that is available in such a variety of forms, including for local use.

Bronchipret

Rating: 4.8

Bronchipret

Bronchipret is a mixture of liquid extracts of thyme and ivy, which have already been found one by one in our rating, but only in this preparation they are found together and have a synergistic effect. Bronchipret is indicated for various infections of the upper respiratory tract, with laryngitis, laryngotracheitis, and also in all conditions when it is necessary to increase the secretory function of the bronchi and accelerate the evacuation of sputum in children. Bronchipret also has an anti-inflammatory effect.

It is indicated for use in children starting from the age of three months, and it is prescribed for babies starting from 10 drops three times a day, and for babies from a year – 17 drops per single dosage. If the child's age exceeds 1 year, then for each next year, 3 drops are added to a single dosage. There is also another dosage, according to the baby's body weight, and the corresponding table is indicated in the official instructions. For even more convenient dosage, a measuring cup is included. Bronchipret is produced by the German pharmaceutical company Bionorica, and one 100 ml bottle of the drug can be purchased at a pharmacy for 350 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

The big advantage of this remedy is the ability to prescribe it to babies who have reached the age of three months. The medicine is well tolerated, but the relative disadvantage is the presence of ethyl alcohol in it. Of course, the dosage is calculated in such a way as not to damage the growing body of the child. But, nevertheless, this rather effective remedy will be contraindicated in children with increased convulsive activity, with epilepsy, as well as with chronic liver and kidney diseases.
