Inhalation with saline and "Ambrobe": dosage and instructions

"Ambrobene" in its action refers to mucolytics - drugs that reduce the viscosity of phlegm. Its active substance is ambroxol. The drug is prescribed for a wet cough with a viscous, hard to separate sputum. This symptom is manifested in various diseases of the lungs and bronchi. The effectiveness of "Ambrobene" increases with treatment, accompanied by a plentiful drink of liquid - water, tea, compote, juice, etc. With a dry cough - "Ambrobe" is ineffective.

"Ambrogen" for inhalations

One of the forms of release "Ambrobene" is a solution that can be used for drinking and inhalation with it. For convenience, a measuring cup is attached to the package containing the medicine, which will allow to properly dose the product.

With the inhalation method of treatment, "Ambrobe" is necessarily mixed with a solution of sodium chloride( saline solution).Then the inhalation with saline and "Ambrogen" is already conducted. The dosage of these components is prescribed by the doctor.

Advantages of inhalation:

• reduces the bitter aftertaste characteristic of the drug;
• drug penetrates directly into the lungs, bypassing the digestive system;
• fine particles of the drug easily penetrate into the cells and tissues of the affected respiratory organs, and the effect of treatment comes quickly.

Nebulizers

Inhalation with "Ambrobe" should be carried out with the help of special nebulizer type nebulizer. Nebulizers are inhalers, whose action is based on splitting the liquid medicine particles into minute drops - water dust. They do not heat up and form steam. The solution remains unchanged in the human body through dispersal and inhalation.

Advantages of nebulizer in front of steam inhaler:

• no danger of burning with hot steam;
• without heating the medicine retains all its useful properties;
• solution at the desired concentration reaches the affected organs and acts more quickly;
• possibility to conduct inhalation at a distance.

The last advantage is convenient when inhalation is prescribed to children. Sometimes it is not easy to persuade a child to sit quietly at the inhaler, if he is addicted to the game. Or the baby is asleep, and to not wake him by the time of inhalation, you can simply install a nebulizer near the patient. The medicine will be sprayed into the air and enter the body when inhaled. True, the concentration of therapeutic solution in the body will be lower than with inhalation through nebulizer nozzles.

Solution for inhalation

Almost all drugs placed in a nebulizer must be diluted. The most common means for dilution is saline( 0.9% solution of sodium chloride or Ringer-Locke solution or any other with a pH not exceeding 6.3).So, for example, the inhalation with saline and ambroben is carried out. Dosage of drugs and solutions will depend on the age and condition of the patient.

Resuscitation moisturizes the mucous membrane of the mouth, larynx and promotes better liquefaction of phlegm and reduced perspiration in the throat. Sometimes saline is used for inhalation without the addition of other drugs, especially if the disease is in mild form.

And if the child does not sit directly with the inhaler at the mouth, but breathes solution at a distance( sleeps or plays during inhalation)?Then the dosage "Ambrobene" for inhalations to children with saline solution may be higher. But in this case the amount of the drug should not exceed 5 ml, so as not to cause its overdose in the body. This same rule is also relevant for adult patients.

The syringe is especially useful if you have purchased saline in a large container( an economical option).To maintain the sterility of the solution in the container, it is necessary to remove a metal shell from its cover, wipe the rubber cover with an antiseptic( alcohol) and, piercing it with a needle, dial into the syringe the necessary amount of saline. After that, the needle can be left in saline solution for later use.
