Reviews of syrups "Gerbion"

You can meet many positive reviews about syrups "Gerbion".These drugs effectively eliminate the residual cough that lasts long after the transferred respiratory diseases. They help in the acute period of colds. Often plant syrups are more effective than tablets containing chemicals. Many patients unsuccessfully tried a variety of mucolytics and bronchodilators, but only the syrups "Herbion" helped them get rid of the painful chronic cough for a few days.

People note the pleasant taste of syrups, which is important in the treatment of young children. Patients write that on the first day of taking the medication the cough increased somewhat. This was due to an increase in the mucus discharge from the bronchi. But after a few days all the symptoms of the cold gradually subsided. On average, the course of treatment with syrups was about 5-6 days.

Negative feedback on the preparations of the Herbion line is due to the fact that plant syrups did not help all patients. In some patients, cough did not decrease even after a long course of treatment. This phenomenon is usually observed if earlier patients used many different mucolytics and bronchodilators. The drug may not help if other antitussive medications with a different mechanism of action are used simultaneously. If you previously used many other bronchodilator drugs, you need to take a short break before taking "Herbion" from a wet cough. Instructions for use do not recommend the use of drugs that reduce the amount of mucus. The intake of a large number of different bronchodilators and mucolytics may not heal, but exacerbate the symptoms of respiratory tract irritation.
