With the onset of cold weather, the number of children in kindergartens and schools is sharply reduced. It is difficult to find such a family that children under the age of 12-13 are not sick. Moms have to look for more and more drugs to resist diseases.
Content
Many parents have long chosen medicine No. 1 from cough and colds for themselves - this is a “bronchomunal”, which is always in a family medicine cabinet. Someone from mothers learned about this medicine from the doctor, someone from the Internet, a neighbor or friend prompted someone. So, valuable information was transmitted along the chain that bronchomunal helps with coughing.
Bronchomunal - application
Only a few of the parents own information when it is necessary to give the medicine, what this drug affects and how bronchomunal for children acts.
Many doctors claim that this is not a simple medicine, but a kind of vaccine. Is it so? Let's figure it out. Indeed, the intake of bronchomunal according to the rules is the same vaccine, only in a different form. It does not act like an ordinary vaccine, but softer on the children's body, spurring and tempering.
In the language of experts, the medicine is a therapeutic vaccine, it is an immunotropic drug that differs from a standard vaccine in that there are no living bacteria in the composition. There is a complex in this medicine, consisting of 8 main bacteria (these are lyophilized lizats), which are the pathogens of the respiratory tract.
Bronchomunal, composition:
The main thing that every parent needs to know is that if you take this drug, the body will gradually begin to resist infections and cope with the enemy even without taking antibiotics.
What diseases should be taken by the medicine:
- any respiratory tract infections (lower/upper);
- bronchitis;
- tonsillitis;
- SARS and ARI;
- rhinitis;
- sinusitis;
- otitis;
- laryngitis;
- pharyngitis.
Among the advantages, it is worth highlighting and one more - you need to use the medicine once during the day, you can before send a child to kindergarten or school.
Bronchomunal for children or adults?
This medicine can be taken as often sick adults and children. The drug is produced in different forms: for adults, the dosage of the main substance (bacteria lizata) will be greater than for children.
Consider both options:
- Bronchomunal children are allowed to be accepted for children, starting from six months and up to 12 years old. The main active substance in this form of the drug is 3.5 mg, is produced in capsules;
- adult form of the drug: take children, starting from 12 years of age, 1 capsule once a day. The main active substance in the adult form of the bronchomunal is 7 mg.
This is important: you can’t prescribe a drug yourself, you need to consult with your doctor. He will select the necessary dosage.
How to take bronchomunal
The form of release of the drug: in the blist of 10 blue and white opaque capsules. The name of the medicine is engraved on top of the drug. If you open the capsule, then you will see white/pale cream small granules without smell.
Adult reception scheme:
- the capsule is drunk in the morning before breakfast (on an empty stomach), drinking a glass of water. If it is difficult to swallow the medicine, then the bronchomunal capsule needs to be opened and pour granular powder into a glass of water, thoroughly stir. It is allowed to dilute the medicine in juice, compote or milk (fluid temperature is not higher than 36-38 degrees);
- how to drink medicine if a person is ill: prescribed complex treatment, but the reception scheme is not changed. You need to drink a capsule every day for 1.5 weeks (a maximum of 10 days);
- if you need to repeat the course of treatment, then you need to take a break of 3 weeks and again take a ten -day course. After a break, 20-21 days you need to go through the third course of treatment again. It turns out that in order to prevent infectious diseases, the course will last 3 months.
The attending physician will recommend that you start taking an immunomodulator no later than in mid -July, in order to just meet the autumn aggravation in full -armed.
The diagram of taking the drug for children does not differ from adults, in the capsule once a day. Small children need to mix the powder from the capsule in a bottle of juice, milk, compote or water. The medicine has no taste and aroma, so it will not change the taste of milk or other drink.
You need to give medicine strictly on an empty stomach! Drink according to the same scheme as adults, no more than 10 days the course, then a break and a repeated course. For frequent children, the reception scheme does not differ, only the number of courses is increased by 1 larger.
Is it possible to take bronchomunal often?
Many parents are so encouraged by the fact that their child, after the medicine, will not hurt, that they are ready to give the drug every time as soon as the child coughs or sneezes. These are wrong actions. It is necessary to strictly adhere to the instructions and take bronchomunal for prevention only with a course with a break of 20-21 days.
If there is a need to return to this drug when 3 courses of medication have already been passed, in this case it is necessary to replace this drug with another immunomodulator.
Reception with antibiotics. Yes or not? The medicine is compatible with any drugs and even antibiotics. Therefore, if necessary, the drug Bronchomunal can be taken along with antibiotic therapy.
Another feature: the bronchomunal is compatible with alcohol, such a technique will not bring harm to the body, but there will be little good. If you drink every day, for example, a glass of alcohol at dinner and take an immunomodulator, there will be no benefit, since alcohol neutralizes the effect of this drug.
Bronchomunal: Indications and contraindications
The tasks set with which this drug easily copes:
- strengthening immunity;

As for the bearing of a child, in this state, a woman is aggravated by all diseases, the body tries to adapt to a new position and works with increased load. And since there were no clinical studies in pregnant women, it was impossible to say for sure how the body of the future mommy will react to the intake of the immunomodulator. Therefore, doctors try to play it safe and do not prescribe this drug to pregnant women in the first trimester, and in 2 and 3 trimesters - intake is possible, but only in case of emergency. For the same reason, it is undesirable to drink capsules and nursing young mothers. If you can’t do without the medicine, the baby must be translated temporarily to feeding mixtures from the bottle.

But sometimes it is possible to manifest unpleasant symptoms: it is nausea and even vomiting, abdominal pain, liquid chair. If you have these symptoms, it is undesirable to stop taking the drug. After some time, everything will fall into place.

If the reaction is severe, redness, rashes appeared on the skin, the body temperature increased, you need to stop taking the medicine. After the cancellation of the bronchomunal, everything is normalized.
