Pharmacological properties

Askoril an expektorant — the combined medicine with bronkhodilatiruyushchy, mucolytic and expectorant action. thanks to a rational combination as a part of salbutamol, Bromhexine of a hydrochloride, a gvayfenezin and menthol effectively and quickly reduces expressiveness of functional violations from a respiratory system.

Salbutamol — selection agonist β ₂ - adrenoceptors, it is effective and for long time expands bronchial tubes. In therapeutic doses does not cause stimulation of warm activity.

hydrochloride reduces viscosity of a phlegm and promotes its evacuation from bronchial tubes.

Gvayfenezin promotes expectoration and removal of a bronchial secret. Menthol reduces expressiveness of irritation and inflammation of a mucous membrane of airways.

Indication

Respiratory disease, followed by formation of the viscous hardly separated secret — a tracheobronchitis, chronic obstructive bronchitis, oh, emphysema of lungs, a pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia.

Use

to Adults and children aged from 12 years — on 10 ml (2 teaspoons) of syrup 3 times a day, to children at the age of 6–12 years — on 5–10 ml (1–2 teaspoons) of syrup 3 times a day, 2–6 years — on 5 ml (1 teaspoon) of syrup 3 times a day. duration of treatment is defined individually.

Contraindication

Hypersensitivity to salbutamol and other sympathomimetics, Bromhexine, a gvayfenezin, menthol or to other components of medicine, age up to 2 years.

Side effects

Most often arise the side effects connected with use of salbutamol. they do not differ from those for other agonists β2-адренорецепторов and include a tremor of muscles (mainly hands), painful spasms of muscles. moderate tachycardia, uneasiness, a headache, expansion of peripheral vessels can sometimes develop. at the patients sensitive to action β2-адреномиметиков, against the background of decrease hell can develop compensatory increase chss. at application of an askoril of the expektorant, violations from a digestive tract (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, an abdominal pain) which are connected with effects of a gvayfenezin, Bromhexine of a hydrochloride and menthol can sometimes develop.

At some patients the tranzitorny increase in activity of aminotransferases in blood caused by Bromhexine can develop.

With care by

at a hyper thyroidism, diabetes, diseases of a cardiovascular system (ibs, ag, arrhythmia) and a round ulcer of a stomach or duodenum.

Safety of use of medicine during pregnancy or feeding by a breast has no enough documentary confirmations therefore when prescribing medicine these categories of patients should weigh carefully the advantages got at use of medicine and potential risk to a fruit or the baby. Feeding by a breast for the period of use of medicine is recommended to be stopped.

during administration of medicament it is better for p to refrain from control of motor transport and other activity demanding exact coordination, speed of reaction and concentration of attention.

Interaction

Hypopotassemia which develops owing to use of the medicines containing salbutamol can amplify at the combined prescribing of diuretics. as a result of it risk of developing arrhythmias at application against the background of such treatment of cardiac glycosides increases.

at simultaneous use of blockers of β-adrenoceptors, especially non-selective (propranolol) and also can increase at simultaneous use of xanthines (theophylline).

Overdose

At overdose can develop excitement, confusion of consciousness and respiratory depression. treatment is symptomatic.

Storage conditions

B the dry, protected from light place at a temperature up to 25 °C.
