Now that we've talked about the proper application of the tool, we can move on to another important topic - to bring feedback. "Kodelak Broncho" has quite positive characteristics from patients, but before you assign it to yourself (that is, take without a doctor's prescription), you still need to read about what other people think and how others say about it. So, the reviews themselves. "Kodelak Broncho" is a very popular pharmaceutical brand, and it received a lot of customer characteristics. For example, many praise exactly the form in tablets, here are their pros and cons, according to the patients:

• The medicine has a very affordable price: in the drugstore the price for it varies from 100 to 150 rubles, but this is still a little, in comparison with other similar means;

Such positive characteristics are given by buyers to this product.

"Kodelak Broncho", tablets: negative reviews and shortcomings

First, the code does not contain codeine anymore, but this is both a plus and a minus, because even though codeine drowns out the cough fast enough, it is an easy narcotic that causes attachment, which is quite dangerous. To some, the medicine only helps on the third, fourth, or even fifth day. Also complain that ten tablets are not always enough for a full recovery. These are the drawbacks revealed by patients taking the drug in the form of tablets. But there is also another form - syrup. About it will be discussed below.

What do customers say about cough syrup?

So, the syrup "Kodelak Broncho". Reviews about it are also positive, although there are some minor drawbacks associated with cough treatment with this tool. It contains a number of herbal ingredients, for example, the drug "Kodelak Broncho with thyme" is produced, the expectoration syrup-elixir (this is the full name of the medical device). Its advantages:

• The drug really copes with a cough, that is, in only 2-3 days.
• Again, a pleasant price. Depending on the region, it varies from one hundred to one hundred and seventy rubles, although it can become a drawback if two packages are needed.
• The syrup itself is convenient to use, it does not taste bad and is easily perceived by both adults and children.
• Has a scent, however, an amateur - some attribute this characteristic to positive properties, and many - and no.

Of course, the tool has negative characteristics. They will be discussed below.

"Codelac Broncho" cough syrup: negative reviews

Again the same as with tablets: some remedy does not help even after three or four days of treatment. There are data that the drug does not help at all. Some people are disgusted with its smell, but here, as they say, an amateur. Here such negative responses have received means "Kodelak Broncho Elixir" and tablets "Kodelak Broncho". That is, the two main products of this brand, which you can buy at the pharmacy without a doctor's prescription.

A little more about the preparation in the form of tablets

I would like to say that, compared to their counterparts in the pharmacy, their price is quite acceptable. That is, the drug itself - from the series "why pay more when you can buy the same at an affordable price?". Moreover, the Kodelak Broncho tablets, the instructions for use of which are attached to each pack, do not have strict contraindications to the use. And the main minus of tablets, according to buyers, is what (it's interesting enough, but it occurs in many reviews) - if you consume three tablets a day, then the patient will successfully use nine in three days, and then there will be only one. What to do with one tablet? In addition, some, apparently because of the characteristics of the organism, this drug helps only on the fifth or sixth day. To buy two packs is already unprofitable - three hundred rubles, or even more. On the one hand, the price - plus this drug, on the other - can be its significant disadvantage.

Information about the syrup "Kodelak Broncho"

So, the syrup itself is a preparation against cough combined action. Codeine in this preparation performs the main antitussive action - it is added to the syrup, so there are some nuances that must be taken into account. Codeine with increasing in doses (normal doses - what is recommended in the instruction to the elixir) causes drowsiness, heavy breathing, as well as inhibition in the work of the intestine. Nausea and vomiting may occur, temporary visual impairment may occur. In simpler terms, the recommended dose of the drug is better not to be exceeded under any circumstances, so that there are no side effects afterwards. With prolonged use (it is important!) Codeine can cause dependence. Another component - the herb of thermopsis - contains substances that stimulate the vomiting center. In our case, the herb of thermopsis has an excellent expectorant effect. And the bicarbonate entering into the sodium composition changes the pH of the bronchial mucus to the alkaline side, while reducing the viscosity of the sputum. The root of licorice is added to the syrup too for expectorant action. Also, the root extract has an antispasmodic effect on smooth muscles, that is, it helps to expectorate. In general, no matter what they say about the drug "Kodelak Broncho" for children, the instruction for use advises to be more careful with it. Besides, maybe it's better to choose another cough drug for a child? ..

conclusions

So, in this article we have considered positive and negative feedback. "Kodelak Broncho", which comes in two forms, has both. That is, after reading the information above, you must decide whether to use it for treatment or not. On the one hand, taking pills is very convenient: for example, they can be taken with you to work, to travel and so on. On the other hand, many prefer syrup, since, judging by the responses of customers, it helps better than a solid form of the drug. Either way, you should keep in mind that if a cough does not go away, especially a child, you should immediately consult a doctor. Cough itself is not dangerous, but it can be a symptom of serious diseases like severe pneumonia, complications after the flu and colds, bronchitis. Also, there is a risk that he will pass into a chronic form, and you will need to be treated in a hospital, and not at home with pills. Therefore, carefully watch your health, and especially - for the health of your children. Do not allow yourself and them to take the drug longer than indicated in the instructions, and do not abuse the use of syrup, and "Codelac Broncho" (pills) it is better not to drink more than 3-4 days. The best solution is the prevention of colds. That is, during epidemics it is best to take care of strengthening immunity in advance: take vitamins, immunostimulating drugs, walk more in the fresh air and play sports. And then no illnesses will be terrible to you.
