The drug "Lazolvan", its analogues in the treatment of diseases of the respiratory system

According to statistics, inflammatory diseases of the respiratory organs invariably retain the first place among other ailments and diseases. Usually they are accompanied by a cough, which it is accepted to fight by any means, forgetting that it is actually a protective function of the body.

Cough helps clear the respiratory tract from sputum and irritant bronchial substances. Sputum is a secret that produces the mucous membrane of the bronchi. In the inflammatory process, its quality changes, volume increases, its release from the respiratory tract worsens, and, consequently, the protective function is not performed.

In such a situation, the body needs medications, but it is by no means possible to apply those medications that suppress the cough. Their use is regulated by strict indications and, taking them without the appointment of a doctor, you can seriously damage the body. We need mucolytic drugs that dilute sputum and promote its excretion.

Such a preparation is Lazolvan, analogues of which are Ambrobene, Ambroxol, Ambrosan, Flavamed, Mukosolvan, Medovent contain the same active substance, ambroxol. These drugs contribute to the rapid dissolution of sputum, the restoration of mucous membranes of the bronchi and impaired elasticity of the lungs. In addition, the drug "Lazolvan" reduces adhesion, that is, adhesion of sputum to the walls of the bronchi, which facilitates coughing and helps to reduce the stagnation of secretion in the bronchi.

The pronounced expectorant effect of Lazolvan is supplemented with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, proven by numerous clinical studies. A very important property of this drug is the ability to enhance the formation of the respiratory tract surfactant, a protective surfactant that stimulates the removal of viruses and bacteria, foreign particles from the bronchi, resulting in their physiological purification.

Medication "Lazolvan", its analogs, "Ambrobene" and "Flavamed", in combination with preparations of antibacterial therapy contribute to the efficiency of mucosal repair and normalization of drainage function of the bronchi.

It is characteristic that these drugs, when interacting with antibiotics, potentiate the action of the latter. Clinical and experimental studies have shown that this combined use increases the concentration of a number of antibiotics in sputum and bronchopulmonary secretions. Undoubtedly, this is a very valuable property, thanks to which the drug "Lazolvan", its analogs - Ambrosan, Ambroxol and others - significantly improves the therapeutic effect of antibacterial agents. An important advantage of the drug "Lazolvan" and its analogs is the absence of any side effects.

"Lazolvan" or "Ambrobene", "Ambrosan" or "Flavamed" preparations - all these products containing ambroxol are positioned by doctors all over the world as reliable, effective and safe, which can be administered to the smallest patients and elderly people.

Concerning the question of what is better, Lazolvan or Ambrobene, it should be understood that the mechanism of their therapeutic effect is practically the same, but before using the analogs of Lazolvan, it is better to get a doctor's advice. Sometimes these drugs, which differ in composition by excipients, may not be suitable for some components. And although the cost of "Ambrobene" is much less than the cost of the drug "Lazolvan", it is impossible to say unequivocally which drug is better or worse. Choose for treatment "Lazolvan", its analogs should be individually for each patient.

In any case, the consultation of specialists is necessary, and self-medication can not lead to anything good. Doctors say that it is necessary to treat a specific disease rather than a cough, and, therefore, professional advice is needed, not only about the name of the drug, but also the dose, and the duration of its use.
