One of the best means for coughing is Lazolvan solution for inhalation. It can be safely used even for the treatment of children and the elderly! For carrying out inhalations any modern device, except those whose action is based on steam generation, is suitable.
How can I use Lazolvan for inhalations?
The main active component of Lazolvan is ambroxol hydrochloride. This substance has a complex effect:
- accelerates the cleansing of the upper and lower respiratory tract;
- liquefies phlegm;
- separates the cilia of the epithelium, facilitating the removal of mucus from the bronchi and lungs;
- relieves cough;
- strengthens the action of antimicrobials.
There are several forms of medication - in tablets, in the form of syrup and solution. The latter can be bred in tea or juice, taken orally, or used for inhalation. To date, doctors call this method of application the most effective. Let's discuss the rules of inhalation in more detail:
- Before you do inhalation with Lazolvan, make sure that you are not hungry and do not want to drink. The nearest meal after the procedure can be performed not earlier than in 40-60 minutes.
- Make sure that you do not have restrictions on sodium intake - the drug contains a fairly high dose of this microelement. If you are allergic, test for sensitivity to ambroxol. In case you have had cases of bronchospasm, take the first inhalation under the supervision of a doctor.
- A solution for inhalation with Lazolvanom is diluted in a one-to-one ratio with saline solution. It can be distilled water, sodium hydrochloride, or another neutral liquid that is not of alkaline nature.
- It is recommended to heat the medicine to body temperature, but not higher.
- During inhalations, breathe in a measured, not too deep way, to avoid excessive accumulation of fluid in the bronchi.
- Do not use Lazolvan together with drugs that depress cough. If you are prescribed antibiotics, you can slightly reduce the dosage - Lazolvan enhances the effect of such drugs.
- The remedy is not recommended for the treatment of patients with renal and hepatic insufficiency, as well as during pregnancy and lactation.
- Having learned how much Lazolvan costs for inhalations, many patients refuse to purchase it. Meanwhile, one bottle of the drug is enough to treat 3-4 people. The drug is perfectly stored.
