Cough often remains for a long time after the main symptoms of the virus or cold have passed. Residual phenomena are difficult to treat, because the main arsenal of medicines was used only recently, and to repeat the strengthened course of treatment means to load the main body filters again - the liver and kidneys. Therefore, to treat a cold or cough that has remained after the illness, use local therapy - hot compresses and inhalations. Often with acute symptoms of the disease, you also need to cough or runny nose, but at a temperature you can not use thermal procedures, and therefore all that remains is to drink teas and take pills.
If the cough does not go away for a long time, some doctors recommend inhalation based on medications - in this case Lazolvan. This medication refers to a mucous and expectorant group that dilute sputum and speeds up its release.
Dosage of drugs
To conduct inhalations use Lazolvan, diluted with saline. Fizrastvor improves the absorption of any medication, and therefore it should be included in the inhalation.
Lazolvan for inhalation in ampoules used for 2-3 ml. In this case, saline is added in the same amount.
Optimal inhalation 2 times a day, but with a strong wet cough frequency of inhalations per day can be increased up to 3 times.
How do I do inhalation with Lazolvan?
Before you do inhalation with Lazolvan, prepare the necessary ingredients and place them in the inhalation device. Pick up the inhalation time so that the patient is not after the procedure in the cold air.
It should also be noted that a strong cough is not a 100% indicator for the procedure. It is forbidden to do with dry cough , because inhalation contributes to expectoration, and it can lead to
During Lazolvan inhalation through the nebulizer , follow the instructions - the patient should breathe calmly so as not to cause a cough effect with a deep breath. If inhalation is carried out at elevated temperature, the solution must be heated to body temperature. In bronchial asthma, the patient must take bronchodilators before inhalation to prevent an attack.
Inhalation with Lazolvanom during pregnancy is undesirable - they are prohibited in 1 trimester, and in 2 and 3, the doctor in charge at appointment should assess the possible threat of Lazolvan treatment. The instructions to Lazolvan indicate that during the study, the researchers found no adverse effect of the drug on the course of pregnancy after 28 weeks.
