A cough is an unconditioned reflex. With its help, the body clears the respiratory tract from irritating agents. Herbion cough drug facilitates this process and effectively prevents the development of inflammation.
Feature of Herbion syrups
The pharmaceutical company Krka (Slovenia) has created 3 herbal Herbion syrups, which are used in the treatment of cough.

The drug Herbion has practically no side effects.
Types of Herbion syrups
There are Herbion syrups with extracts of the following plants:
- plantain leaves;
- ivy leaves;
- primrose root.
Each syrup has its own mechanism of action, and they are used for a certain type of cough. Herbion is a thick brown liquid with a pleasant taste. It is the viscous consistency that is not suitable for the digestive system of babies. Therefore, Gerbion preparations are not given to children under 2 years of age.
Despite the fact that all drugs in the series are plant-based, they cannot be used without consulting your doctor.
Thyme extract has a mild diuretic effect, which is good for treating senile cough. The essential oil thymol is excreted through the bronchi and thus has a therapeutic effect.

Can the drug be used by pregnant women

Herbion syrup with ivy
The drug is a combined remedy: it can be used for any type of cough. It has the following components: 
- ivy leaf extract;
- liquid sorbitol;
- citric acid;
- preservative E211;
- glycerol;
- water;
- flavoring.
It is used at all stages of diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract.
Application features
The method of using ivy-based syrup differs from the use of other Herbion preparations: its dosage and course of treatment are reduced. It is taken no more than 1 week in the following amount:
- children 2–5 years old - ½ measuring spoon twice a day;
- 5–12 years old - twice 5 ml;
- from 12 years old and older - 7.5 ml twice.

The cough reflex is a means of cleansing the body and must be used skillfully. In order to choose the optimal from the variety of cough medicines, it must be borne in mind that, depending on the mode of action, there are 3 types.
Mucoregulatory (mucolytic). They are used in the early stages of infection, with an unproductive cough. They thin phlegm but do not increase phlegm production.
They are used when a wet cough occurs. Strengthening the contractions of the bronchi, they increase the production of sputum, facilitate its waste. Pathogens are removed along with the mucus.
Antitussive. They act on, oppressing him. Suppression of the cough reflex does not facilitate sputum excretion. Therefore, such drugs are not effective in treating respiratory tract infections and have many side effects. They are dangerous to use with increased secretion of mucus in the respiratory system. As for the use of Herbion preparations, you need to adhere to the sequence.
The first stage of the disease is a dry cough, accompanied by a burning sensation and sore throat. Plantain or ivy syrups are used. When phlegm appears, the plantain syrup is replaced by Herbion with primrose, which promotes expectoration and clears the respiratory tract. The different effect of these groups of drugs is the reason that treatment should be started after consulting a doctor, especially for nursing mothers and pregnant women.
Due to its unique composition, the syrup effectively copes with dry cough in a short time. The advantage of the drug is its high efficiency and the possibility of using it for children and adults.

The opinion of Dr. Komarovsky
A well-known doctor believes that taking drugs to eliminate cough is necessary only if it is a serious illness (whooping cough, pneumonia). The doctor says that the cough is treated by eliminating the cause.
In 90% of cases, the cause of discomfort is a sore throat or too dry air in the room.
