"Codelac® Broncho" is a medicine for wet cough, and "Codelac® Neo" fights dry cough. Both products come in different forms, some of which are even suitable for babies (from two months). So, whatever the cough, there is a solution in the Codelac® line. We will tell you what is included in the composition of the products, what is the principle of operation of the active components, what are the indications and contraindications for taking the drugs.
Cough is a common symptom of colds, a frequent companion to acute respiratory viral infections, including influenza, coronavirus infection, bronchitis, and pneumonia. We all know how much discomfort it causes: it irritates, interferes, and sometimes deprives us of sleep. I would like to find a reliable and safe remedy that will help quickly get rid of an annoying problem.
But cough can be productive or unproductive, and methods of treating it vary. So it is hardly possible to find a universal remedy: each type of cough requires a special drug. When it is wet (productive), it is necessary to reduce the density of sputum and facilitate its discharge. For this purpose, agents with mucolytic and expectorant effects are prescribed. With a dry (non-productive) cough, the first priority is to relieve the patient from painful attacks. For this purpose, drugs are used that affect the cough center in the central nervous system.
Both of these types of products are available in the Codelac® line. The effect of Codelac® Neo is aimed at combating dry coughs, while Codelac® Broncho is used against wet coughs.

pharmachologic effect
The medicine is a combined antitussive drug.
Codeine has an antitussive effect of central origin, reducing the excitability of the cough center.
Thermopsis herb contains alkaloids that increase bronchial secretion and accelerate its evacuation, thereby providing an expectorant effect.
Sodium bicarbonate alkalizes bronchial mucus, reduces the viscosity of sputum, and activates the motility of the bronchial epithelium.
Licorice root has an expectorant effect. It has an antispasmodic effect on smooth muscles and an anti-inflammatory effect.
Thyme herbal extract consists of a mixture of essential oils, which, by enhancing the activity of the ciliated epithelium of the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract, increasing the amount of secretion, diluting sputum and accelerating its evacuation, have an expectorant, anti-inflammatory, and bactericidal effect. Additional effects of thyme are also mild antispasmodic and healing.
