Pertusin syrup 200 g in a pack

Description

When to Choose Pertussin

Pertussin syrup is a time-tested, herbal medicinal product. It is commonly used as part of combination therapy for:

• symptoms of acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) accompanied by cough;
• acute and chronic bronchitis, tracheitis;
• as part of combination therapy for pneumonia and pertussis (whooping cough);
• a lingering cough after a cold to help ease discomfort;
• difficulty expectorating thick mucus.

What Problem the Product Solves

Pertussin supports the airways’ natural self-clearing mechanism:

• Helps thin and clear mucus: stimulates ciliary epithelium activity, promoting the movement of secretions from the lower to the upper airways.
• Softens the cough: helps a dry, irritating cough become productive (wet).
• Soothing effect: potassium bromide in the formula helps reduce nervous system excitability, which may ease coughing fits.
• Reduces irritation: supports a milder course of illness without aggressive impact on the body.

Conditions and Particulars of Use

The product is a practical choice for a home medicine cabinet in the autumn–winter season, but follow these rules:

• Age: suitable for adults and children aged 4 and over (for children 4–6 years old, be sure to dilute in 20 ml of water).
