I've heard a lot about the Bronchicum drug. Reviews of people who took it or take it, only positive. And here I myself had to get to know him better.

The instruction to the drug indicates that it is a bronchodilator and an anti-inflammatory agent, and (which usually pleases all patients) of plant origin. It consists of an extract of thyme and primrose roots, which together with a special sugar syrup and sodium benzoate help with coughing, since they exert an expectorant effect. Transparent or sometimes slightly turbid reddish-brown solution faintly smells of thyme, which does not cause negative emotions during admission. It brings relief from coughing, because as a result of the application it helps to reduce sputum.
