The preparation "Imupret". Instruction for children: dosage, methods of taking

The German immunomodulating drug Imupret, the instructions for use of which will be given further to your attention, contains in its basis substances of plant origin. It is able to affect the immune system of both the adult and the child, acting as a preventive agent, and significantly accelerate the healing process, working in conjunction with other drugs.

Form release and composition of the preparation "Imupret"

The said product is produced in the form of sugar coated dragees packed in blisters, or oral drops, packaged in convenient bottles of dark glass. The presence of a liquid form of the drug, judging by the opinions of specialists and parents of small patients, greatly facilitates its use, especially when treating infants.

According to the instructions attached to the Imupret medication, it contains an extract of seven medicinal plants: the root of the althaea, horsetail herb, walnut leaves, chamomile flowers, oak bark, and yarrow and dandelion grass. In the dragee, additives are added in the form of glucose monohydrate, lactose and sucrose.

How the preparation "Imupret" works: instruction

For children, one should try to select the safest and at the same time effective drugs. The instructions to the agent we are considering say that it has the same anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anti-edematous and immunomodulatory effect. This is due to the fact that the substances that make up the drug, in infectious diseases, enhance the ability of cells to repair chemical damage and ruptures in DNA molecules (in medicine, this property is called repair). In addition, they activate and phagocytosis - the ability of special blood cells to absorb pathogens of infection.

Thanks to this property, the use of drops or Imupret pellets (the reviews we will consider later in this article) can reduce the duration of the acute period of the disease, and if the drug was taken for prevention, then reduce the incidence and severity of infectious diseases.

The mechanism of action of the described preparation is determined by the properties of the plant components that make up its composition. They perfectly complement each other, so they relieve inflammation and reduce the swelling of the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract. In addition, both drops and dragees have enveloping properties, which helps to reduce the irritation of the mucous membranes and, as a result, to alleviate, and subsequently eliminate, the unproductive cough.

In what cases are drops or dragées "Imupret" used for children (instruction)

Drops and dragees are used mainly in the complex therapy of acute or chronic diseases of the respiratory tract (tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis), regardless of the etiology of the disease.

In addition, the described preparation is used as a preventive agent to prevent relapses during chronic pathologies of the upper respiratory tract, and also to avoid possible infection during epidemics.

Contraindications

Who should not take the drops and the Imupret pellet? For children and adults who do not suffer from hypersensitivity to the substances included in the said substance, the drug of Bionorica is safe. Allergic people better find a different medicine. By the way, in people who are allergic to plants of the family Compositae, the use of the drug in combination with the means that include chamomile flowers can cause a negative reaction of the body.

In addition, the said drug is not prescribed to women during pregnancy, and also during lactation.

Side effects

Do you know why pediatricians often appoint Imupret to their patients? For children, many drugs are now being manufactured, but not all of them work well with other antimicrobial and antiviral drugs. Another matter - the means we are considering. The product of the company "Bionorica" is used as part of complex therapy and, which is especially pleasing for parents, rarely causes side effects. Nevertheless, sometimes complaints are still received. As a rule, negative reactions are caused by individual intolerance and are expressed by pain in the abdomen, nausea, and sometimes vomiting. Some patients may develop allergic reactions in the form of urticaria, itching, or edema of the nasal cavity. If any reactions occur, the drug should be discontinued and consult the pediatrician.

Features of taking drops "Imupret"

According to the instructions attached to the preparation "Imupret" the instruction for children is better to buy this product in the form of drops. The bottle is equipped with a convenient pipette, which can easily measure the dose prescribed by the doctor. By the way, babies can add medicine to juices or tea, while adults are recommended to drink undiluted.

How does the instruction recommend taking Imupret? For children over 6 years and adults with acute or chronic inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract, the dosage is 15 drops to 6 times a day. For babies from year to 6 years, the dose, as a rule, does not exceed 10 drops, you need to take the medicine 5 or 6 times a day. And a pediatrician recommends giving 5 drops in the same regime every year under the age of one year.

By the way, this drug is consumed regardless of food intake. Before use, do not forget to shake the bottle. If the parents give the baby a pills (this form of the drug is indicated to patients over 6 years old), they should remember that the medicine is not chewed, but swallowed whole, squeezed with enough liquid.

As the instructions attached to the Imupret facility emphasize, for children the course of therapy for an acute form of the disease lasts not less than a week, and for a chronic one - at least six weeks. If the clinical picture has improved, the frequency of administration is reduced to three times a day, without changing the single dose.

Important! Remember that the opened bottle can be stored for no more than six months.

What can be useful drug Imupret

Most often, the described drug is used in a complex of therapeutic measures or as a preventive agent. The child organism is most susceptible to infections, and therefore needs protection. A good assistant in this case will be drops and pellets "Imupret". Instruction for children, doctors 'and parents' reviews say that this preparation is a high-quality natural remedy, possessing not only high efficiency, but also safety, even under the condition of long-term use.

The main thing at the same time is to accurately observe the dosage, the rules of admission and do not stop therapy, even if a significant improvement in the child's condition is found. Only a full course will help to consolidate the result and reduce the possibility of relapse to zero.

Drugs with a similar effect

If for some reason you do not get these drops (although about using Imupret for children, reviews are usually only positive), they can be replaced with medicines with a similar effect. However, it is necessary to do this, only after consulting with a doctor, since the components of new medicines, and their effect on the patient, may differ markedly.

So, the analogues available for drops of Imupret are medicines, which also contain plant components and help in the process of complex therapy of acute and chronic diseases of the respiratory system. Here are just a few of them:

• Drops of Sinupret (the root of the gentian, primrose, elderberry and verbena flowers), which have the ability to remove puffiness in the nasal passages, regulate liquefaction and secretion of the secretions in the maxillary sinuses and enhance immunity.
• Drops and syrup "Bronchipret" (the composition includes a herb of thyme and ivy leaves), which have a pronounced expectorant, anti-inflammatory and secretolytic effect.
• Syrup and drops "Immunal" (extract of Echinacea grass), used to stimulate immune recall, as well as as an antiviral agent for diseases of influenza and herpes.

Finally some information about the reviews

The instruction (for children and adults alike, with the exception of dosages) is described in detail by the "Imupret" drop, describes in detail the effect of this drug, but the responses of parents, whose children, on the advice of doctors, took it during illness, naturally, seem more convincing.

And I must say that most of these reviews confirm the reliability and quick effect of the drug. True, some mothers complain of a noticeable alcohol aftertaste in drops, but since they can be added to juice or tea, then obviously this problem is not so acute. It is much more interesting to find out whether the Imupret drops are really so good. For children (reviews say that parents and pediatricians in this matter are unanimous) this is a very good tool. According to experts, after taking the drug, small patients recover much more quickly and do not end up with complications after illness, and in healthy children, the risk of getting sick during the autumn-winter epidemics of influenza or ARI is greatly reduced. Feedback satisfied moms most often confirm the statements of doctors. But to appoint this drug, regardless of its plant composition and almost complete safety (if there is no allergy to the acting components), only a pediatrician can. Do not try to heal yourself!
