"Glyciram" for children: instructions
Reviews say that the drug is intended for both children and adults. Adults and children over the age of twelve take the medicine in tablets.
Children can take Glyciram from five months. For children under twelve years of age, it is recommended to use it in powder form.
"Glyciram" limits only the minimum age of persons who are allowed to use it, but there is no maximum limitation. That is, older people can also use it to treat their illnesses. Only if they do not have problems with the kidneys, liver and heart. And do not forget that compliance with the dosage is very important, since the consequences that arise in the event of an overdose are very unpleasant.
Compound
Glycyram is a derivative of ammonium glycyrrhizinate. This active ingredient is extracted from licorice root. Glyciram is a herbal preparation with auxiliary components in its composition. The latter are needed to give the dosage form the appropriate appearance and taste.
Composition of 1 tablet of Glyciram:
- ammonium glycyrrhizinate;
- talc;
- starch;
- sodium and calcium salts.
The basis for creating the corresponding drug remains licorice root. The herbal ingredient increases the speed of movement of the cilia of the respiratory epithelium with parallel stimulation of the formation of liquid mucus. The result of this effect is an improvement in the discharge of mucus from the tracheobronchial tree with a decrease in the intensity of cough.
However, in addition to the described properties, Glyciram has a complex of secondary effects.
Russian scientists from Volgograd State Medical University studied the nature of the drug’s effect on the body. It was possible to establish that the drug stabilizes the process of glycogenolysis in the liver (the breakdown of glycogen molecules) in response to stressful situations.
The result of such reactions is an increase in the amount of glucose in the blood, which provides additional saturation of brain cells with energy. The drug under study improves adrenal function by normalizing the synthesis of steroid hormones.
Interesting! According to the findings of scientists, Glyciram increases the adaptive capabilities of the body, which allows the body to adequately adapt to physical and psychological stress. The drug improves the patient's resistance to the influence of negative environmental factors.
