Features of the drug
Stodal is recommended for the treatment of dry cough in children.
That is why the drug is available in the form of syrup. The drug is packaged in 200 ml dark glass bottles (ultraviolet protection). It is important to know that the composition includes ethyl alcohol, various sweeteners and preservatives. You need to be as careful as possible if you have an individual intolerance to chemical components.
Limitations to treatment
Stodal rarely causes side effects. Those at risk for contraindications include allergy sufferers, children with fructosuria (hereditary disease), sugar-isomaltase deficiency (problems with the breakdown of sucrose) and glucose-galactose malabsorption (pathology of the gastrointestinal tract). It is not recommended to treat cough with this remedy when diagnosing diabetes mellitus and dangerous liver diseases.
Instructions for use
Stodal’s description states that the syrup can be given even to infants. Many experts do not agree with such recommendations, since the drug contains ethyl alcohol, which is prohibited for children under 2 years of age. The manufacturer's justification can be considered the minimum dosage of such a component in a single dose of the drug (0.069 g).
According to the instructions, you need to take 5-7 ml of syrup every 6-8 hours. In reviews from doctors, the most common recommendation is that it is best to perform effects on the bronchi after eating. Thus, the load on the liver and other gastrointestinal organs can be significantly reduced. Some pediatricians allow infants to be treated with Stodal. In order to eliminate a dry, unproductive cough in a baby, it is necessary to reduce the dosage to half a teaspoon 3-4 times a day.

Features of taking a homeopathic remedy
On the Internet you can find conflicting reviews about homeopathic remedies in general, and about Stodal in particular. Some people do not consider homeopathy a medicine, but talk about the “placebo” effect. You can have different attitudes to this topic, but the fact remains: the drug helps get rid of dry and wet coughs, eases the course of colds and strengthens the immune system.
Positive and negative reviews of the medicine indicate that all people have different immunity and a different course of the disease. Therefore, good doctors select medications individually, depending on the patient’s characteristics.
The disadvantage of this syrup is its ethanol content. It is best not to take it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. At the same time, the drug is safe for children of preschool and school age. Given this negative quality, many are looking for similar syrups.
Direct analogues
Every pharmacy sells several cough syrups. However, patients choose one remedy that has helped them before. But viruses and bacteria constantly mutate and become immune to certain drugs. Therefore, it is recommended to periodically change the syrups and tablets with which you treat colds.
There is no medicine with the same set of components. But direct analogues with a similar mechanism of action include:

Can the medicine harm the unborn baby?
Many women are interested in the question of whether this drug can be used during pregnancy. According to experts, Stodal syrup does not affect the fetus in the womb, but only if the woman followed the correct dosage and was treated following all the doctor’s instructions. However, it is worth considering the fact that many children at birth may have an allergic reaction to certain drugs. The main reason for this is the excessive use of certain substances by the expectant mother. Therefore, some plant components that are part of the syrup can lead to allergic reactions in a newborn baby. However, if the expectant mother was treated correctly and followed the dosages prescribed by the doctor, then this will not lead to problems in the future.
Instructions for use of Stodal syrup
Often, due to its herbal base, syrup is prescribed by patients on their own without the recommendation of a specialist, especially since the attached Stodal instructions contain a detailed description of how to treat a cough in a particular case.
So, the daily dose depends on the age of the patient and is one tablespoon up to five times a day for adults, and one teaspoon of Stodal syrup up to three times a day for children.
We can safely say that Stodal is only an additional element of treatment, so it is recommended to first discuss its purchase with a specialist.
Dosage form and pharmacological properties
Stodal is produced and released in the form of a syrup, transparent with a yellowish tint and a sweet taste, contained in a dark glass bottle with a measuring cap. One jar of the drug contains two hundred milliliters of syrup, which includes the following herbal ingredients:
- Bryonia is a plant that is a perennial climbing vine used in the treatment of colds and acute viral infections;
- Pulsatilla is a herbaceous plant known as a sedative and analgesic;
- Rumex Crispus is a weed that has become famous as a cough remedy;
- ipeca is a poisonous plant, better known as an emetic root, used in small doses for coughs;
- Spongia toast - a dried sponge, in small doses eliminates dry throat;
- Stikta pulmonaria – moss, used to eliminate dry mucous membranes;
- coccus kakti - used for spasmodic cough.
These medicinal components are contained in the drug in a dosage of 0.95 grams each.
To give Stodal a pleasant taste, additional ingredients such as Tolu and Polygala syrups, sucrose, and caramel are used. The drug also contains ethanol and benzoic acid.
Additionally, the packaging with the drug contains instructions for use, containing detailed information about the composition, indications and contraindications for the use of the drug, as well as data on the dosage regimen and storage period of the drug.
Stodal for cough for children. Instructions for use
Stodal is a multi-component cough syrup. It is produced in dark bottles and has a sweet and cloying taste. Since the drug is homeopathic, it is believed that it can be used in adults, children and pregnancy. Is syrup suitable for everyone?
The official instructions do not contain either a prescribing schedule for the drug or precise instructions at what age it can be prescribed.
Children under one year old
But the official instructions say cunningly: give children 5 ml using a measuring cap 3 to 5 times a day. The duration of use must be agreed with your doctor.
Reception during pregnancy and lactation
It must be remembered that ethanol easily overcomes the placental barrier and enters the baby’s bloodstream. It has been proven that ethyl alcohol causes congenital malformations in fetuses. Ethanol is also excreted in milk. It is not known in what concentrations alcohol enters the child’s body, neither in the first nor in the second case. Thus, I would advise against taking it in these situations.
However, the official instructions state briefly that a doctor’s consultation is required.
For adults, the drug is recommended 15 ml 3 - 5 times a day.
Composition of the drug
- Pulsatilla (sleep herb) has an anti-inflammatory effect and reduces the urge to cough.
- Rumex crispus (curly dock). Also has an anti-inflammatory effect.
- Bryonia (white step) is a poisonous plant, is an analgesic, reduces the viscosity of sputum.
- Ipeca (emetic root) is a plant used in small doses for coughs.
- Spongia tosta (burnt sea sponge) is used for hoarseness and reduces bronchospasm.
- Sticta pulmonaria (lichen) treats ear and throat diseases and relieves inflammation.
- Antimonium tartaricum (tartar emetic) is used for convulsive coughing, to expel mucus.
- Myocarde is a remedy that facilitates the discharge of sputum.
- Coccus cacti is used in the treatment of whooping cough and to relieve cough associated with it.
- Drosera (sundew) is an herb that relieves coughs.
- ethyl alcohol 96%;
- benzoic acid;
- Tolu syrup, Polegal syrup;
- sucrose syrup up to 100 ml.
Knowing the composition of the drug, we conclude that it should be prescribed with caution to people with:
- diabetes mellitus;
- alcohol addiction;
- epilepsy.
Side effects of the drug
The official instructions say that at the moment there is no information about the side effects of the drug. If side effects occur, you should consult a doctor.
Since there is no data on pharmacokinetics, there is also no data on the effects caused by the drug.
But given the complex herbal composition, an allergic reaction is possible.
- Fructosuria.
- Glucose-galactose malabsorption.
- Allergy.
- Sucrose-isomaltase deficiency.
A very significant advantage of the drug is that it does not cause an overdose.
Contraindications to taking Stodal syrup
The main contraindication is an allergy to one of the components. Therefore, you should carefully study the composition before purchasing cough medicine. The components of the drug are of plant origin, so they can cause rashes, digestive disorders and other allergic reactions.
The drug is contraindicated in the following diseases:
- glucose-galactose malabsorption;
- sucrose-isomaltase deficiency;
- fructose intolerance.
Patients with diabetes are not recommended to take the medicine in large doses, as it contains sucrose. Patients with alcohol dependence, epilepsy or liver disease should consult a doctor because the drug contains ethanol. However, it does not affect the ability to drive vehicles.
For diabetes mellitus, the drug is strictly contraindicated
pharmachologic effect

Under the influence of the drug, a dry cough gradually turns into a wet one. The drug has an expectorant, bronchodilator effect. The Bryonia component helps reduce the viscosity of sputum and dilute it. As a result, the airways are gradually cleared.
The components Rumex Crispus and Pulsatilla are an effective cough suppressant if the patient is bothered by a dry spasmodic cough. Under their influence, the urge to cough decreases.
The components Spongia toast and Ipecac contain alkaloids that effectively reduce the manifestations of bronchospasm in the patient.
Stikta pulmonaria is effective in the treatment of debilitating cough, in which the patient also experiences other symptoms (headache, sneezing
, tearfulness).

Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Stodal is one of the complex homeopathic preparations, including mainly herbal components.
Thanks to the substances included in its composition, the product is effective for various types of cough. It has a bronchodilator, expectorant effect, and helps accelerate the transition of a dry cough to a wet one.
Main properties of components:
- bryonia: has an effect on diluting sputum and reducing its viscosity, which leads to improved fluidity of bronchopulmonary secretions and, as a result, helps cleanse the respiratory tract;
- Spongia toast, ipeka: contain alkaloids that reduce bronchospasm and have a similar effect to papaverine;
- Rumex Crispus, Pulsatilla: used to relieve dry spasmodic cough; as a result of the use of these components, the urge to cough is reduced; their effectiveness is similar to ethylmorphine hydrochloride (codetyline).
Indications for use
It is difficult to say which cough is more dangerous: wet or dry. Often the baby first suffers from dryness and then from moisture - this means that the healing process is going in the right direction. With a wet cough, the child suffers from sputum, which constantly accumulates in the lungs and irritates the mucous membrane, causing involuntary coughing and expectoration. When dry, the baby experiences discomfort, feels dryness and irritation in the larynx.
If you do not take any action, the cough can develop not only into chronic, but also into painful. Ideally, you should consult a doctor immediately. If this is not yet possible, then the first steps need to be taken:
- reduce the viscosity of sputum;
- cleanse the bronchi;
- prevent fluid from stagnating in the lungs;
- Make sure that inflammatory processes do not start.
Stodal syrup will help with this. It has expectorant and bronchodilator properties.
When compared with other medicines, which are often intended only for one type of cough, the presented homeopathic remedy can be called universal, because it is suitable for both wet and dry coughing. It is recommended to give young children exactly as much syrup as the doctor prescribes. Usually this is no more than 5 ml of syrup and no more often than once every 5-8 hours.
Instructions for use
The drug Stodal is harmless and therefore has no age restrictions. It is prescribed to both adults and children from a very early age.
The dosage of the drug for adults is 15 ml of syrup at a time with an interval of at least eight hours. For acute symptoms and before relief begins, you can use the syrup up to six times a day.
For children, Stodal syrup is prescribed in a dosage of 5 ml at a time every eight hours. On the first day, you can increase the time of taking the drug up to six times a day.
The duration of treatment depends on the form of the disease and the individual characteristics of the patient’s body. The duration of the course is prescribed by the attending physician in each case individually.
During pregnancy and lactation, it is worth considering that the drug contains a small amount of ethyl alcohol. Each of the components can cause an allergic reaction under certain characteristics of the body.
But still, doctors very often prescribe Stodal to pregnant women in any trimester of pregnancy. The dosage for a pregnant woman is the same as for any adult patient - 15 ml at a time up to five times a day. It is worth considering that this drug is prescribed only for severe and debilitating coughs that require mandatory treatment.
If coughing occurs on its own, then taking Stodal can have the opposite effect and only worsen the cough and increase its duration.
Stodal is practically harmless, made mainly from herbal ingredients, so it is often prescribed to women during lactation. Due to the fact that the syrup does not have a pungent odor, the risk of baby weaning is eliminated. The syrup does not affect the properties of breast milk and is not dangerous for the baby. The drug is used in combination with other medications that help treat influenza and ARVI.
For children, Stodal is prescribed in case of cough of various etiologies. The syrup is used in combination with other drugs, and also has a positive effect in the treatment of flu and colds. Stodal has a strong anti-inflammatory effect, therefore it eliminates symptoms such as headache, lacrimation, and elevated body temperature. The drug relieves inflammation in the respiratory tract, thereby stopping irritation, and then removes mucus from the lungs.
It is imperative to take into account that any component of the drug can cause an allergic reaction in a child. Therefore, at the first appearance of a rash or irritation on the skin, you should stop taking the drug and consult a doctor.
You should not start taking Stodal on your own, without a doctor’s prescription.
The course and duration of treatment is prescribed by the doctor individually for each patient.
Use for children and pregnant women
Children are recommended to take Stodal medicine 2-3 times a day every 8 hours. Recommended dosage – 5 ml. If the cough is severe, you can increase the number of doses to 5 per day. If the drug is ineffective within a week, it is discontinued. As a rule, Stodal is drunk until the symptoms of the disease disappear.
Since the drug contains ethanol, it should be taken with caution during pregnancy under medical supervision. It is better not to self-medicate without consulting a specialist.
Stodal during pregnancy
Pregnant women, as a rule, monitor their health very carefully. Of course: they are responsible for ensuring that the baby, growing every day in their tummy, is born healthy and strong. And for this you will have to make every effort so that you do not have to take any medications for health reasons. But, unfortunately, no one is immune from diseases that are accompanied by a cough. These include colds, allergies, and any other diseases of the respiratory system.
It happens that a woman in this position is tormented by a cough so much that she doesn’t want to live. Not always folk remedies (all kinds of inhalations, mustard plasters, warm milk with honey and iodine nets) can help in the fight against cough. Then the question quite naturally arises: how to treat, so as not to harm the little life? And very often in such cases the drug Stodal comes to the rescue.
Stodal during pregnancy: instructions
Stodal is a homeopathic remedy that is used to treat coughs of various origins. It has a bronchodilator effect on the body (dilation of the bronchi), mucolytic effect (thinning and facilitating the removal of sputum) and expectorant effect. And although this drug is homeopathic, pregnant women should still consult a doctor before using it.
The dosage is usually calculated by the attending physician. If there are no special indications, then the dosage of Stodal for a pregnant woman is calculated in the same way as usual for adults - 3-5 times a day, one tablespoon or 15 ml of the drug. It is very easy to measure the required dose: for this purpose, a measuring cap is attached to the bottle of medicine.
Stodal can be safely combined with taking other medications that are safe during pregnancy that have been prescribed to you - it does not affect their effectiveness. The instructions for the drug indicate only one contraindication to the use of this drug - individual intolerance to any of its components.
As for side effects, they can probably occur, but so far pharmacologists have no data on this: the drug is usually well tolerated.
Is it possible to Stodal during pregnancy?
There are no special warnings regarding the use of Stodal during pregnancy in the instructions for its use. Homeopaths assure that you can be treated with Stodal at any time, if the need arises.
However, it is worth considering that the drug contains ethyl alcohol. And although its concentration is insignificant (1 tablespoon of Stodal contains 0.206 g of ethanol, 1 teaspoon - 0.069 g), you should not lose sight of this fact
Also, pregnant women suffering from diabetes should take into account that one tablespoon of Stodal contains almost 1 bread unit (XE)
Reviews of Stodal among women who took it during pregnancy are different. But there are more positive ones: it helped most women cope with their cough without causing any unusual reactions. But there are also women for whom Stodal did not help overcome their cough.
In any case, before taking the drug, consultation with a specialist is required. Under no circumstances should you self-medicate, as it can have negative consequences. Even healthy people sometimes get problems when they try to treat themselves without first seeing a doctor. It is the doctor who must establish the origin of the cough, its nature, nature and cause. Only then can we talk about prescribing any medications.
Moreover, the doctor will determine the duration and intensity of treatment: Stodal is a drug that stimulates the thinning of mucus and its coughing, and therefore should be taken only during the most severe period of coughing. If expectoration occurs on its own, then there is no point in stimulating it: this way the cough can be artificially prolonged. With the help of a doctor, it will be possible to determine whether a pregnant woman really needs the coughing effect with Stodal, or whether it is possible to avoid taking it.
Indications for use
For what cough do you take syrup? The mixture contains mainly plant extracts. Thanks to the large number of ingredients and their competent combination, the syrup can be taken for any type of cough.
Most often, the medicine is prescribed for mild colds in childhood. Thanks to the combination of active ingredients, even small doses of the drug will help alleviate the baby’s condition and cope with inflammatory processes:
- Some components - pulsatilla, rumex crispus - inhibit the activity of cough receptors in the brain, so the drug can be taken for dry cough.
- Other ingredients, such as bryonia, effectively thin mucus. It is these properties that allow the drug to be used for wet coughs.
- The medicinal plant extracts ipecac and sponga toast contain alkaloids similar in their effects to antispasmodics. Thanks to this, Stodal for children effectively eliminates muscle spasms and reduces attacks of shortness of breath.

Stodal
Stodal is a homeopathic syrup from a French pharmaceutical used for symptomatic (aimed at eliminating the symptoms of the disease, not its cause) treatment of cough of various etiologies.
Cough, as you know, is a protective reaction of the body, expressed in a sharp exhalation and ensuring cleansing of the bronchial tree from foreign particles, all kinds of pathogens and sputum.
At the same time, cough is not an independent disease: in the vast majority (about 90%) of cases, it signals the presence of some kind of infection in the respiratory tract. The latter can be localized in the upper or lower respiratory tract.
aimed at both eliminating symptoms and eliminating the cause of the pathological process. The key method of treating cough caused by ARVI is measures to reduce viscosity and evacuate mucus from the respiratory tract.
Today, clinicians have a wide choice of drugs that help thin sputum (mucolytic drugs) and expectoration. If we talk about a “dry” (without sputum) cough, then, as a rule, it is “nipped in the bud,” i.e. suppress the cough reflex using centrally acting antitussives.
A reasonable alternative to the above groups of drugs may be homeopathic medicines, such as stodal syrup. The pharmacologically active components included in its composition are effective against various types of cough in both adults and children, including the “dry” cough characteristic of ARVI.
Thus, emetic root “works well” for “dry” spastic (to the point of nausea and vomiting) cough, Mexican cochineal is effective for coughing attacks with thick sputum that is difficult to separate, curly sorrel and white sorrel are used for “dry” cough, potentiated by talking and being in the frosty air.
If there are a number of respiratory symptoms (unproductive barking cough, hoarse voice, drying of the nasopharyngeal mucosa), dried sea sponge is used - another ingredient in stodal. Dry coughing, inflammation of the trachea, dry mucous membranes, and difficulty in nasal breathing are treated with pulmonary moss, which also has a place in the plant-animal “punch” of stodal.
The deliberate “naturalness” of the drug excludes clinically significant adverse reactions, which is often the “sin” of traditional antitussives of allopathic medicine.
At the Clinic of ENT Diseases of the Pediatric Faculty of the Russian State Medical University, a study was conducted on the effectiveness of Stodal in comparison with classical antitussive pharmacotherapy. Based on the results obtained, it was concluded that stodal can be successfully used as monotherapy to eliminate cough.
Regimen and frequency of dosing of the drug: 15 ml 3-5 times a day (adults), 5 ml 3-5 times a day (children). The required amount of syrup is measured using a cap. The duration of treatment is determined by the doctor
Please note that for every 15 ml of syrup there is 206 mg of ethanol. Stodal can be combined with other medications
How to take for adults
The syrup is suitable for treating colds at the very beginning. It will remove not only cough, but also fatigue and body aches. As a result, the disease is stopped at the very beginning.
Adults are recommended to drink 15 ml of syrup every 8 hours. If the cough is severe, you can take the drug 5 times a day. Treatment should be continued until symptoms disappear. If they do not go away for more than 7 days, you should contact a specialist and change the treatment regimen.
What analogues are there for children?

The first include:
