Abstract
The article deals with topical issues of secretolytic therapy for coughing in adults and children. Special attention is paid to modern herbal expectorants produced at high-tech pharmaceutical production, which has a certificate of GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice). Today these are well studied products containing extracts of thyme, primrose and ivy, the mechanisms of action of which are well studied in vivo and in vitro studies. Among these herbal medicines, one of the well studied is Bronchipret®. Its high clinical efficacy and good tolerability of treatment for adults and children is shown in large multicenter studies, including those performed according to the «gold standard» of evidence-based medicine, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled.
