Indicated for: productive cough; expectoration
Route of administration: nasal
Substance: ephedrine + camphor + eucalyptus oil + peppermint oil + fennel oil + lemon oil + chlorobutanol (vasopressor + expectorant)
ATC: R01AX30 (Respiratory system | Decongestants and other nasal preparations for topical use | Other nasal preparations)
This combination of substances is primarily used to relieve respiratory symptoms such as nasal congestion and cough. The active ingredients, including ephedrine, camphor, and essential oils, have decongestant, soothing, and antiseptic properties.
Ephedrine helps open the airways by relaxing the muscles in the walls of the bronchi, while camphor and essential oils like eucalyptus oil and peppermint oil provide a cooling sensation and reduce inflammation.
This combination is generally well-tolerated but may cause side effects such as local irritation, dizziness, or, in rare cases, allergic reactions. It is important to avoid excessive use to prevent side effects.
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before use, especially if you have pre-existing conditions such as high blood pressure or asthma, as ephedrine may worsen these conditions.
