THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PHYTOTHERAPY IN THE TREATMENT OF COUGH IN PATIENTS WITH BRONCHOPULMONARY DISEASES
Abstract
This review article discusses methodological approaches to the rational use of herbal medicines for the treatment of respiratory diseases. The causes and mechanisms of cough are considered.. The mechanisms of action of phytopreparations are based on the results of modern pharmacological and pharmacognostic studies.
The purpose of the study: to analyze the features, benefits and side effects of medicinal products based on medicinal plants in comparison with synthetic drugs
Results. Literature analyses have shown that by interacting with other medicines, some herbal preparations may interact with traditional medicines, which may weaken their effect or enhance side effects. The need for standardization is also emphasized, as the quality of extracts can vary depending on the source, extraction method and storage, which makes it important to use standardized products to achieve stable results.
Conclusion. Attention is focused on the fact that phytotherapy can be a safe and effective alternative for patients with bronchial diseases, but requires a careful approach to use and a preliminary study of possible risks. This article will help the general practitioner to make a scientifically sound choice of phytopreparations among a wide range of bronchopulmonary products of plant origin.
