Ascoril - a drug that has expectorant effect and dilates the bronchi. Furthermore, it protects the broncho-pulmonary system from various adverse effects. But it is an effective drug that has a number of side effects, so it can be used only on prescription.

Ascoril available in tablets and in bottles of syrup Ascoril expectorant. The structure ASKOR includes three drugs, mutually reinforcing each other's action.

Composition ASKOR

• Salbutamol - a drug that has the action adrenalin. Crank called the stress hormone How to beat stress? Create an oasis As under the influence of his body is in "full alert": blood vessels constrict, blood pressure rises, the heart begins to contract more often bronchial tubes expand in order to enable them to serve more oxygen. For lung diseases is only the last property - bronchiectasis. For therapeutic doses of this medication does not usually cause palpitations and high blood pressure. But in overdose and in patients with diseases of the cardiovascular system of its action may be unpredictable.
• Bromhexine - a tool that liquefies phlegm and strengthens the process of elimination. But the main positive effect on the state of bromhexine bronchopulmonary system is that it produces a surfactant - a complex composition of a substance which film covers both the walls of the alveoli and prevents them stick together. In the absence or deficiency of surfactant occurs lung atelectasis, ie the alveoli are fallen down, but can not deal, and the affected area of ​​the lung tissue ceases to participate in the act of breathing.
• Gvayfenezin - a drug that has expectorant properties and thinning reduces the surface tension of sputum. It facilitates expectoration and expectoration by stimulating the motor activity of the bronchi. In addition, this drug has an effect on the central nervous system, causing a calming effect, removing the spleen Irritability - you try to control my temper , Anxiety and fear. In applying the drug in urine can be colored pink.
• Additionally composed ASKOR included menthol, which has a light antiseptic properties and has expectorant and light spasmolytic properties.

The joint action of all the components ASKOR reinforce each other, which creates such unique properties ASKOR as simultaneous removal of bronchospasm, liquefaction and active removal of phlegm, protecting the lung tissue from exposure to infectious agents and toxic products of their life.

Recommendations for Admission ASKOR

Ascoril recommended to take in the event that the patient, for whatever reason, can not cough, while the broncho-pulmonary system had accumulated a sufficient amount of sputum. It occurs when the tendency to spasm of the bronchi, and the presence of highly viscous mucus, which because of its density can not move on the bronchi. In this case, under the ASKOR liquefies phlegm and contractile movement of the bronchi increase its excretion.

Used Ascoril and bronchiectasis - chronic purulent-inflammatory diseases characterized by the expansion of the small airways in the form of small bags in which the accumulated pus. In this case, under the influence of the bronchi ASKOR better cleared of congestive purulent sputum.

Ascoril and found application in the treatment of severe diseases such as occupational lung disease (pneumoconiosis) and tuberculosis Tuberculosis - a full recovery is not guaranteed .

Complications reception ASKOR

If Ascoril be used for other purposes, it can cause severe complications. For example, if a lot of liquid in the lung sputum, upon receiving ASKOR its quantity starts to increase rapidly and fill his lungs. Especially dangerous is this situation in children. That is why Ascoril sold in pharmacies by prescription only.

Side effects ASKOR

Ascoril can also have side effects. Its constituent salbutamol may cause bouts of palpitations, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, so Ascoril not be taken in patients with a variety of severe lesions of the cardiovascular system, as well as endocrine diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels, for example, with increased function of the thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism).

Guaifenesin may affect the central nervous system causing dizziness, headache, drowsiness. It also actively affect the condition of the gastrointestinal tract, causing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain Abdominal pain: Types and Symptoms .

Tablet ASKOR allowed to assign children with only six years of age. Up to six years to designate Ascoril expectorant.

Ascoril - an effective tool for the treatment of bronchopulmonary diseases under the supervision of a physician.

The maxillary sinuses are located in the head region in the vicinity of the eye sockets (they are separated by only a thin bone sockets partition) and brain. With all the organs located in the head region, maxillary sinuses associated circulatory and lymphatic system. Therefore, the inflammatory process can always pass away on the brain, the organs of vision, hearing, and so on.

Why can begin complications of sinusitis

Most sinusitis no complications as the body's defenses (immune system) does not allow the infection to spread. However, complications can occur, and they are in the absence of timely adequate therapy for acute sinusitis Acute sinusitis - occurs as the inflammatory process   against the background of reduced immunity. Such a situation may arise, for example, if complicated sinusitis during viral infection, weakening the body. The infection can spread to other organs either directly through the affected tissues or through blood vessels.

But more often there are complications in chronic sinusitis Chronic sinusitis - the effect on health As well as any long flowing inflammatory process leads to disruption of the immune system. Toxic effects on the autonomic nervous system can lead to the disruption of the internal organs, which it innervates, and especially the cardiovascular system. Because of the constant focus of infection can spread through the blood to distant organs, causing infectious and allergic processes, for example, myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle), rheumatism and so on.

Complications of the organs of vision

The body of (the eyeball, together with its appendages - the muscles, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels, the lacrimal gland) is located in the orbit or orbit - a bone in the skull cavity. From orbit sinus separates only a thin bony septum, so the infection in the sinus can go to the organ of vision in the local spread of the inflammatory process.

There may be various complications of the organ of vision: from the jet (friendly, in response to an inflammatory process in the adjacent body) tissue edema of the orbit and eyelids to inflammatory processes in soft tissue and bony walls of the orbit and its vein thrombosis. In recent years, the number of complications in the orbit of the eye in sinusitis increases by reducing the sensitivity of the pathogens to antibiotics. In addition, the percent of sinusitis caused by viral and fungal pathogens which often provide local complications.

Very often local complications develop sinusitis in children, which is characterized by inadequate general and local immunity. When purulent sinusitis Purulent sinusitis - how to prevent the disease   in violation of the outflow of fluid from the inflammation of the maxillary sinus infection risk transfer orbit is greatly increased. The infection can pass both by contact and through small blood vessels, causing catarrhal (purulent) or purulent inflammation of soft tissues and bones of the eye socket.

At the same time there are redness and swelling of the eyelids, pain with pressure on the eye socket, limited mobility or protrusion of the eyeball, visual disturbances associated with optic neuritis. If there is festering, the temperature may be low, and the general condition of the patient is not disturbed. At purulent processes in the area of ​​the orbit the patient's condition can be extremely difficult, with very high fever, vomiting, impaired consciousness.

Local complications of other organs

Infection of the maxillary sinus can go on the organ of hearing, which is also located in the neighborhood. Most often in this case, the inflammation of the middle ear (otitis media). Otitis as a complication of sinusitis is prolonged, difficult to treat and is accompanied by hearing loss. When purulent otitis high fever, the patient's condition deteriorates. But often these occur otitis erased without pronounced symptoms.

It may also develop osteomyelitis (inflammation of bone tissue) of the upper jaw, which has symptoms similar to the symptoms of purulent lesions of the orbit. Condition in this case can be very difficult.

Local complications include optic neuritis of the trigeminal nerve and flowing with severe pain and difficult to treat

Intracranial complications of sinusitis

Such complications are rare. They can also be purulent and purulent (catarrhal). This swelling of the meninges caused by infectious process, serous or purulent meningitis Meningitis - an inflammation of the meninges , Meningoencephalitis, an inflammation of the veins (phlebitis), the dura mater with the development of sepsis and brain abscess.

Such complications are manifested by a sharp rise in temperature, severe headache, vomiting, stiff (voltage) neck, impaired consciousness.

Sinusitis must be diagnosed and treated in time, otherwise it may give many complications.
