Produktbeschreibung

Herbal medicines with expectorant and antitussive action have an important role in therapy and are prescribed by doctors and recommended by pharmacists. The study was based on a questionnaire on the use of expectorant and antitussive syrups. This study included 128 pharmacists and 116 pharmacy technicians from 157 pharmacies operating in the Prishtina region. The answer format included multiple-choice questions, in which participants were asked to choose the most reasonable answer for them in the given list of options. 71.8% of pharmacists claim that naturally occurring syrups acting on the respiratory tract are prescribed by a doctor. Depending on the type of cough antitussive or expectorant prescribed by doctors, pharmacists claim that 82.8% expectorant syrups are prescribed, while 17.2% are antitussive. Syrups with antitussive or expectorant action for children are 100% recommended with plant extracts, and for adults 92.2% with plant extracts and with synthetic substances are recommended 7.8%. Reasons for recommending syrups with natural products by the pharmacist (71.4%) and pharmaceutical technician (81.9%) are due to few side effects.
