Ingredients(100 ml): Standardized dry extract from ivy leaves (Hederae helicis folia extractum siccum 5:1) 0.7 g. Extraction agent: ethanol 30% (w/w). Excipients: liquid crystallizing sorbitol, potassium sorbate, anhydrous citric acid, xanthan, cherry flavor, purified water. This medicine is sugar-free.
IndicationsProspan is recommended as a supplement for acute and chronic inflammations of the respiratory tract with cough, as it liquefies bronchial secretions and facilitates breathing.
EffectProspan syrup acts in three ways against cough:
- It liquefies thick mucus and makes it easier to cough up.
- It reduces the tension of the bronchial muscles.
- It relieves the urge to cough.
Thanks to the effects described above, Prospan® can be used for both productive and unproductive cough (“dry” and “wet” cough). Prospan:
- Contains dried ivy leaf extract with proven and documented efficacy.
- Can be combined with other medications (e.g., antibiotics or painkillers).
- Available as syrup and drops.
- Sugar-free – suitable for diabetics.
- Alcohol-free.
- No artificial colorants.
- For children and adults.
DosageAdults and children over 10 years: take 5 ml syrup 3 times daily. If necessary, the dose for adults can be increased to 7.5 ml syrup 3 times daily. Children 6–9 years: take 5 ml syrup 3 times daily. Children 1–5 years: take 2.5 ml syrup 3 times daily. For children under 1 year, consult a doctor.
ContraindicationsThis medicine must not be used if you are hypersensitive to any of the ingredients.
Side effectsAllergic reactions such as shortness of breath, swelling, redness, and itching of the skin may very rarely occur after taking medicines with ivy extract. Sensitive individuals may experience gastrointestinal complaints such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and a laxative effect due to the sorbitol content.
