Means of plant origin. Marshmallow root contains plant mucus (up to 35%), asparagine, betaine, pectin, starch. It has an enveloping, emollient, expectorant, anti-inflammatory effect. Plant mucus covers the mucous membranes with a thin layer that stays on the surface for a long time and protects them from irritation. As a result, the inflammatory process is reduced and spontaneous tissue regeneration is facilitated. When exposed to the gastric mucosa, the protective effect of the film from plant mucus is the longer and more effective, the higher the acidity of the gastric juice (the viscosity of plant mucus increases when it comes in contact with hydrochloric acid).

Dosage: Children over 12 and adults: take 1-2 tablets by mouth before a meal 2-3 times per day for 1-2 weeks.For children it is possible to dissolve 1 tablet in ½ cup of warm water , also add some honey or sugar to hide the taste of the medicine.

Special conditions
