Hello, Natalia.
SARS is not treated with antibiotics.
As for Bronchomunal, it is classified as a drug with unproven efficacy, which means that there will be no effect from it in any case. You need to take Euthyrox in the same way as you took it before - it is much more important for the body.
If you insist on taking Bronchomunal, consult your endocrinologist about this.


Hope, thanks for your reply! I've been sick for 2 weeks now. First treated antiviral agent. But it only got worse. Now I'm on my second antibiotic because the first one didn't work. It got better, but the cough remained. "Bronchomunal" was prescribed by a friend for prevention and the effect of it was, that's why I bought it when the doctor advised me to. And you will not tell me what other means are there for the prevention of recurrent infections of the respiratory tract, in addition to Bronchomunal only with proven effectiveness? I have every cold ends strong cough with stubborn sputum. Even expectorants such as ACC and Ambrobene do not help.

Good afternoon.

Hello. Tell me, please, such a question. The doctor prescribed bronchomunal 1 tablet 2 times a day for 10 days. Could the doctor be mistaken, because the instructions indicate 1 tablet per day?
Thank you in advance for your response


Hello. The doctor could be mistaken, but she could prescribe such a dose and quite consciously. The instructions always state average dose the doctor can correct it. What exactly happened in your case, you better ask your doctor.

In our time, it is difficult to find mothers of children under 12 years old who would not have heard about the drug "Bronchomunal" - from friends, conversations in clinics, in transport, pharmacies, on parent forums on the Internet - most mothers have heard at least one mention of this drug. Some parents learned about bronchomunal from doctors: some were advised, others were prescribed a course of treatment. And very few parents have sufficient knowledge about this drug, and therefore the questions constantly arise: is it a medicine or a vaccine, what does it give, what does it treat and what does it affect, when to give, what is the effectiveness. So, let's try to answer these questions.

Vaccine (vaccination) or medicine?

Practically both. Bronchomunal stimulates the body so that it can better fight pathogens. Thus, the effect of bronchomunal is similar to the effect of vaccination, but milder than vaccination, since it does not create immunity, but stimulates the immune system. Bronchomunal is one of a number of immunotropic drugs of bacterial origin. The mechanism of action of these drugs is close to vaccines, so they are sometimes even called “therapeutic” vaccines.

Unlike vaccines that contain live attenuated bacteria, Bronchomunal contains only lyophilized lysates of a complex of 8 bacteria, which most often causing infections respiratory tract: streptococci (Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae), green and Staphylococcus aureus(Staphylococcus viridans, Staphylococcus aureus), hemophilus influenzae (Haemophilus influenzae), Klebsiella (Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella ozaenae), Moraxella (Moraxella catarrhalis). Also, the drug also contains auxiliary components: propyl gallate, monosodium glutamate (anhydrous), mannitol, magnesium stearate, maize starch.

The action of Bronchomunal is quite narrowly focused - stimulating the body's own defense mechanisms in the fight against respiratory tract infections (upper and lower) that cause infectious diseases such as acute respiratory infections, acute respiratory viral infections, bronchitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, rhinitis, laryngitis, sinusitis, otitis media. The drug also activates the overall immune response to exposure to these pathogens. Thanks to this "excitation" of one's own immunity, the frequency, duration and severity of diseases are reduced, and, consequently, the need for the use of antibiotics and other drugs. An important advantage of the drug is that you need to drink it once a day - before sending the child to kindergarten- "swallowed" and all.

What does bronchomunal give, what does it heal, what does it affect?

Firstly, based on the properties of the bacteria lysates included in the bronchomunal, the drug is a kind of drug that acts not on the body as a whole, but on a limited local space - in the nasopharynx, - increasing local immunity, teasing him. Bronchomunal makes him be on full alert and actively fight infections.

It is useful for adults, but especially for children. High susceptibility in four-year-olds (and younger) to acute respiratory viral infections is primarily due to immaturity immune system, and most importantly - the lack of immunological memory. After 5 years, antibodies appear all to more viruses, which leads to a decrease in the incidence. The immature children's immune system, so to speak, does not have enough "experience" in fighting pathogens, and therefore it does not always have time and "remembers how" to adequately respond and successfully protect the young owner from such habitual infections, causing diseases respiratory tract. Therefore, in children, these infections often result in diseases that are more difficult and longer to cure.

Immunostimulants are a very useful tool in the struggle of parents with the soreness of their children.

But, of course, precisely because we are talking about the "immature" children's immune system, the decision to use any immunomodulator, including bronchomunal, should be made jointly with the attending physician, and even better - after consultation with an immunologist and immunological examination. Moreover, a blood test for immunity should be repeated after the treatment.

Bronchomunal - for children or for adults?

Bronchomunal is available in packs of 10 capsules (blisters). Capsules are opaque, blue tone with the inscription "BronchoMunal" contain finely granular free-flowing powder of white to slightly beige color.

What is the difference between the so-called "Bronchomunal for adults" and "Bronchomunal for children"?

The answer is simple: exclusively by the amount of bacterial lysate contained in the capsule.

"Children's" Bronchomunal P (pediatric, children from 6 months to 12 years old) - contains 3.5 mg of lyophilized bacterial lysate in 1 capsule; "adult" Bronchomunal (children over 12 years old and adults) - 7 mg of lyophilized bacteria lysate in 1 capsule.

But the choice for what age to use what dosage remains with the doctor.

Children aged 6 months up to 12 years of age, Bronchomunal P is usually prescribed in the same way as for adults. The drug is taken in the morning on an empty stomach, 1 capsule per day. If the child cannot swallow the capsule, it can be opened and the contents dissolved in a small amount of tea, milk or juice.

When to start prophylactic use of bronchomunal?

One of the best domestic pediatricians Evgeny Komarovsky, in order to strengthen the child's immunity, recommends taking bronchomunal according to a special scheme. Scheme preventive use the drug is simple: drink one capsule on an empty stomach daily for 10 days, and then 20 days of “rest” (the drug is not taken). Then again 10 days for one capsule and 20 days of rest. And the third time for 10 days we drink 1 capsule. It is advisable to start therapy every month on the same day.

Maximum effective prevention will be if during these three months the child does not get sick with colds and infectious diseases. Of course, it is most realistic to observe such a regimen in the warm season: May - September - at this time, children rarely get sick, and, according to a number of pediatricians, if acute respiratory infections occur between doses, it's also okay. Since bronchomunal has a cumulative effect and its course should ensure the creation of immune memory, it is better to start prophylactic administration no later than July.

But before starting a preventive course, you should assess the condition of the child. If he is very weakened after an illness, he will not form a response immune response neither for bronchomunal, nor for vaccination. Therefore, after serious illnesses respiratory tract, it is worth starting a prophylactic course of bronchomunal not earlier than 2 months after recovery. If the child is actively behaving, eating with appetite, body temperature is normal, then taking bronchomunal is fully justified.

A three-month course of bronchomunal as a preventive measure is best done every year. It should be remembered that if the child was vaccinated (vaccinated), then start giving bronchomunal should not be earlier than 4 weeks (28-30 days) after the introduction of the vaccine.

According to what scheme is bronchomunal used for the treatment of acute diseases?

In choosing a specific regimen for taking bronchomunal, it is better to rely on the decision of the attending physician. Often there is the same use as in the case of prevention - 10 days for 1 capsule, 20 days off, then 2 more times for 10 days of admission and 20 days of rest.

The first course can also be prescribed for 30 days, 1 capsule per day, depending on the decision of the doctor, taking into account the severity of the disease, its course and the state of the body. In parallel with the bronchomunal, the doctor may prescribe antibiotics or other medications.

What are the restrictions in the use of bronchomunal?

Like any other drug, bronchomunal can cause unwanted effects. In the entire history of the use of the drug, these were rarely recorded.

There have been isolated cases of fever, violations of the gastrointestinal tract: stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea (upset), vomiting. If these symptoms are mild, it is not necessary to stop taking the drug.

Possible manifestations of hypersensitivity to the drug - allergic reactions, allergic skin reactions, skin rash. If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, it is recommended to stop taking bronchomunal.

In the presence of hypersensitivity to the components of the bronchomunal (including non-bacterial ones), it is contraindicated to use it.

Since the safety of bronchomunal during pregnancy and lactation has not been studied, it should not be used during these periods, and especially in the first trimester of pregnancy. There are also no data from studies regarding the transfer of the drug to an infant with breast milk mother during.

The drug, which is stored at a temperature lower than + 25°C, is suitable for use within 5 years from the date of manufacture. Naturally, it should be kept out of the reach of children. If the storage conditions have not been met or the date of manufacture is earlier than 5 years before use, it is better to buy a new package.

Are there substitutes for bronchomunal?

And a few words about drugs similar in their action to bronchomunal.

According to the ENT department of the Children's diagnostic center Petersburg, there is no fundamentally big difference between bronchomunal, bronchovacsome and. All these drugs are immunomodulators, made on the basis of microbial preparations- bacterial lysates (Bronchomunal and Bronchovaxom.) or bacterial ribosomes (Ribomunil), and are approved for use by the Ministry of Health.

All three drugs are used both for the purpose of prevention and for treatment in combination with other medical preparations(including antibiotics). Bronchomunal, Bronchovax and Ribomunil act on the immune system similarly to vaccines, enhance immunity against infectious diseases of the respiratory tract, increase the body's resistance to infections and develop immune memory.

Despite the fundamental similarity of these drugs, the choice of an immunomodulator for a particular child must be carried out together with the attending physician, and even better on the basis of consultation with an immunologist.

The drug has an effect on the human body, similar to vaccines.

After taking a dose of lysate of bacteria that can cause respiratory infections, the body responds by producing specific antibodies. As a result, they receive strong immunity against these pathogens, preventing the disease and greatly facilitating its course. Broncho-munal is able to activate cellular and humoral . At the same time, the activity of phagocytosis and macrophages increases at the cellular level. It helps to enhance oxygen, nitric oxide and superoxide synthesis, which destroy microbes inside the body.

In addition, the production of interleukin-2 and other cytokines increases, the activity of B- and T-lymphocytes is stimulated, and their efficiency increases. The expression of adhesive molecules on neutrophils and monocytes is enhanced, improving cell migration to the site of inflammation. The number rises IgA antibodies, IgM, IgG in serum and other physiological fluids, due to which humoral immunity is significantly activated.

The effect of bacterial lysate on the body is through Peyer's patches located on the walls of the gastrointestinal mucosa.

The principle of operation of the capsules is almost identical to the specific vaccine. After the necessary amount of bacteria, which are direct provocateurs of the onset of an infectious disease, enters the patient's body, the production of its own antibodies occurs.
