[Using amyzon in the treatment of patients with sore throat]
Abstract:
Presented in the paper is experience gained with the use of a new Ukrainian drug amyzon in treating angina. Administration of amyzon in adult patients with angina was noted to make for a quicker eradication of the infectious toxicosis syndrome and manifestations of local inflammation, normalization of the peripheral blood picture and indices for immunologic homeostasis. With amyzon complications develop less frequently. Angina patients when placed on amyzon tend to run a shorter course of their illness and achieve long-term clinical remission, which fact permits recommending its use in a complex therapy of angina in adult patients.

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics
Antitussives include codeine, dextromethorphan (Robitussin), and benzonatate (Tessalon). Codeine and dextromethorphan exert their effects centrally by suppressing the cough reflex center in the medulla. Benzonatate operates peripherally within the respiratory tract by anesthetizing...
