"Agri" (for children) is the cheapest drug for the treatment and prevention of acute respiratory viral infections and influenza. Those who trust homeopathy talk about the high effectiveness of this remedy. For parents seeking to limit the use of chemical drugs, homeopathic antigrippin becomes a constant item in a home medicine cabinet. Reviews about the drug are positive.
Rospotrebnadzor cites March 2018 statistics. Central Russia has overtaken a belated wave of SARS and influenza. The most vulnerable targets of a viral infection are children. New strains of influenza arise annually, vaccines for them are developed late, so vaccinations do not always save. It remains to maintain their own immunity in good shape - a task that homeopathic medicines solve quickly and efficiently.
Homeopathy - Features and Benefits
Treatment with natural remedies that are ingested in micro doses is called homeopathy. The homeopathic doctor, making an appointment, relies on a thorough examination of the patient, given:
- the patient's condition at the time of treatment;
- congenital features;
- concomitant diseases, etc.
Next, the reaction of the body to the composition of the drug is recorded in order to exclude individual intolerance. After that, you can build the main treatment regimen. Wherein:
- the harm caused by the introduction of a medicinal substance is reduced to a minimum;
- the administered agent mobilizes the strength of the immune system, allowing the patient to overcome the disease himself.
Is homeopathic medicine legal?
In Russia, a number of orders of the Ministry of Health are in effect, recognizing the advisability of using homeopathic remedies in the treatment of:
- No. 115 of 1991;
- No. 335 of 1995;
- No. 270 of 1996
Sale of "natural medicines" is allowed in pharmacies. In a number of state clinics, there are offices of homeopathic doctors.
A similar situation is developing in the world. Eighty countries practice homeopathic medicine officially. In seven European countries homeopathic treatment is covered by insurance.
Homeopathic Flu Protection
In the field of protection against influenza and SARS, homeopathy occupies an extensive sector of influence. Among the effective and inexpensive drugs "Agri" (for children) is the most famous. It is given to children from three years old. No side effects or overdoses have yet been identified, although the drug has existed in the pharmacology market for at least ten years. Admission strictly according to the instructions ensures a drop in temperature, a decrease in throat and nasal edema, and a decrease in acute headache.
The package is a cardboard box with two numbered bags - 1 and 2. Each bag contains ten grams of homeopathic granules of white color, they are sweet in taste. Children agree to take this medicine very willingly. The second version of the same drug is Agri tablets for children. There are two blisters in the package, numbered 1 and 2. The tablets have a neutral, only slightly sweet taste. The dosage regimen for granules and tablets is the same.
We use correctly!
The drug is used at the first signs of the disease. Only in this case can one really expect relief from the symptoms of the disease. At one time take 5 granules or 1 tablet. Neither swallow nor chew the drug. He must melt in his mouth. You can eat or drink in fifteen minutes, not earlier.
Feature of the reception of children's "Agri": the use of packages No. 1 and No. 2 is mandatory in the alternation mode. This periodically causes difficulty, that is, parents forget which package the granules were taken from last time. Therefore, it is convenient to use a clip or paper clip as a pointer, securing it from one or the other edge of the package. The same technique is relevant for tablets - the clip is attached to the first or second blister.
On the first and second day of illness, children's “Agri” is taken every thirty minutes if the child is not sleeping. A baby should not be awakened to take medication. The time interval between meals and the drug during this period also does not matter. In the following days, the use of granules is mandatory every two hours. An exception is a dream that cannot be interrupted.
"Agri" (for children): instructions for use
| Illness period | Frequency of medication | Time Between Meal and Medication |
| Day 1 | Every 30 minutes | Not compliant |
| Day 2 | Every 30 minutes | Not compliant |
| Day 3 and before recovery | Every 2 hours | 15 minutes after taking the medicine do not eat or drink |
When the child is actively recovering, the frequency of taking the medicine can be reduced to 3 -2 per day.
Prevention
Wise parents and doctors understand that the prevention of disease is always preferable to treatment. Therefore, healthy children should be given the drug if:
- sick family member;
- there are already sick children in the group or class of the child;
- have to go by public transport or visit a crowded place.
Five granules or one tablet in the morning on an empty stomach will protect the baby from external viral aggression. Packages (or blisters with tablets) No. 1 and No. 2 alternate daily.
Be carefull
Interestingly, the parents who compared both types of children's “Agri” had different reviews. Some argue that both versions of the drug are similar in effectiveness. According to others, tablet forms are inferior to granular ones. But it is more convenient to use pills than peas.
Each child is unique, the optimal drug has to be selected based on practical experience. The main thing is to carefully monitor the child's response to treatment. The instructions for use included in each package of the children's “Agri” contain an important note: if the child’s condition has not improved within 12-24 hours, a repeated call to the doctors is necessary.
Doctors War
Despite the many advantages, not every doctor will recommend a homeopathic remedy to a child who is ill during an epidemic. This is partly due to the fact that the patient’s condition requires close monitoring, which is not able to provide a district doctor overloaded with calls.
The second reason is the new official settings proposed by the domestic Academy of Sciences. In February 2017, a memorandum calling homeopathy a false science was published. Not all candidates and doctors of science have signed a conclusion on this issue, but the trend for the coming years promises to be sustainable.
For example, Olga Golodets, now working as Deputy Prime Minister D. Medvedev, considers the leading way to combat the incidence of influenza vaccination. Vaccination ensured a reduction in winter mortality from influenza to summer levels. This was announced at the board of Rospotrebnadzor in March 2018. The opinion of homeopaths, most of whom are against influenza vaccination, does not fit into this concept.
In the interest of the patient
Parents of sick children are increasingly weighing the volumes of expensive vaccines and chemical drugs offered by pharmacies and clinics. Fortunately, children's “Agri” and others are not very expensive, but effective homeopathic remedies are still on sale. A lot of thinking, conscientious doctors make decisions about helping a sick child, based on facts, statistics and common sense, and not on the interests of the magnates of pharmacology.
