[Therapy of bronchitis in childhood with Eprazinone (author's transl)]. / Behandlung von Bronchitiden bei Kindern mit Eprazinon.

ABSTRACT

This study should demonstrate the efficiency of a new bronchosecretolytic substance, Eprazinone, in therapy of acute and chronic bronchitis with children. The following groups of children have been treated 1) 10 children with acute bronchitis (aged 5-14 years); 2) 12 children with chronic bronchitis (aged 7-14 years). To objectivize the effect of the substance, exact laboratory- and check-up examinations have been done daily. The dose was 3 x 1 tablet/day for school children, for younger children 2 x 1 suppository daily. All children have been treated over 5-8 days. The results of the therapy with Eprazinone in both groups show that -Eprazinone is an efficient remedy to cure symptomatically chronic and acute bronchitis in children. It shows an excellent mucolytic activity.
