ALTE FORTE WITH HONEY contains a water macerate from marshmallow root, which has a soothing cough effect and protects the mucous membrane of the mouth and throat. This effect is related to the content of plant mucilage from the marshmallow root, the consistency of the preparation, and its viscosity. The mucilage of the marshmallow root creates colloidal solutions that cover the mucous membranes with a thin layer and have a protective effect on them. Additionally, the mucilage, acting as a protective agent on the changed, inflamed, hyperemic, and swollen mucous membrane of the throat, also soothes the cough reflex.
This is a medicinal product used traditionally in the indicated indications, and its effectiveness is based on long-term use and experience.
ALTE FORTE WITH HONEY is used traditionally as an auxiliary agent in symptoms of inflammatory conditions of the mouth and throat: hoarseness, cough, e.g., in the course of a cold.
Auxiliary in irritations and inflammatory conditions of the mucous membrane of the mouth and throat.
