While ivy is often cursed in the garden because it involves a lot of work, it is a welcome medicinal plant in medicinal medicine.
Ivy helps mainly in respiratory diseases such as acute cough. Unlike other cough remedies, products with ivy can be taken before going to bed, as it effectively relieves cough irritation and helps if you have trouble breathing at night due to a cold.
Fresh ivy leaves and their sap can cause allergic reactions, so it is advisable to always wear gloves when gardening. The unprocessed plant is poisonous, so you should buy ivy only as a ready product, such as PROSPAN cough syrup in a bottle in the pharmacy.

How do the ingredients of the medicine work?
The ingredients are derived from the ivy plant and act as a natural mixture. About the plant itself:
- Appearance: Creeping or climbing plant with dark green leaves that forms pea-sized, blue-black fruits in fall and winter.

The saponins contained in ivy are able to reduce the surface tension of the fluid covering the alveoli, similar to soap. Stagnant secretions are thus loosened and can be coughed up.
