Babix-Inhalat N, 10 ml

For diseases of the upper respiratory tract, eg colds, bronchitis, pseudocroup.

Inhalant for infants, children and adults

Babix-Inhalat N are drops for inhalation by evaporation for the treatment of respiratory diseases with viscous mucus. The drug was specially developed for infants, but can also be used in children and adults.

Babix-Inhalat N is a combination of two essential oils:

• Eucalyptus oil has an anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and expectorant effect and can thus make it easier to cough up bronchial mucus.
• Spruce needle oil has an expectorant effect, promotes expectoration of secretions and has an antispasmodic effect in the bronchial area.

Application:

Drizzle 2 - 4 drops of Babix-Inhalat N onto a piece of clothing close to the nose (e.g. bib, scarf, pajama collar or cuddly toy for babies). Repeat every 3-4 hours if necessary.

The essential oils evaporate, are inhaled and enter the organism via the mucous membranes.

Note: The medicine should not be applied near the respiratory tract in infants and children, but only on clothing or bed linen.

- Colds of the respiratory tract, especially with thick mucus.

The total dose should not be exceeded without consulting a doctor or pharmacist.

  • Very common: more than 1 in 10 people treated
  • Common: less than 1 in 10 but more than 1 in 100 people treated
  • Uncommon: less than 1 in 100 but more than 1 in 1000 people treated

• Hypersensitivity reactions to heart palpitations (tachycardia), reduced respiratory drive (respiratory depression) and a tendency to convulsions have become known, particularly in infants and small children.
• In rare cases, inhalation of concentrated vapors of essential oils in infants and young children causes respiratory arrest, presumably as a result of glottal spasms.

interactions

• When taking the preparation with other medicines:

  • Before treatment with the preparation, a doctor should be consulted if other medicines are already being used, as interactions are possible.

Contraindications

• The medicine must not be used
  • in patients with bronchial asthma or other respiratory diseases associated with marked hypersensitivity of the airways. Inhaling the preparation can cause shortness of breath or trigger an asthma attack.
  • if you are hypersensitive (allergic) to eucalyptus oil or pine oil.

pregnancy and breast feeding period

• The medicine should not be used during pregnancy and lactation due to insufficient examinations. It should be noted that use in women of childbearing potential who are not using contraception must also be carefully considered due to the risk of early pregnancy.
• Due to the fat-soluble properties of the active ingredients, a transfer into breast milk is to be expected, but no studies are available on this. Essential oils can change the taste of the milk and cause drinking problems.
