1. What Influcid is and what it is used for
Influcid is a homeopathic medicine for the treatment of colds and flu-like illnesses accompanied by fever.
Influcid is a combination of six well-proven individual homeopathic remedies, which is particularly suitable for the treatment of colds and flu diseases with sudden onset and rapid development. Aconitum is useful in the initial phases of acute infections of the respiratory tract, especially when they are accompanied by fever. The Bryonia component, which has an effect on dry bronchitis with a painful, irritating cough, also helps to effectively affect the common cold. Ipecacuanha (Ipecacuanha) causes the liquefaction of bronchial secretions and thus helps their disposal. Gelsemium is especially effective for colds, flu, sinusitis, accompanied by fatigue and tiredness, headache and body aches, as well as for sore throat and hoarseness. Phosphorus has a positive effect on the state of exhaustion, neuralgia and headache during acute and chronic respiratory diseases. In addition, it strengthens the immune system and thus speeds up the healing process. This combination is supplemented with Eupatorium perfoliatum (Eupatorium perfoliatum) - a remedy often used in homeopathy to treat colds and flu.
Thanks to its broad spectrum of action, Influcid has a quick and efficient effect on colds with fever, such as the flu. Influcid is also suitable for the prevention of viral infections.
