Sinuphyl Boiron (or Sinupret Forte) is a herbal medicine for the natural treatment of colds. Available in our organic pharmacy, in boxes of 20 tablets.
Sinuphyl from the French laboratory Boiron works by deflating inflamed mucous membranes, dissolving thick mucus and unblocking blocked noses. It frees the paranasal sinuses and relieves pressure headaches. This combined action enables smoother breathing and rapid relief. Sinuphyl Boiron is an effective herbal solution for thick mucus and nasal congestion. It's a natural, herbal formulation that effectively combats acute, uncomplicated sinus inflammation.
The secret of Sinuphyl Boiron's effectiveness lies in a proven combination of five herbs. These are gentian, primrose, curled dock, elderberry and verbena.
Each component of Sinuphyl Boiron plays a specific, complementary role:
We recommend Boiron Coryzalia homeopathic medicine in single doses for children and infants aged 6 months and over, to treat cold symptoms.
Sinusitis is characterized by swelling of the mucous membranes of the paranasal sinuses and increased mucus production. Symptoms may include headaches, pressure pain, increased production of thick secretions, a blocked nose, impeded nasal breathing, a feeling of discomfort, and altered sense of taste and smell.
For adults and children aged 18 and over, the recommended dosage is one dragee three times a day. It can be taken with a little liquid (e.g. a glass of water), with or without meals. If you have a sensitive stomach, it is preferable to take it after a meal. The recommended duration of use is 7 to 14 days.
Directions for use : Take with a liquid (e.g. a glass of water).
Duration of use: Do not exceed 1 to 2 weeks' use without medical advice. If symptoms persist or recur regularly, consult your doctor.

Le sens médical strict de diarrhée est « émission de selles trop fréquentes et trop abondantes ». En fait, le sens commun assimile la diarrhée à la notion de selles liquides et fréquentes. Normalement, les selles sont pâteuses, mais l'émission de selles liquides ou à peine formées, sans douleur ou trouble particulier associé, n'est pas pathologique. On peut parler de diarrhée lorsque les émissions de selles liquides se répètent dans la journée, et que les besoins sont impérieux ou douloureux.
Beaucoup de médicaments peuvent accélérer le transit intestinal et rendre les selles plus liquides, sans que cet effet indésirable soit réellement préoccupant.
Les antibiotiques peuvent altérer la flore digestive, indispensable à la digestion, et provoquer des diarrhées plus ou moins gênantes mais bénignes. L'effet apparaît immédiatement ou après quelques jours de traitement. Une forme de diarrhée grave et exceptionnelle, la colite pseudomembraneuse, peut être observée après un traitement antibiotique ; cette affection se traduit par l'émission de glaires et de fausses membranes (ressemblant à des lambeaux de peau) associées à des douleurs abdominales ; une constipation peut remplacer la diarrhée initiale. La colite pseudomembraneuse peut survenir plusieurs jours après l'arrêt du traitement antibiotique et nécessite un avis médical urgent.

Le saccharose est la substance qui compose le sucre de cuisine et le sucre industriel que l'on retrouve dans les biscuits, les gâteaux, les sucreries et les boissons sucrées (une bouteille d'un litre et demi de soda contient l'équivalent de trente morceaux de sucre). Certaines personnes sont intolérantes au fructose issu de la digestion du saccharose et souffrent alors de ballonnements et de diarrhée. Certains médicaments contiennent du saccharose comme excipient (composant sans activité thérapeutique).
