One of thepressing issues facing the sciencetists of pharmacy field in medicine is the preparation of complex syrups rich in a of biologically active substances for the treatment of the immune system diseases. In recent years, Echinacea-based drugs have been successfully used in the immune system regulation. Especially in pediatric practice, Echinacea-based syrups are used as an optimal medicine. These remedy forms, namely syrups, are characterized by a high rate of absorption and excretionof the drug, affordability, painless administration and accurate dosing. At present, the main taste regulated oral liquid medicines are syrups. Taking into account the expected advantages of Echinacea syrup, we decided to conduct research in this field.We have developed a formula for obtaining a drug rich in healing substances based on Еchinacea using the following technology. First, echinacea roots were crushed and its extract obtained. Then the required amount of extractant was prepared in two versions: sucrose(saccharose ) solution and separately - sorbitol solution. The required amount of Еchinacea extract was kept in a solution of saccharose and sorbitol. This allowed us to obtain 2 kind of syrups simultaneously: one for consumption by wide population (saccharose-based), the other one - sorbitol-based syrup for patients with glucose intolerance. The standardization indicators of both syrups, determined according to the State Pharmacopoeia, corresponded to the required standards.
