Many ingredients found in cough and cold preparations are being banned in the EU due to their potential interaction with other medicines and their possible side effects.  Pseudo-ephedrine, epinephrine and codeine all form part of the above mentioned.

Altacura syrups are products based on propolis that form part of the natural defence range by Alta Care Laboratoires with no banned substances.

The main active ingredient of the Altacura Syrups is Propolis.  Propolis is a sticky substance used by the bees to disinfect their hives.  Propolis has been found to be very effective in the prevention and treatment of colds because apart from being antibacterial, it is also antiviral and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.  Propolis is a powerful immune booster and helps your body to protect itself against illness. Because of these biological properties, propolis has been shown to have an outstanding value for mankind; it is in fact becoming the most popular substance worldwide to compliment and supplement people suffering from colds.

Altacura Influtuss and Altacura Broncotuss also contain Thyme, which helps to sooth cough sufferers, and high doses of Vitamin C.
