Principle of operation and efficiency

The drug has antiseptic and antimicrobial properties, which makes it possible to use it for the treatment of pathologies of inflammatory origin. The principle of action of the drug is based on the ability of plant extracts to destroy bacteria that multiply on the mucous membranes of the throat and oral cavity. The complex effect of the components of the composition on the tissues helps to eliminate the acute signs of various inflammatory pathologies.

Each ingredient has a specific effect on the tissue:

• Calendula is considered a good natural antiseptic, it helps not only to destroy various bacteria, but also has a positive effect on the condition of tissues. The anti-inflammatory properties of the plant enhance the effectiveness of the remedy, and the mild effect on the tissues prevents the development of complications.
  
• Chamomile extractand also belongs to natural antiseptics with high efficiency. The component gently eliminates pain, destroys microbes, while not having a negative effect on local defenses, does not weaken them and does not provoke complications, even with prolonged application. The herbal ingredient helps to speed up the process of tissue repair, which shortens the recovery period and prevents the progression of the pathological condition.
• Yarrow enhances the effectiveness of therapy, has regenerating and anti-inflammatory properties. Its presence in the composition helps to mitigate the effect of the drug and prevents the development of allergic manifestations.

The action of the components of the composition on the tissues helps to improve the condition in the chronic or acute course of the pathological condition. The drug is well tolerated by patients, quickly relieves, and can be used in combination with other therapies. With its use, the elimination of acute symptoms is noted within a few days after the start of treatment.

The ingredients of the composition also help to improve local immune forces. When rinsing, bacteria are removed from the fabrics, but the process of repairing the affected areas is started. In the inflammatory process, damage to the outer layer of the mucous membranes is noted, which leads to the appearance of puffiness, pain, and accompanying deviations. This effect of the remedy helps to alleviate the condition of patients, even with a severe course of the disorder and the presence of concomitant abnormalities in patients.

Rotokan is used primarily for gargling when symptoms of inflammation appear. It is better to dilute the product after first consulting a doctor. When used only for the treatment of the throat, there is no accumulation of the components of the composition in the blood and tissues, since the drug in a minimum amount enters the systemic circulation.

Despite this, the presence of large lesions on the tissues can lead to the absorption of more ingredients into the bloodstream. The maximum concentration of ingredients in the blood with prolonged use is achieved after 2 days. In this case, the ingredients are quickly excreted by the kidneys.
