Analogues are cheaper

Holisal has various substitutes, the price of which may be lower. Despite this, cheap analogs are not always allowed to be used, especially without a doctor's prescription. They can provoke complications and aggravation of the manifestations of the disease.

Maraslavin

A popular and effective substitute that contains other active ingredients. The main difference from the original is the release form, since the analog is available as a solution for topical use. The medicine contains ginger root, wormwood and thyme herb.

The components have not only anti-inflammatory, but also pronounced antiseptic, regenerating properties. When in contact with tissues, they destroy bacteria, cleanse the mucous membranes from the waste products of microorganisms. As a result, swelling and pain, redness are eliminated, and food intake is facilitated.

The natural composition makes the product relatively safe for patients. The drug has a mild effect on tissues, it is prescribed to patients with various diseases from the mucous membranes of the oral cavity. Usually, the remedy is used to diagnose gingivitis, stomatitis, periodontitis. Unlike the original, a substitute is not prescribed for patients under 14 years of age.

• The presence of purulent foci in the oral cavity, which gradually spread to large areas of the skin and provoke other complications.
• Allergy to the components of the medicinal solution.
• The period of gestation and breastfeeding.
• Acute viral lesions of the tissues of the oral cavity.
• Diseases of the patient's jaw bone tissue.

The drug is used in short and long courses, like the original. The specific duration of treatment depends on the disease. The agent is applied with a cotton swab to the affected areas 2 to 4 times a day.

Despite the herbal composition, it can provoke negative reactions from the tissues in the form of burning and itching. With prolonged use, complications occur more often, since sometimes treatment can be carried out within 2-3 months. The original cannot be used for such an extended period.

Rotokan

Cholisal (cheap analogs, the price of which depends on the manufacturer, often available in a different dosage form) is intended directly for the treatment of dental diseases. But its substitutes can have a broader spectrum of action. For example, the drug Rotokan has an antiseptic, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effect, but it is used for various diseases.

Unlike the original, the analog is available as an alcohol solution for external use. The composition also differs from Holisal, since the main components are calendula, chamomile and yarrow extracts. These herbal ingredients are considered to be very effective in combating various pathologies of inflammatory origin.

The tool is prescribed for diagnosing various diseases:

• Gingivitis and glossitis.
• Stomatitis is of bacterial origin.
• Catarrhal and ulcerative stomatitis.
• Periodontitis.
• Ulcerative colitis or stomach ulcer.
• Gastritis and gastroduodenitis.
• Pharyngitis, laryngitis.
• Angina.

Unlike the original, the analog can be used not only locally, but also internally, if necessary, as prescribed by a doctor. As a substitute, Rotokan solution is used topically to rinse the mouth. The treatment regimen assumes use within 10 days. The rinsing procedure is carried out 2-4 times a day, depending on the severity of the symptoms of the disease.

Atypical contraindications include craniocerebral trauma, chronic alcoholism and severe liver pathologies. The original for such violations is allowed to be used, since it does not penetrate into the systemic circulation.

Rotokan often leads to allergic reactions and some common complications such as headaches, heartburn and nausea. But such manifestations are usually observed when the solution is taken orally. Another difference of the drug is considered the impossibility of prescribing it for patients under 18 years of age, pregnant and lactating women.

Kamistad

Another popular analogue with similar properties. Like the original, it comes in the form of a gel for external use, but contains other ingredients in the composition. The analgesic effect is carried out due to the presence of lidocaine in the composition. The drug helps to quickly eliminate pain and prevents its reappearance for several hours after application.

Chamomile extract, which is also present in the composition as the main substance, provides an anti-inflammatory, pronounced antiseptic effect. Thanks to this, a complex effect on the tissues is provided, and the safety of the drug increases due to the presence of a herbal ingredient.

The medication is prescribed to patients with teething, in the case of diagnosing stomatitis and gingivitis with severe symptoms. Cheilitis and erythema of the lips are also considered an indication for prescribing a medication. Often, the gel is used for irritation of the mucous membranes as a result of wearing prostheses or installing implants, but the original is not used so often for such violations.

The drug therapy regimen involves applying the gel to the affected areas 3 times a day for 10-14 days. Depending on the severity of the symptoms of the disorder, therapy can be extended up to 3 weeks, but according to individual indications.

Unlike the original, the substitute can be used in the treatment of patients older than 3 months, but there are contraindications:

• Arterial hypertension in acute form with frequent deterioration.
• Heart failure.
• Severe bradycardia and cardiac arrhythmias.
• Severe renal and hepatic impairment.
• Intolerance of the constituents of the remedy.

The condition is accompanied not only by acute allergic symptoms, but also by respiratory arrest. Such a disorder occurs in the absence of help in the event of symptoms of an overdose.

Negative reactions also usually appear when instructions are violated, accompanied by itching, rash, redness of the skin, mucous membranes. The drug is considered as effective as the original, but additionally has more pronounced anesthetic properties.
