Principle of operation and efficiency

The principle of action of the remedy is based on the complex effect of 2 active ingredients on the mucous membranes of the throat. The tool has pronounced antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and anesthetic properties. This means that chlorhexidine affects pathogenic microorganisms that multiply on the mucous membranes, leading to their death.

As a result, the tissues are cleansed, the manifestations of the inflammatory process are eliminated, and the patient's condition improves. With an advanced form of the disease, there is a decrease in the risk of complications against the background of the spread of microbes to the lower parts of the respiratory system.

In addition, the anesthetic component leads to a significant reduction in pain when swallowing, which allows the patient to take food and liquids without significant discomfort. The local anesthetic effect lasts for several hours. Which is also considered a good indicator.

Additionally, the components of the composition prevent the intensive multiplication of microbes on the mucous membranes, which helps prevent the progression of the disease.

Chlorhexidine not only has antiseptic properties, it also helps to speed up tissue regeneration. The ingredient is active against most gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, which can provoke inflammation of the throat mucosa.

The substance has not only a bacteriostatic, but also a bactericidal effect, that is, it stops the growth and reproduction of microbes, disrupts metabolic processes in them, which leads to a gradual death. The severity of the bactericidal and bacteriostatic properties depends on the dosage and duration of the drug.

Tetracaine in the composition of the drug helps to eliminate acute pain in the first few days after the development of inflammation. As a result, the patient takes food and liquid without fear, which further stimulates blood circulation in the mucous membranes. The recovery period is shortened, there is a significant improvement already in the first few hours after using the tablets.

Ascorbic acid in the composition does not have a pronounced effect. But the ingredient has a positive effect on local immunity, makes the vessels of the mucous membrane of the throat more strong, prevents their fragility and is considered a good addition to the action of other active ingredients. The presence of this substance in the composition helps to prevent pronounced edema of the mucous membranes, which shortens the recovery period.

After resorption of the tablet, the main amount of active substances is localized in the throat. The agent is absorbed into the systemic circulation in a small amount. The ingredients are processed in the liver and can pass into breast milk and through the placental barrier. The main amount of the drug is excreted with the help of the kidneys, a small part is evacuated with feces.

In patients with scars on the mucous membrane of the throat, there is a slight decrease in the effectiveness of the medication. Regardless, treatments are prescribed to relieve pain.
