Yoks-Teva throat spray. Instructions for use, price, reviews

Yoks-Teva is an antiseptic for the treatment of throat pathologies. The spray is used not only for the purpose of treatment, but also for the prevention of the development of complications in a severe course of a pathological condition. The drug is active against many microbes and can be used in combination with other medicines.

Release form

The pharmacological agent is produced in the form of a topical spray. It is a solution with a specific aroma, packaged in small containers of 30 ml, equipped with a special spray for ease of processing. The vials are placed in cardboard boxes, in which you can also find a description indicating the features of the application, possible complications arising from therapy.

Chemical composition

The topical solution contains several active ingredients that provide a therapeutic effect. The main substance is povidone iodine, but allantoin and propylene glycol are also considered active ingredients.

The substances have an effect on tissues when applied topically. There are no other ingredients in the solution, which is considered an advantage over many products with synthetic excipients.

Pharmacological properties

Yoks-Teva is a throat spray with pronounced antiseptic properties. The drug destroys pathogenic bacteria that provoke an inflammatory process in the mucous membranes of the throat.

The medicine also prevents the progression of the disease, the spread of the lesion to the lower respiratory tract, and the development of complications. The complex effect of substances on tissues allows the use of the drug in acute and subacute course of the disease to alleviate the patient's condition.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

When the solution enters the affected tissues, it quickly spreads over large areas and provides a therapeutic effect. The ingredients of the composition destroy the outer shell of pathogenic bacteria, which leads to their rapid death and the cleansing of tissues from the waste products of microorganisms.

The medicine eliminates the signs of inflammation, since the multiplication of bacteria and their vital activity will certainly provoke tissue damage.

The drug has a complex effect on tissues:

• Helps eliminate swelling and redness. Such symptoms often bother patients with the development of an inflammatory disease.
• Prevents the spread of inflammation to healthy tissues and the ingress of bacteria into the lower respiratory tract. As a result of the lack of therapy, other diseases often develop, provoked by microorganisms that live on the mucous membrane of the throat.
• Helps to shorten the recovery period, even in the chronic course of the pathological condition.

The drug is absorbed in a minimal amount into the systemic circulation when applied topically. The presence of lesions on the mucous membranes increases the level of the ingredients in the blood. Minimal systemic absorption reduces the likelihood of complications. Active substances act only locally. The first result is noted in 1-2 days, but a pronounced effect is observed only after completing a full course.

When the drug enters the bloodstream through the mucous membranes of the throat or digestive tract, the components do not accumulate in the body. Substances, when released into the blood, are processed in the liver, after which the products of their decay are evacuated with the help of the kidneys. Pharmacokinetic features may differ depending on the therapy regimen and duration of use.

Indications for use

Yoks-Teva is prescribed mainly for upper respiratory tract infections.

Throat spray has indications for use:

Contraindications

The drug has contraindications, despite local exposure and minimal systemic absorption. The main obstacle is considered to be an allergy to any ingredient of the composition or a tendency to such reactions in the patient's history.

Doctors identify other barriers to treatment:

• Increased levels of thyroid hormones in the blood. The drug is not used for hyperthyroidism, since the course of pathology in this case significantly worsens. This is due to the presence of iodine in the composition of the product.

Damage area	Frequent negative reactions
Mucous membranes	From the side of the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat, complications appear quite often. Patients experience tissue edema, redness, and sensitivity. Eating food and even liquids is difficult when these symptoms appear. Patients report pain, which also makes the condition worse. Over the course of several days, the symptoms can worsen, which leads to systemic disorders against the background of dehydration and lack of food.
Skin	With the development of an allergic reaction, patients develop complications not only from the mucous membranes, but also from the skin of the face. Rashes may appear on the skin, which gradually spread to large areas, limbs, and the skin of the trunk. The condition is aggravated by severe itching, which worsens the condition and forces the patient to scratch the affected area. Such symptoms are especially difficult for children, since they cannot control their actions, they comb the affected areas, increasing the likelihood of tissue infection.
Nervous system	Complications from the nervous system usually appear against the background of local systemic reactions. Patients report headaches, dizziness, weakness and fatigue, poor sleep, and decreased performance. After the elimination of local symptoms, complications from the nervous system gradually disappear.
Digestive organs	The digestive organs also suffer against the background of the appearance of local reactions. Patients may experience nausea and vomiting, upset stools, and abdominal pain. Many also talk about flatulence and bloating, dryness of the mucous membranes of the mouth, constant thirst.

The emergence of complications and their rapid progression is considered a reason for discontinuing therapy and visiting a doctor. Sometimes it is necessary to prescribe medications to improve the condition, but in most cases, the manifestations disappear on their own after the cancellation of therapy.

Overdose

With prolonged use of the drug, an overdose does not develop, since systemic absorption is minimal, and when the components enter the blood, they do not accumulate in the body.

Despite this, doctors cannot rule out the likelihood of developing such a complication when used for long courses and at higher dosages. If symptoms of an overdose occur, the patient's general condition worsens, there is a severe headache, repeated vomiting during the day, and frequent loose stools.
