Other substances act as auxiliary ingredients in the composition:

• Gum.
• Lactose.
• Sodium saccharinate.
• Vanillin.
• Magnesium stearate.

Additional components are necessary to impart aroma and taste to the medicine, they do not have medicinal properties.

Operating principle

Lizobact for sore throat (reviews of the remedy are mostly positive) is considered a fairly effective remedy. Its principle of action is based on the effect of active ingredients on the tissues of the throat and mouth.

The tool has pronounced local antiseptic properties due to the presence of lysozyme in the composition of the active substance. The component not only destroys various bacteria, but also increases local defenses, which has a beneficial effect on the condition, helps to shorten the recovery period.

The substance stimulates the process of tissue repair, and also improves the general condition, which prevents the development of complications from the nervous system and other internal organs. The presence of pyridoxine in the composition enhances the activity of the drug and increases its effectiveness.

The drug also has other properties:

• Creates a protective film on the mucous membranes, which destroys microbes, and also prevents their rapid multiplication and spread to healthy areas.
• Eliminates sore throat, which allows the patient to eat and drink normally during the recovery period.
• Improves the condition of tissues by stimulating the processes of their recovery. With proper use, the drug somewhat shortens the recovery period if it is prescribed in the initial stages.
• Promotes the normalization of the microflora of the oral cavity.
• Prevents the development of aphthous stomatitis, which develops as a result of a weakening of general and local immunity.
• Helps eliminate edema, which is often present with the development of an inflammatory disease of the throat or oral mucosa.
• Pyridoxine further improves the state of the central nervous system when it enters the systemic circulation after dissolving in the oral cavity.

The product is intended for absorption in the oral cavity, therefore, the main therapeutic effect is carried out precisely in the area of ​​the lesion, that is, on the mucous membrane of the throat and oral cavity.

Despite this, a sufficient amount of active components enters the systemic circulation, as it is absorbed in the digestive tract. With prolonged use, there is a concentration of components in muscle tissues, central nervous system, liver and other internal organs.

The agent is processed in the liver, after which its active components are evacuated from the body with the help of the kidneys. In case of violations of the kidneys and the digestive tract, a slowdown in the absorption of the components of the composition in the body is noted. This does not affect the therapeutic effect in the throat and oral cavity.

Indications for use

Lizobact is prescribed not only for sore throat, but also for other conditions.

Reviews of the tool confirm its effectiveness in various diseases:

• Stomatitis in acute and chronic form, accompanied by various disorders and the formation of ulcerations on the oral mucosa. In this case, the process of eating is disrupted and the patient needs help.
• Pharyngitis, laryngitis and tonsillitis at different stages of development. In an acute course, the agent can be used as part of a complex treatment; in a chronic course of the condition, it can be used as the only method of therapy.
• Aphthous form of stomatitis, accompanied by the appearance on the mucous membrane of the oral cavity of small foci covered with a white bloom. At the same time, tissue nutrition is disrupted, which can provoke the spread of foci to large areas, the upper palate, and the throat.
• Severe sore throat, in which purulent foci and acute signs of inflammation appear.

The drug can be used as part of the complex treatment of gingivitis, cheilitis and herpetic lesions of the mucous membranes of the throat or oral cavity. The medicine can be prescribed during the recovery period after the procedure for removing the tonsils.

Contraindications and side effects

The tool is strictly forbidden to use when detecting acute or subacute intolerance to the components of the composition, as well as a tendency to such manifestations in the patient's history.

Other barriers to treatment include:

• The presence of large purulent foci in the oral cavity or on the mucous membrane of the throat.
• Diagnosing a lactase deficiency is also considered a barrier to medication.
• The age of patients is up to 3 years.
• Acute internal bleeding that occurs when the mucous membranes of the digestive tract are damaged. In this case, there is an aggravation of the general condition, and the pills can provoke complications if they enter the stomach.
• Impaired swallowing function, in which, during resorption, the tablet can enter the patient's respiratory tract.
• Acute renal failure, in which the functioning of the organ and the process of removing the components of the composition from the body is disrupted.
• Severe stage of liver failure.

The drug can provoke complications if the instructions are violated, especially in the case when patients have a history of pathologies of the internal organs of a chronic form.
