Pharmacological Properties.

Pharmacodynamics.

The action of the medicinal product is due to its three active components.

Antibacterial and antifungal activity. Hexetidine exerts antibacterial effects against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative microbial strains, as well as against both aerobic and anaerobic organisms.

Against aerobic strains, hexetidine generally produces a bacteriostatic effect, with weak bactericidal activity. Against anaerobic strains, hexetidine exerts a pronounced bactericidal effect. The mechanism of action involves competitive interaction with thiamine: the structure of hexetidine resembles that of thiamine, which is essential for microbial growth.

Anti-inflammatory activity. Choline salicylate provides analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory effects. It is used for the treatment of diseases affecting the oral cavity.

Analgesic activity. Chlorobutanol exerts an analgesic effect. It can be used, in particular, in otorhinolaryngology (nasal drops, mouthwashes) and in dental practice (applications and irrigations). It can classically be used as a local anesthetic.

Pharmacokinetics.

The active substances bind to the oral mucosa, from which they are gradually released.

Use with caution in patients with a tendency to allergic reactions, including bronchial asthma, especially in patients allergic to acetylsalicylic acid. If signs of hypersensitivity to the medicinal product occur, its use should be discontinued immediately.

Since the medicinal product contains ethanol, it should be administered with caution to patients with liver diseases.

Prolonged use is not recommended, as it may alter the natural microbial balance of the oral cavity and pharynx, with a risk of bacterial and fungal overgrowth.

If general clinical signs of bacterial infection occur, systemic antibacterial therapy should be initiated.

If symptoms persist for more than 5 days and/or body temperature remains elevated, the treatment strategy should be reassessed.

If inflammation worsens, treatment with this medicinal product should be discontinued.
