For successful and speedy treatment of angina, it is necessary to choose the right antimicrobial agents, because it is very important to eliminate the inflammatory process as early as possible - only after that the main symptoms of the disease will subside. Among many bactericidal medications, Chlorophyllipt is successfully used for angina - this is a herbal preparation, safe, inexpensive, which copes with its task perfectly and quickly destroys the infection in the throat. Chlorophyllipt can be used as part of complex therapy, but sometimes even monotherapy is enough to quickly alleviate the patient's well-being.
Does Chlorophyllipt help with tonsillitis?
The action of Chlorophyllipt is aimed at destroying coccal flora - mainly staphylococcus. Tonsillitis develops under the influence of pyogenic infection, for example, streptococcus, staphylococcus, pneumococcus. Therefore, the use of Chlorophyllipt for tonsillitis is quite justified, and numerous positive treatment results confirm this.
To fully understand the picture, let's look at other beneficial properties of this medication:
- suppresses the proliferation of coccal flora;
- promotes the removal of toxic substances from the body;
- helps in the restoration of mucous tissue;
- facilitates the removal of phlegm from the respiratory tract;
- strengthens local and general immunity.
The main condition for successful use of Chlorophyllipt is regularity. Do not forget to gargle or use a spray in a timely manner. With regular use, the sore throat will end quickly, and the unpleasant symptoms will subside.

Indications Chlorophyllipt for sore throat.
Chlorophyllipt can be used not only for tonsillitis, but also for other otolaryngological diseases:
- inflammatory processes in the larynx, nasopharynx;
- acute or chronic tonsillitis;
- adenoid growths.
The main indication for the use of Chlorophyllipt is considered to be staphylococcal infection. However, the drug is also suitable for use in other infectious and inflammatory processes. For example, in case of purulent complications, the drug helps to stop the spread of the process, avoid sepsis. Chlorophyllipt is prescribed even for purulent pleurisy or pneumonia, as well as other respiratory diseases.
- Chlorophyllipt for tonsillitis quickly stops the reproduction and destroys pathogenic flora, smoothes out inflammatory manifestations, relieves sore throat, prevents further spread of infection. The drug can be used in different medicinal forms, so for each patient you can choose the most suitable option, and, if necessary, combine them.
- Chlorophyllipt for purulent tonsillitis helps to clear the tonsils of purulent plugs and mucus. At the recovery stage, the solution helps to accelerate the regeneration of tissue damaged by the inflammatory process. To cure purulent tonsillitis faster, Chlorophyllipt should be used often - preferably in the form of gargles and spray treatment.
- Chlorophyllipt is not often used for herpetic sore throat, because the disease is caused not by cocci, but by the ECHO enterovirus, which the drug does not affect. However, it has been experimentally proven that Chlorophyllipt is capable, if not of destroying the virus, then at least of significantly weakening it. In addition, the use of Chlorophyllipt reduces the likelihood of developing a secondary infection with herpetic sore throat, so in many situations the use of the drug is quite justified.
- If the sore throat is accompanied by rhinitis or sinusitis, then Chlorophyllipt is used for the nose. Moreover, you can use both an oil and an alcohol solution of the drug. Cotton turundas are moistened with an oil extract, which are then inserted into the nose for 10-15 minutes. You can simply lubricate the mucous membrane, or drip an oil preparation into the nasal cavity, diluted in half with any vegetable oil (you can also use rosehip oil, sea buckthorn oil). The alcohol solution is diluted with warm water (as for rinsing), add a little salt and soda and use to rinse the nasal cavity. This recipe helps to get rid of even chronic rhinitis.

Release form
Almost any pharmacy has several medicinal forms of Chlorophyllipt: alcohol solution, oil extract, sublingual tablets, spray with a dosing device for irrigating the nasopharynx. The concentration of the active ingredient can vary - from 0.25 to 2%. If the product is used for the first time, it is better to start treatment with the lowest concentration, since in some cases Chlorophyllipt can cause allergies.
For sore throat, any medicinal form of the drug can be used. However, as practice shows, the most convenient is considered to be a drug in the form of a spray or oil extract.
- Oil Chlorophyllipt is considered a virtually universal remedy for sore throat: it can be taken internally or externally (for example, lubricate inflamed tonsils or drip into the nose). For sore throats, you can apply the oil directly to the tonsils, or simply hold a small amount in your mouth, as if dissolving it, several times a day. According to otolaryngologists, this practice helps relieve sore throats within 24 hours.
- Chlorophyllipt spray for sore throat is also not without its advantages. The corresponding form of the drug allows you to deliver the medicine to the most difficult to reach place - for example, deep in the throat or nasal cavity. The spray is approved for use in the treatment of sore throat in adult patients and in children, starting from 3-4 years old (if there is no allergy to the drug).
- Chlorophyllipt alcohol for sore throat is originally intended for intravascular administration, which is most relevant for various septic conditions, extensive burns, pneumonia. However, this same medicine can be used both internally and externally. For example, Chlorophyllipt solution for sore throat is often used for gargling, for lubricating tonsils, etc. It is not recommended to use alcohol-based medicines for treating children.
- Chlorophyllipt tablets are intended for slow absorption in the oral cavity: in this way, the condition of a patient with pharyngitis, laryngitis can be significantly improved, and a lingering cough can be alleviated.
Pharmacodynamics
Chlorophyllipt has a powerful antimicrobial and etiotropic effect - its predominant action is aimed at destroying antibiotic-resistant and antibiotic-dependent coccal flora.
Chlorophyllipt eliminates drug resistance plasmids, promotes tissue oxygenation, and helps remove toxic substances from tissues. Given all the beneficial properties of the drug, it is recommended for use to correct immunity, eliminate tissue hypoxia, and increase the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy.
Chlorophyllipt is well accepted by the human body and does not have a carcinogenic, mutagenic, embryotoxic or teratogenic effect.
Pharmacokinetics
The kinetic characteristics of Chlorophyllipt have not been studied.
Dosing and administration
Chlorophyllipt can be used for sore throat in several ways. The main condition is to maintain a constant concentration of the drug in the area of inflammation throughout the treatment period. As a rule, relief occurs within the first 24 hours, and full recovery should be expected in a few days.
For rinsing the oropharynx, 1% alcohol Chlorophyllipt is suitable. We will consider the proportions of such a solution below.
Gargle several times a day, but not less than 3 times a day. Gargling improves mucus discharge, washes out plugs from the tonsils, and relieves pain.
Chlorophyllipt with a nozzle for irrigation of the mucous membrane - the spray is used only for treating the oropharynx, tonsils. It is not recommended to use the spray for application to the nasal mucosa. The product is directed to the inflamed area and 2 presses on the valve are made. Repeat approximately 4-5 times a day, at equal time intervals.
For inhalation administration, both alcohol and oil solutions are allowed. Inhalations are steam: that is, the patient should inhale warm steam, covering his head with a blanket or thick towel.
Tableted Chlorophyllipt is also very convenient to use: to get the effect, it is enough to hold the drug in the oral cavity until the tablet completely dissolves. Usually 4-5 tablets are taken per day.
How to dilute Chlorophyllipt for sore throat? To gargle, you will need to prepare a solution in the following proportion: 5 ml of alcohol Chlorophyllipt and 100 ml of warmed drinking water. Gargle after meals and always at night, using the entire prepared solution. To achieve the best effect, gargling with Chlorophyllipt should be repeated every 2.5-3.3 hours. Do not drink liquids or eat for half an hour after the procedure.
Application for children
The instructions do not indicate the possibility of using Chlorophyllipt to treat sore throat in children. However, the drug is actively used even in infants - this applies to the oil form of the drug. The main point is to check whether the child is allergic to this drug. If everything is in order, then Chlorophyllipt can be used by moistening turundas with it, or simply treating the baby's mucous membrane with cotton swabs soaked in an oil extract. For many children, parents drip a few drops of the oil preparation into the mouth, which allows getting rid of a sore throat in literally a day.
Alcohol Chlorophyllipt for the throat of infants is not recommended, as is the spray (it is allowed to be prescribed to children no earlier than five years of age). If you still decide to use an alcohol solution, it must be diluted strongly with water to minimize the negative impact of ethyl alcohol on the baby's body.
Use Chlorophyllipt for sore throat. during pregnancy
If there is no allergy to the drug, Chlorophyllipt can be used at any stage of pregnancy. This is a safe and effective remedy, the active ingredients of which do not penetrate into the systemic bloodstream and cannot harm the future baby. Quite a few clinical trials have already been conducted, which have proven that Chlorophyllipt does not have a teratogenic property.
Pregnant women can gargle or wash their nasal cavity with the preparation, lubricate the mucous membrane with an oil solution or do steam inhalations. For the inhalation procedure, the alcohol solution is diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10. The duration of the course and the frequency of procedures are determined by the doctor.
Contraindications
Any medicinal form of Chlorophyllipt is prohibited for use in case of hypersensitivity to the extract of eucalyptus leaves or to other ingredients of the drug.
An additional contraindication for the alcohol solution is age: doctors do not recommend offering alcohol liquids to children under 18 years of age. However, some experts are inclined to believe that a strong dilution of the drug cannot harm a child. Therefore, in some cases, the use of alcohol Chlorophyllipt is allowed to treat sore throat in children from 3 years of age.

Reviews
Let us note right away that there are practically no negative reviews about the use of Chlorophyllipt for sore throat: rare exceptions are mainly associated with the detection of an allergy to the drug.
As a rule, the effect of the drug is already evident in the first day: the sore throat subsides, breathing becomes cleaner. Another advantage of Chlorophyllipt over antibiotics is that this drug does not disturb the balance of microflora in the body, does not weaken the immune system, but on the contrary, helps to strengthen it. The drug is especially recommended for use by weakened patients who often catch colds.
The antimicrobial drug can be used throughout almost the entire life period - that is, both in infancy and in the elderly. The drug has a detrimental effect on pathogenic flora, stops inflammation, accelerates the healing and recovery processes. At the same time, it is often enough to use only Chlorophyllipt to cure a sore throat, and only in some cases additional medications may be needed.
And another undoubted "plus" of this medicine is that its cost is relatively low, and its consumption is minimal. One bottle with an oil remedy can last for a long time, despite the fact that Chlorophyllipt is used for sore throat several times a day.
