Pharmacodynamics

The active substance of the drug is chlorhexidine, which has a bactericidal effect on gram-negative and gram-positive microbes (such as Str. mutans, anaerobes, Str. salvarius, Klebsiella, Str. sanquis, Proteus, E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Veillonella species, and Selenomonas), and in addition, prevents the growth of candidal fungi, as well as individual mold fungi. This substance blocks the development of protein amino groups that are part of the structure of cytolemmas. It penetrates into the cells of microbes and is embedded in membranes, changing its functioning, settling on the cytoplasm, thereby preventing the penetration of oxygen. This causes a lack of ATP, as a result of which pathogenic microorganisms are destroyed.

Ascorbic acid helps to remove swelling of the mucous membranes, increases the activity of local immunity, and also participates in the process of collagen bonding and tissue restoration.

Pharmacokinetics

Chlorhexidine is not absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract or through mucous membranes. Approximately 10% of the substance is broken down in the liver, and the remainder is excreted unchanged with feces.

Ascorbic acid is well absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. Plasma protein binding is 25%. During metabolism, it is converted into dihydroascorbic and etadinic acids. It is then excreted from the body with urine.

Dosing and administration

The medicine must be dissolved in the mouth. It must be taken after eating or cleaning the oral cavity - this is necessary so that the drug can remain on the mucous membrane for 2 hours without the risk of being washed away.

You need to take 1 tablet four times a day. The treatment course is 7 days. The treatment can be extended to a maximum of 2 weeks.
