Ingalipt has an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effect.
Indications Inhalipta
It is used to eliminate pharyngitis, laryngitis, tonsillitis, aphthous or ulcerative stomatitis, and other infectious inflammatory diseases affecting the ENT organs and oral mucosa.
Release form
The product is released in the form of a spray or aerosol, in cans with a capacity of 20, 25, and also 30 or 50 ml. There is 1 such can inside the box.
Pharmacodynamics
The medicine is multicomponent and is applied locally. Soluble sulfonamides, which are part of the medicine, have an antimicrobial effect on gram-negative and -positive bacteria that provoke the development of diseases inside the oral cavity.
Thymol, as well as eucalyptus and peppermint oils, have antimycotic (against Candida fungi), antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and mild analgesic effects.
Dosing and administration
The medication is prescribed for local irrigation of the mucous membranes in the mouth and nasopharynx.
Before using the drug, attach the sprayer to the can and then shake it. Irrigation is carried out by pressing the nozzle - the affected area is evenly treated with the drug.
During the inhalation procedure, 2-3 injections are performed. The medication should be held in the mouth for 5 minutes. Such irrigations should be performed a maximum of four times per day. The duration of the course is determined by the intensity of the therapy. Often it is 7-10 days.
The treatment regimen used for adults is also prescribed for children. Portion sizes for children are selected based on their age and with the doctor's permission.
