Pharmacodynamics

The combination of active components of the drug has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antibacterial effects.

Lidocaine is an amide substance with a powerful local anesthetic effect. It acts by stabilizing cell membranes, blocking Na channels. Compared to novocaine, lidocaine is safer and more effective, and can also have an antibacterial effect.

The tincture of chamomile flowers contains several substances of different structure with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, the combination of which enhances the overall therapeutic effect of the drug. The most important medicinal elements are sesquiterpenes, which contain more than 50% of the active components of chamomile. The anti-inflammatory effect of this substance is provided by the action of alpha-bisabolol, as well as chamazulene, which also have antibacterial and antimycotic effects.

Thymol is a phenol derivative that has antimicrobial and also a strong antimycotic effect. It has a wide range of disinfectant effects, and what distinguishes it from phenol is that it has a weak toxicity index. At the same time, thymol also has antiviral properties.
