A natural preparation based on chlorophyll from eucalyptus leaves may well compete with antibiotics in the treatment of angina. Contains antibacterial substances that are active against many pathogenic organisms, and especially to staphylococci. Therefore, it is not necessary to doubt whether chlorophyllipt helps with angina. It is very effective if angina is caused by staphylococcus, and often enough this is the case. Acute inflammation of the tonsils occurs with high fever, fever, systemic indisposition and the formation of ulcers in the throat. Quite often untreated tonsillitis turns into chronic tonsillitis. The disease often gives complications to the joints, heart and kidneys. And, unlike synthetic antibiotics, the use of a natural antiseptic from the leaves of eucalyptus can stop the development of staphylococcus in the tonsils and prevent the infection from spreading through the body. These pathogens, gaining resistance to many antibiotics, did not develop it to chlorophyllipt, as it is able to neutralize the plasmid resistance of bacteria to the action of antibiotics.
In addition, the great advantage of a natural antibacterial agent is the absence of such undesirable phenomena developing from taking antibiotics, as a violation of the microflora of the mucous membranes - diarrhea, thrush, stomatitis, as well as neuro-psychiatric disorders and liver failure, chlorophyllipt probably will not.
Indications Chlorophyllipt in angina
As an independent drug or in combination with antibiotics for acute and chronic inflammatory processes in the nasopharynx caused mainly by staphylococcal infection, also other pathogens, including streptococcus.
In diseases of the throat, chlorophyll from eucalyptus leaves is used topically for rinsing and irrigation of the throat, lubrication of the tonsils, resorption under the tongue (tablet form), solution for ingestion and intravenous injections (in severe forms in the hospital).
Chlorophyllipt in tonsillitis is used as an external remedy or in the form of sublingual tablets in order to eliminate infection, stop the inflammation and exacerbate or prevent it.
Chlorophyllipt with purulent angina is used topically and inward to eliminate purulent plugs, alleviate the pain syndrome, reduce the inflammatory process and prevent complications.
Chlorophyllipt with herpes angina is mainly used externally as an anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating agent, and also as a prophylaxis of joining a bacterial infection.
Infection of the throat is often accompanied by the spread of infection on the nasal mucosa. Use Chlorophyllipt for the nose to destroy the infection and facilitate breathing can be done with genyantritis, bacterial rhinitis, adenoiditis.

Release form
Pharmaceutical industry produces oil and alcohol solutions, packaged in bottles; liquid form in aerosol containers and sublingual tablets.
Oily Chlorophylliptum with tonsillitis and exacerbations of chronic tonsillitis is designed to treat tonsils with impregnated swabs. In cases of damage to the nasal mucosa (sinusitis, emoiditis, rhinitis), it can be buried in the nose.
Chlorophyllipt alcohol with angina is used to prepare a solution that rinses the throat, sometimes it is used to treat inflammatory foci on the tonsils, but you can earn a burn mucosa.
Adult patients are allowed to take either oily or diluted alcohol solution of chlorophyllipt in angina.
The most convenient for topical application is the form of Chlorophyllipt-spray with angina. It does not require additional efforts to prepare before use. In its composition, in addition to the alcohol extract of chlorophyllipt, there is glycerin, which softens the burning effect of alcohol.
However, not all patients tolerate throat irrigation or tampon treatment well. Alternatives can be a tablet for resorption, which in addition to the extract of eucalyptus includes sugar, citric acid, calcium and cellulose.
The chlorophylliptine solution is still available in injectable ampoules, but in this form it is used in severe cases in hospital settings.
Pharmacodynamics
Chlorophyllipt has antibacterial action (destroys or stops their growth and development) on many pathogenic microorganisms. Staphylococci are especially sensitive to it. The phytoncides of eucalyptus are also harmful for streptococci.
It combines well with antibiotics, strengthening their effect, as it has the ability to disrupt the resistance of infectious agents to antibacterial drugs.
In addition, it stimulates saturation of tissues with oxygen, eliminating their hypoxia, has a good ability to remove the symptoms of intoxication and inflammation, which is valuable with reduced immunity in patients with acute and chronic forms of the disease.
Pharmacokinetics
Studies of the general effect of Chlorophyllipt on the body have not been carried out, however, with external application systemic absorption and action is unlikely.
In studies of the effect of the drug with intravenous administration, no undesirable effects have been identified: mutagenic, carcinogenic, teratogenic and embryotoxic, therefore, it can be assumed that oral administration should not be dangerous.
Dosing and administration
The oil solution is used as follows:
- three to four times a day, treat the tonsils with a tampon soaked in solution;
- orally - a teaspoonful adult 30 minutes before meals four times a day for a week or drip from five to ten drops into each nostril in the supine position, keeping it about a quarter of an hour.
In the instructions to the alcohol solution it is often not indicated how to dilute Chlorophyllipt in angina. Apparently, manufacturers do not expect such use of their product. Although with diseases of the ENT organs, the throat rinse with chlorophyllipt has been practiced for a long time.
Alcohol solution for rinsing is diluted with water in the proportions of one teaspoon per 200ml of boiled warm, but not hot, water.
For oral administration it is diluted with water in proportions of 1: 5, unit of measurement is a teaspoonful. Take three times a day before meals in 30 minutes.
Irrigation is done by double-clicking on the spray valve three to four times a day.
The tablets dissolve in the mouth completely every four hours, without fixing them behind the cheek or under the tongue, in order to avoid irritation in this place. The maximum daily intake for adults is five tablets.
Rinse throat Chlorophylliptum, irrigation or resorption of tablets should be done after eating, and then withstand some time (not less than half an hour), during which you do not need to eat or drink anything.
Application for children
In instructions from manufacturers of funds based on the eucalyptus leaf extract, there is no unity in relation to the age of patients from whom phytopreparations are allowed in pediatric practice. Many people do not recommend using their products to treat children in general, referring to the lack of experience with this category of patients. When it comes to children, it is necessary to mean the population at the age from birth to 17 full years.
In other instructions, the use of all forms in children aged 12 and older is stipulated. In any case, to use Chlorophylitis for the throat of infants and even more so, and, frankly, this procedure can be difficult to imagine.
At the same time, the preparation is natural, not poisonous, does not cause side effects peculiar to antibiotics and can really help. So it's up to the parents and the district pediatrician to decide whether it is possible to treat the child with Chlorophyllipt.
At least, the child should be taught to gargle without swallowing the solution, to dissolve the pill, and not to chew and swallow. The easiest way to lubricate the tonsils with oil solution, however, not every child will calmly allow such a procedure. The same goes for the spray.
Use Chlorophyllipt in angina during pregnancy
In the absence of an allergic reaction to the leaves of eucalyptus, women during pregnancy and lactation to apply externally the solution or spray Chlorophyllipt is safe enough. Although it is better to coordinate this question with your doctor. Concerning internal application medical consultation is obligatory.
Producers do not recommend the use of Chlorophyllipt for this category of patients, on the grounds that they did not conduct research on the effectiveness and safety of the drug for them. But logic suggests that eucalyptus leaves that do not have teratogenic, embryotoxic and other effects are unlikely to do more harm than, for example, amoxicillin.
Contraindications
Chlorophyllipt of any form can not be used by people with allergies to the components that make up its composition. Sam extract eucalyptus can cause a sensitization reaction - the plant has a bright taste and odor. In addition, all preparations contain additional components.
To determine the sensitivity to the drug, you need to make a sample, for example, apply a little oil solution (spray) on the mucous lips, once rinse the mouth with a solution, slightly to dissolve the tablet. If no redness appears in six to eight hours, swelling or itching (slight short-term tingling does not count), you can start treatment at recommended doses.
