Rohnopathy, or simply snoring, in most cases worries the close circle of the snorer much more than he himself, since it is almost impossible to fully sleep next to him. They turn him over on his side, put additional pillows under his head so that it does not fall back, push, swear, but after a while the person snores again. There are many reasons for this sound phenomenon. One of them, very common, is age-related weakening of the muscles of the soft tissues of the larynx and pharynx, their "sagging" and vibration. In addition, people who snore have certain anatomical features of the nasopharynx, for example, narrowed air passages, in which mucus accumulates and these accumulations become viscous. [1]In this case, Silence Forte from snoring can help - a new generation drug in a convenient spray form.
In other cases, when the cause of snoring is surgical pathologies, chronic diseases, injuries of the nasopharynx, the drug may not help. Therefore, before using this remedy, it is advisable to consult an otolaryngologist about the possible cause of snoring.
Indications Silence forte for snoring
Snoring caused by vibration of the tissues of the soft palate. It should be borne in mind that the spray is not a means to prevent sleep apnea.
Release form
Silence forte for snoring comes in a convenient form. To apply it, you do not need tampons and kwachi, there is no direct contact with the application surface. This is a spray.
Pharmacodynamics
The mechanism of action is provided by the ingredients that make up the solution.
- Phosphatidylcholine is a natural extract of soybean oil residues. In structure, it is akin to human skin and mucous membranes, due to which it perfectly impregnates them and promotes the penetration of active substances into the deep layers. In addition, phosphatidylcholine promotes the formation of a homogeneous solution and the mixing of substances that usually do not react with each other, as well as the preservation of their qualities, in particular, this applies to the following components of the drug.
- Glycerin is a moisturizing ingredient, a hygroscopic alcohol, whose cells capture and retain water. In addition, he is an excellent conductor, helping to quickly deliver nutrients to their destination.
- Carrageenan (E407) - sulfate polysaccharide, hydrocolloid, is a gelling additive. It is of natural origin. It is made from red seaweed.
- The extract from dog rose hips is a complex of nutrients: ascorbic acid, riboflavin, bioflafonoids, phylloquinone, sugars, tannins, provides a mild anti-inflammatory effect.
- Sucralose (E955) is a sweetener.
- Flavors - mint and tangerine.
- Preservatives - sodium salts of parabens.
- Sodium dihydrogen phosphate, sodium hydrogen phosphate - multipurpose food additives (stabilizing, emulsifying, buffer, water-retaining).
In addition, distilled water itself and propellant gas to aid atomization.
By its consistency, the drug is a light foam with mucoadhesive properties, that is, it remains on the mucous membrane for a long time after application, and the active substances are gradually released from it and the effect lasts throughout the night. Foam envelops the mucous membrane of the soft tissues of the larynx, moisturizes and softens it.

As is typical for complex drugs, their synergistic combined effect has been studied empirically in clinical trials. They have found that the spray works quickly and efficiently when used as indicated.
