Pharmacological properties

Has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects.

Pharmacodynamics

Povidone-iodine (complex of iodine and polyvidone) is a disinfectant component with reduced toxic effects of iodine on body tissues. It is characterized by a broad antimicrobial effect, which is provided by proteolytic properties (direct effect on the proteins of microorganisms). Partially has a bactericidal effect against gram-negative and gram-positive cocci and bacilli, as well as against certain anaerobic bacteria, yeast, and protozoan viruses.

Allantoin has an anti-inflammatory effect, which in combination with polyvidone provides a therapeutic effect.

The drug easily penetrates the epithelial tissue of the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract, providing a quick effect in chronic and acute diseases.

Pharmacokinetics

In the body, iodine is converted into iodides, which accumulate mainly in the thyroid gland. Iodides are primarily excreted by the kidneys, and also in small amounts through sweating, salivation and feces.

Indications for use

Infectious and inflammatory diseases of the pharynx and oral cavity (including inflammation of the larynx, tongue, aphthae);
Sore throat (catarrhal, lacunar, follicular, caused by strains that are sensitive to the action of active substances) - simultaneously with antibiotic drugs;
Tonsillitis (chronic and acute);
