Release form

The preparation is produced in the form of a spray, as well as a solution. Spray in 50 ml vials additionally with a sprayer. The package contains 1 such bottle. The solution is also available in vials - a volume of 100 ml. One package contains 1 bottle, as well as a measuring cup.

Pharmacodynamics

The preparation contains 3 main active components.

Hexetidine has bactericidal as well as antifungal properties. This substance effectively affects both aerobes and anaerobes, as well as gram-positive bacteria with gram-negative bacteria. In this case, the pronounced antibacterial effect is on strains of anaerobes, but on aerobic strains this effect is much weaker - in this case there is a bacteriostatic effect. The chemical structure of hexiethidine is similar to that of thiamine (it promotes microbial growth). Thus, the antimicrobial effect of hexiethidine is based on the competitive replacement of thiamine - thereby disrupting the development and reproduction of microbes.

Salicyalat choline has antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, as well as analgesic properties.

Chlorobutanol has analgesic effect, therefore it is used as an anesthetic for rinses, compresses and irrigation.

Pharmacokinetics

The active substances of Hepilor fall on the mucosa of the mouth, lingering on it. Further sequential release of these drugs allows the drug to have a prolonged therapeutic effect.

Dosing and administration

Do not allow the medication to penetrate into the eyes, and after a spray / rinse procedure, you should refrain from water and food for about half an hour. Treatment schedule, as well as the duration of the course are determined by the doctor.

The solution used for rinsing should be measured with a special measuring cup to 10 ml (about 2 tsp), and then dissolved in warm water (50 ml). For the day you need to do 2-4 rinses. Do not swallow the medicine. Therapeutic course lasts 5 days.

Spray is prescribed for adults in dosage 1 spraying at 4-6 r. / Day. For children from 12 years the dose is 1 spraying 2-3 r. / Day. The duration of the treatment course should not exceed 5 days.

If signs of the disease continue to manifest after a 5-day course of therapy or a temperature increase occurs, you need to choose another medicine.
