• protection of the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract, as well as healing of its dried, infected or damaged areas;

Pharmacodynamics

Usnic acid has antiviral, antibacterial, and also antiproliferative, antiprotozoal and analgesic properties. After using the drug, a special protective film is formed inside the oral cavity, which covers the existing damage to the mucous membrane (of infectious or mechanical origin). The same film protects the vocal cords with the larynx, which helps to eliminate hoarseness in the voice and sore throat. At the same time, Septofit helps to strengthen the gums and significantly slows down the development of periodontosis.

Usnic acid has antibacterial activity against the following types of pathogens:

• Gram-positive microbes: Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Enterococcus faecium and Streptococcus mutans;
• aerobes: Bacteroides fragilis, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Bacteroides brevis, Bacteroides vulgatus, Clostridium perfringens and Propionibacterium acnes;
• mycobacteria: aurum, avium, smegmatis and Koch's bacillus.

The active component has an antiviral effect against HSV and Epstein-Barr virus.
