Instructions for Theraflu Lar
Pharmacological properties Theraflu:
Benzoxonium chloride has a pronounced bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect against gram-positive and, to a lesser extent, gram-negative microorganisms. It is especially effective against causative agents of diseases of the mouth and throat, as well as microorganisms involved in the formation of dental plaque. Benzoxonium chloride also has antifungal and weak antiviral activity against membrane viruses (including influenza, parainfluenza and herpes viruses).
Due to the cationic structure of benzoxonium chloride, it has membranotropic activity and a high degree of surface activity, which contributes to its penetration into the cells of infectious agents.
Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that relieves pain during inflammatory processes in the throat, eliminates pain when swallowing. Does not irritate the mucous membrane, does not cause caries.
Benzoxonium chloride is practically not absorbed. The degree of excretion in the urine is low (approximately 1% of the applied dose within 24 hours). In blood plasma, the concentration of the substance is almost not determined. The accumulation of the substance in the tissues of the body was not revealed.
Lidocaine is absorbed after oral administration in the oral cavity by mucosal cell membranes. Metabolized during the first "passage through the liver." Bioavailability is about 35% after oral administration. Metabolism in the liver is fast, metabolites are excreted in the urine.
