Some recommendations for the use of Lysobact during a sore throat

When consuming Lyzobact, there are several treatment features. You should not self-medicate for sore throat. Treatment of tonsillitis includes not only taking Lyzobact, but also the use of antibiotics. To eliminate symptoms, you need to use painkillers, antiseptics and antipyretics.

Treatment of angina necessarily includes:

• gargling with saline, soda or furatsilin solution;
• washing lacunae and follicles when pus accumulates in plugs;
• resorption of tablets in the form of Lichzobact;
• throat irrigation with Miramistin, Chlorhexidine. Children over four years old can use Hexoral or Tantum Verde.

To avoid unwanted consequences, it is better to visit a doctor and ask about all the intricacies of treatment.

The drug lysobact belongs to the group of immunomodulators and is widely used in the treatment of diseases whose symptoms are sore throat, inflammation of the oral mucosa, and cough.

Lysobact is available in the form of lozenges. Unlike antibacterial drugs, Lyzobact does not have a strong antimicrobial effect and is usually used as part of complex therapy for a particular pathology. It has minimal contraindications, so it can be taken by children and pregnant women.

Composition and mechanism of action

The main active ingredients of lysobact are pyridoxine hydrochloride and lysozyme hydrochloride. The composition includes vanillin, sodium saccharinate, magnesium stearate, gum and lactose as excipients.

The mechanism of action is based on the antiseptic properties of one of its active ingredients - lysozyme, which acts at the cellular level, converting polysaccharides of the membranes of gram-positive bacteria into mucopeptides. In addition to bacteria, the drug has an antiseptic effect on fungi and viruses, and improves immunity. Lysobact is used not only for diseases of the ENT organs, but also in dentistry.

The second active ingredient - pyridoxine (vitamin B6) - has a protective effect on the oral mucosa and prevents the development of candidiasis, therefore one of the indications for use is aphthous stomatitis.

Once in the body, lyzobact reaches its maximum concentration one and a half hours after administration. Part of the drug is absorbed into the blood in the intestines, most of it is excreted through the kidneys.

Indications and contraindications for use

The use of the drug is indicated for the following diseases:

• erosion of the oral mucosa;
• herpetic lesions of the oral mucosa;
• stomatitis (including aphthous);
• gingivitis.

In addition to the above diseases, the drug is used for laryngitis, pharyngitis, and also after certain operations.

As prescribed by a doctor, lysobact can be used during pregnancy and lactation.

Do not take the drug if the patient has an allergic reaction to the components included in its composition, or hereditary lactose intolerance. In addition, the use of this medicine is contraindicated in children under three years of age and persons with malabsorption syndrome (insufficient absorption of one or more nutrients entering the intestines).

Is it possible to treat a sore throat with Lysobact?

The instructions do not clearly indicate that the drug can be used as a medicine for the treatment of sore throat. However, the course of tonsillitis is accompanied by those symptoms for which lysobact is indicated for use (swelling of the oral mucosa, sore throat), so it is correct and effective to take it as a means of symptomatic therapy for sore throat.

Sore throat with sore throat significantly affects the patient’s well-being

It should be remembered that lysobacterium alone cannot cure a sore throat. The drug should be used as part of complex therapy. For example, taking lysobact in combination with antibacterial therapy enhances the therapeutic effect and contributes to a faster recovery of the patient. But in case of laryngitis, especially long-term and sluggish, lysobact can be used as a monotherapeutic agent, since this course of the disease is usually caused by decreased immunity, which can be restored by the pyridoxine and lysozyme included in the drug.

Instructions for use

The drug is used topically, the tablet is slowly dissolved in the mouth until completely dissolved. Do not chew the tablet or drink it with liquid.

The dosage and duration of treatment is determined by the doctor (adults are usually prescribed two tablets four times a day for 7-8 days).

Analogs

There are no direct generics that have exactly the same composition as Lysobact, but there are two drugs that have a similar effect.

Laripront was created in Germany, currently the country of origin is Egypt. The main active ingredients of the drug are dequalinium chloride and lysozyme. Take one tablet every 3 hours.

The drug has no advantages compared to Lysobact; on the contrary, treatment of sore throat with Laripront will cost more.

Laripront treatment will cost more

The second drug, Hexalis, is produced in France in the form of lozenges (30 tablets per package). The composition, in addition to lysozyme, which is one of the active ingredients of lysobact, includes biclotymol and enoxolone. Dosage regimen for adults: one tablet every 4-6 hours. Hexalis has the same side effects as Laripront. In terms of price and effectiveness, it is inferior to lysobact. In addition, you will have to take the drug for sore throat more often than Lysobact.

Reviews

In conclusion, I would like to give a few reviews about this medicine.

Olga (St. Petersburg): “Lozenges are very easy to use. You don’t need to prepare any special solutions; you just need to carry a package of Lysobact with you and take the tablet at the right time. Now, when I have a sore throat, I always use Lysobact.”

Elena (Novosibirsk): “My acquaintance with this drug took place not so long ago. My daughter had a sore throat, and her pediatrician prescribed Lysobact. With the help of lysobact, it was possible to quickly relieve pain and inflammation in the throat. As a result, recovery came much faster than usual. I recommend it to both adults and children."

Tatyana (Moscow): “Before, when I had a sore throat, I always used various “sprayers” like “Ingalipta.” And recently our local therapist advised me to take Lysobact. It turned out that this is a fairly effective remedy for a sore throat, and you can take it right at your workplace. Overall, I recommend it."

A sore throat is not just an unpleasant symptom that worsens the condition, making it difficult to speak and even swallow food. Sometimes a sore throat occurs suddenly and is so severe that it interferes with concentration, worsens the general condition, and makes it incapacitating. At the same time, a sore throat is a source of infection, from where it will subsequently spread to other organs.

The optimal solution for combating a local source of infection is drugs with local antiseptic action. This is exactly the effect that the drug Lizobact has. Having a combined composition, it has a detrimental effect on a wide range of infectious agents and protects the mucous membrane from damage. The drug has a high safety profile and is approved for use even in pregnant women and nursing mothers.

Instructions for use of Lyzobact

The tablets should be dissolved slowly without chewing. Do not take the medicine with water. It is recommended to take the antiseptic substance 30–40 minutes before or after meals.

How to take for sore throat (tonsillitis):

• for children from 3 to 6 years – 1 tablet three times a day;
• for children from the age of seven to 12 years, the dosage increases - 1 tablet in 4 doses;
• adults and children over 12 years of age need to dissolve 2 tablets at once 4 times a day.

The duration of therapy is determined by the doctor, focusing on the patient’s condition. Typically, taking Lizobact does not exceed 9 days.

For infants and children under 3 years of age, the doctor may prescribe such tablets in combination with antipyretics and antibiotics. In this case, 1/3 of the pills should be thoroughly crushed and given to the baby with a pacifier. The effect of such therapy will be slightly lower than with self-resorption, but will still alleviate the child’s condition.

For infants, Lizobact tablets need to be crushed

For gingivitis and stomatitis, the dosages are the same as for the treatment of sore throat. Only the auxiliary drugs differ (Lizobact alone is not enough). The doctor may prescribe a mouth rinse, as well as ointment and antibiotics.

In the fight against tracheitis and catarrhal phenomena in the upper respiratory tract, the ENT specialist prescribes taking Lizobact tablets:

• 3–4 times a day, 2 tablets for adults and children over 12 years of age;
• For children over 3 years old, 1 tablet 3 times a day is enough;
• The drug is rarely prescribed to infants and children under 3 years of age, as it is ineffective due to the inability to dissolve it properly (if necessary, crush 1/3 of the tablet 3 times a day).

The safety of Lizobakt allows its use during pregnancy, starting from the 1st trimester, as well as during breastfeeding.

Analogues of the drug Lizobact for adults

Cheap analogues of Lizobact can also be selected for adult patients. The previously discussed medications could be used for children, but the remedies for sore throat described below are intended for predominantly older patients.

Sebidin

The active ingredient is chlorhexidine. This is a highly effective antiseptic, which, in combination with ascorbic acid, which is part of Sebidin, also has an immunostimulating effect.

The drug is prescribed to patients for topical use for diseases of the throat and oral cavity. Tablets are not prescribed if you are allergic to any of the substances contained in their composition.

Directions for use: 1 tablet every six hours. The course of therapy can last from 5 to 7 days. In some situations, it can be continued for up to 14 days, but this must be agreed upon with the treating doctor.

The main differences between Sebidin and Lizobakt are that it:

• contains chlorhexidine and vitamin C;
• not applicable for children under 12 years of age;
• can cause a number of unpleasant side reactions.

In consultation with an otolaryngologist, pregnant/lactating women can undergo therapy using Sebidine.

Falimint

Falimint is a product based on acetylaminonitropropoxybenzene with a pronounced minty smell and taste. Has an analgesic effect. Tablets are used not as an independent remedy, but as an adjuvant for pathologies of the oral cavity. They have a rather specific, pungent taste, so they are not suitable for every patient. The main advantage is a small list of contraindications, which include hypersensitivity to the components of the tablets and childhood.

Description of the drug

Patients over 18 need to dissolve one tablet several times a day. The maximum allowed quantity per 24 hours is 10 pcs. The medicine is intended for short-term treatment, so the course of its use should last up to 3 days.

Tantum Verde

These lozenges belong to the group of anti-inflammatory drugs. The active substance of the drug - benzydamine - fights inflammation well and effectively, while simultaneously providing an analgesic effect.

Lozenges have pronounced antiseptic properties. The drug is used not only for the treatment of stomatitis, gingivitis, sore throat, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, laryngitis. It is also prescribed to patients with candidal lesions of the oropharyngeal mucosa.

Tantum Verde

The medication should not be taken by patients with fructose intolerance and phenylketonuria. It is also prohibited for children under 6 years to dissolve tablets. During pregnancy and lactation, lozenges should also not be used to treat diseases of the oropharynx.

Dosage regimen: 1 lozenge three times a day at regular intervals. The tablets cannot be bitten or chewed - they must melt on their own in the mouth. The maximum duration of treatment is 7 days.

Composition and dosage form

Lysobact is available in the form of tablets recommended for resorption in the mouth, as an analgesic and antiseptic. The form of the dragee is standard, white, in some cases it may have a yellow tone or a creamy tint. When dissolved, a sweetish aftertaste is felt on the tongue. The tablets on one side are flat, without identification marks, and on the other, they are at risk of splitting or breaking.

The medicine is sold freely at the pharmacy kiosk, without a recommendation from a doctor. Each package contains 3 blisters of 10 tablets each.

The drug contains two main elements: lysozyme and pyridoxine. To enhance the effect, the medicine contains additional components:

1. Lactose monohydrate.
2. Sodium saccharinate.
3. Vanillin.
4. Tragacanth gum.
5. Magnesium stearate.

The description of the drug Lizobakt indicates that the medicine is completely safe. It can be used to treat sore throat in both young children and adults.

Lysobact or strepsils

When choosing lysobact or strepsils, you need to take into account a number of differences. Thus, strepsils is produced in the form of tablets intended for resorption. This combined substance for local use has a pronounced antimicrobial and antifungal effect.

Strepsils contains no sugar, and therefore can be consumed by patients with diabetes mellitus

It is important to take into account that the substance is contraindicated in children under 5 years of age.

The cost of the medicine is 150-200 rubles for 24 pieces.

Strepsils is prescribed in complex therapy for tonsillitis, pharyngitis, tosillitis, periodontal disease and ulcers in the oral cavity.

In dentistry, Strepsils is used after surgical operations to prevent inflammation.

Strepsils contraindications:

• individual intolerance to components;
• children under 5 years of age;
• diabetes;
• allergic reactions to products produced by bees.

During pregnancy and lactation, the use of Strepsils is permitted if there are no other contraindications.

When choosing between Lizobact and Strepsils, you need to take into account the following differences:

• Lyzobact has a wider range of uses, Strepsils is an antibacterial drug;
• Strepsils is produced in the UK and Lyzobact is produced in Bosnia and Herzegovina, for some this difference matters;
• Lizobact can be used by children from 3 years old, Strepsils - from five;
• Lizobakt has more serious side effects - from rash to anaphylactic shock; Strepsils has almost none;
• Lysobact enhances the effect of antibiotics; Strepsils does not have this property;
• Lizobact can be taken (dissolved) several tablets per day during a course of treatment of 5 to 8 days. Strepsils can be taken every 2-3 hours with a course of treatment of 3 days.
• Strepsils is much cheaper than Lizobact.

Lizobact is considered a fairly effective drug that allows you to cope with a variety of pathologies of the ENT organs.

It is very important to follow the instructions and recommendations of the doctor. If it is impossible to take the drug for any reason, it is worth choosing effective analogues

special instructions

It is a mistake to believe that if Lizobact is not an antibiotic, then it has no contraindications or side effects.

This drug is not used in the following cases:

• The drug is not given to children under 3 years of age. This is not due to the composition of the drug, but to the fact that a child can swallow the pill and choke;
• if there is a possibility of an allergic reaction to one of the constituent components of Lysobact;
• if the patient has a history of lactose deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption;
• when the patient is simultaneously taking oral contraceptives, estrogens, and immunosuppressants.

In other cases, as practice shows, the drug is well tolerated by the patient.

Among the side effects of the tablets there is no addiction to the drug.

An overdose of Lizobact is unlikely. Its symptoms are observed only when the dose determined by the doctor is repeatedly exceeded. An overdose manifests itself in symptoms such as decreased sensitivity of the upper and lower extremities, tingling sensation and numbness. It is precisely because of the likelihood of such a phenomenon that it is necessary to store the tablets in places inaccessible to children.

You can purchase the drug at a pharmacy without a prescription, but this does not mean that it is permissible to take it without consulting a doctor. The shelf life of the product is no more than five years from the date of release.

If the patient suffers from a dry or wet cough, an additional antitussive drug is prescribed, and for symptoms of general intoxication of the body, antibiotics are prescribed.

Lizobact should be used with extreme caution for nursing and pregnant women for sore throat, tonsillitis, pharyngitis or laryngitis. For these categories of patients, the doctor determines the dosage individually, based on the general state of health

As for children under the age of seven, the drug must also be given to them carefully: according to some reports, Lyzobact can cause an attack of false croup in them

myLor

Lysobact refers to a drug that has immunomodulatory and therapeutic properties for diseases of the throat, larynx and oral mucosa. But can Lizobact help with sore throat? Who is it prescribed to and is it effective?

Lizobact is one of the medications that is sold in tablet form. It is often prescribed for throat diseases of varying degrees. Lysobact does not have a strong antimicrobial effect, but is often used as a complex therapy.

Lisobact is often prescribed to children and women during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The thing is that the constituent components do not affect the body in any way, since they do not penetrate into the general bloodstream. The drug acts directly on the inflamed area.

The main components of the drug are pyridoxine hydrochloride and lysozyme hydrochloride. The composition also includes auxiliary components in the form of vanillin, sodium saccharinate, magnesium stearate, gum and lactose.

The action of lysomycin is to act on gram-positive bacteria from the inside. In addition, the medication has antiseptic properties, due to which it destroys fungal and viral infections. Also helps improve immune function.

The second active component in the form of pyridoxine has a protective effect, thereby preventing the development of candidiasis and stomatitis. After taking Lizobact, it reaches full concentration within an hour and a half. Some of the components are absorbed by the intestines, and others by the kidneys.

Lizobakt allows you to get rid of a sore throat in a few hours. After use, the patient feels relief the next day. Not only the feeling of pain disappears, but also soreness, hoarseness, hoarseness and swelling of the tissues.

The main indications include:

• erosion of the oral mucosa;
• herpetic lesions of the oral mucosa;
• stomatitis;
• gingivitis.

In addition to all this, tablets are prescribed for laryngitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, as well as after surgical interventions. On the recommendation of Dr. Lizobakt for angina is prescribed during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

It is not recommended to take the medication if you are hypersensitive to the components of the drug. You should also not use Lysobact if you have hereditary lactose intolerance.

In addition, the consumption of this drug is contraindicated in children under three years of age and in patients who suffer from malabsorption.

If a sore throat occurs, Lizobact is often prescribed as a complex therapy. This remedy can treat tonsillitis of any form: purulent, viral, catarrhal. The drug acts as an additional therapy when using antibiotics and antivirals.

Tablets can quickly eliminate swelling of the mucous membrane of the mouth and throat, which often happens with laryngitis. For tonsillitis, the drug makes it possible to shrink tonsils and restore breathing. Pain in the throat and soreness disappear both in the initial stages of the disease and in the later stages.

Lysobact can be safely used for chronic laryngitis or tonsillitis. The active ingredients are not addictive and do not affect the body in any way. Although Lysobact is not an antitussive medication, its use can significantly reduce coughing attacks and eliminate discomfort.

The healing property is based on the suppression of the inflammatory process, which is caused by infections of various types. Lizobact is also able to enhance antioxidant protection in the mucous membrane of the throat. The active substance perfectly restores damaged tissue.

In addition to all this, Lyzobakt allows you to increase immune function in children and adults.

Instructions for use of Lyzobakt indicate that the drug can be given to children over three, women during pregnancy and breastfeeding. But in order to achieve a good therapeutic effect, you should adhere to some rules of administration.

1. It is worth noting that children under three years of age are not an absolute contraindication. But to achieve the desired effect, the tablet must be dissolved. If it is simply chewed or swallowed, the effect will be greatly reduced.
2. A child from three to seven years old is advised to take one tablet up to three times a day.
3. Children from seven to twelve years old are allowed to take four tablets per day.
4. Adults and adolescents are prescribed two tablets three to four times a day.
5. The product can also be used during pregnancy, since the active ingredients do not penetrate the placenta and do not affect the unborn baby in any way. The dosage per day is one or two tablets up to three times a day.
6. The medication can be used during breastfeeding, since its components do not pass into milk. The dosage per day is one or two tablets up to three times a day.

The duration of the treatment course for all patients is from seven to ten days. It all depends on the severity of the disease.

When consuming Lyzobact, there are several treatment features. You should not self-medicate for sore throat. Treatment of tonsillitis includes not only taking Lyzobact, but also the use of antibiotics. To eliminate symptoms, you need to use painkillers, antiseptics and antipyretics.

Treatment of angina necessarily includes:

• gargling with saline, soda or furatsilin solution;
• washing lacunae and follicles when pus accumulates in plugs;
• resorption of tablets in the form of Lichzobact;
• throat irrigation with Miramistin, Chlorhexidine. Children over four years old can use Hexoral or Tantum Verde.

To avoid unwanted consequences, it is better to visit a doctor and ask about all the intricacies of treatment.

Lizobact is a broad-spectrum immunostimulating drug. Thanks to natural enzymes and antiseptic action, it activates local defense mechanisms in the oral cavity, fights bacteria, fungi and prevents the development of infection. The medicine is prescribed for inflammatory and acute respiratory diseases, including Lizobact for sore throat.

Lizobakt is considered the first aid for sore throat. Although it has no direct indications for the treatment of sore throat, the drug relieves sore throat, swelling of the tonsils, and inflammation of the mucous membranes. Therefore, it is prescribed as part of complex therapy. Reviews from doctors and patients prove that the medicine effectively eliminates the main symptoms of the disease.

However, it is impossible to cure acute tonsillitis (tonsillitis) with Lizobact alone. It is used only as an aid. Additionally, you must take antimicrobial drugs and antibiotics prescribed by your doctor.

The drug will enhance the effect of antibiotics and speed up recovery.

The effectiveness of Lizobakt in the treatment of angina lies in the influence of two main active ingredients:

1. Pyridoxine hydrochloride is a form of vitamin B6.
2. Lysozyme hydrochloride, a natural enzyme found in saliva.

Additionally, the drug contains:

• sodium saccharide;
• vanillin;
• gum;
• magnesium stearate;
• lactose.

Pyridoxine activates the regeneration of the oral mucosa and stimulates metabolic processes. It is one of the active components of hemoglobin synthesis and regulation of amino acids. In its absence, blood circulation is disrupted and the pathogenic effect of the infection increases.

Lysozyme is normally found in saliva, breast milk, secretions of the nasopharyngeal mucosa and eye fluid. This substance is a natural enzyme of innate immunity. It has antiseptic, antimicrobial and antiviral properties. When the amount of lysozyme decreases, local functions decrease, bacteria become more active and provoke the development of the disease.

In this video, Dr. Phil will quickly tell you everything you need to know about sore throat:

Lysozyme is effective against gram-positive bacteria, viruses and fungi. Therefore, Lysobact is also used in dentistry.

Lysobact reaches its highest concentration in the body in an hour and a half. It is partially absorbed in the intestines, but most of it is excreted in the urine.

Lysobakt (patients sometimes mistakenly call it Lysobakt by analogy with the Ukrainian-language sound) is most effective when absorbed. This is due to the specificity of the action of lysozyme: it “works” only in the oral cavity.

The course of taking the medicine should not exceed 5 days, so as not to disturb the natural microflora of the mucous membrane. The dosage depends on the age, severity of the disease and physiological characteristics of the patient:

1. Adults are prescribed 2 tablets 3-4 times a day.
2. Children over 12 years of age are allowed an “adult” dosage.
3. A child over 7 years old is given 1 lozenge 4 times a day.
4. For children from 3 to 7 years old, the number of tablets should not exceed three per day.
5. Lizobact is considered a safe product. It is prescribed to pregnant and lactating women. However, the drug can pass into breast milk and through the placenta. There is not enough data on the effect of lysozyme on the fetus, so the medicine is taken only as prescribed by a doctor.

Lizobact is not prescribed to children under 3 years of age, as they are not able to understand the principle of resorption. However, you can crush the tablet and apply it to your child's pacifier or tonsils. Reviews indicate that this treatment has a positive effect on the course of sore throat in children.

Lizobakt has no special contraindications. Side effects include:

1. Allergic reactions: urticaria, rashes, itching, photosensitivity of the skin.
2. It is possible to increase the acidity of gastric juice if you take more than 30 mg of the drug per day.
3. Rarely - anaphylactic shock or reactions, Quincke's edema.
4. In case of overdose and long-term use (over 6 months), a deterioration in the functioning of the liver and kidneys is likely, as well as the development of peripheral sensory neuropathy - impaired motor functions. Symptoms disappear after discontinuation of the drug.
5. The product is not recommended for patients with lactose intolerance.

Reviews from patients say that side effects occur extremely rarely, most often when the dosage and method of administration are not followed.

Lysobact enhances the effect of antibiotics, including penicillin. However, it is poorly compatible with a number of medications for the treatment of rheumatoid diseases, tuberculosis and oral contraceptives. In addition, it reduces the activity of Levodopa (used for Parkinson's disease). For patients with these diseases, Lizobact is replaced with generics.

There are no direct analogues of Lizobakt. Generics are selected among other immunostimulating drugs that are similar in action or contain lysozyme.

Usually Lizobakt is replaced with Imudon, Grammidin or Faringosept. However, the principle of action and indications for these drugs differ.

Two drugs are most suitable for Lizobact:

1. Laripront: produced in Germany. The composition includes lysozyme and dequalinium chloride.
2. Hexalize: a drug from a French pharmacological company. In addition to lysozyme, it contains biclotymol and enoxolone.

Reviews show that both medications are inferior in price and effectiveness to Lizobact. So, on average, Laripront costs 225 rubles, and Hexaliz costs 300 rubles. While one package of Lizobakt costs 150 – 200 rubles, depending on the trade markups of a particular pharmacy.

Interesting video: what else is used to treat sore throat?

Lizobact is a popular remedy for the treatment of sore throat. It has an immunostimulating and antibacterial effect. It is prescribed not only for sore throat, but also for pharyngitis, stomatitis, gingivitis and ulcerative lesions of the oral mucosa. The drug has no analogues in terms of effectiveness and safety. The medicine is prescribed with caution to children under 3 years of age, pregnant and nursing mothers, as well as patients with lactose intolerance.

During acute tonsillitis (tonsillitis), as is known, the body's forces are mobilized, aimed at destroying pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, it would be nice, in addition to antibiotic therapy, gargling, and traditional methods of treatment, to “support” your body and improve its immune response by using immunomodulators. One of the most effective and popular representatives of this class of medications is Lizobact. Lizobact for angina not only has a pronounced local immunomodulatory effect, but also enhances the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy, which significantly speeds up the recovery process.

Why is it better to choose Lizobact for the treatment of sore throat?

1. Lyzobact tablets contain 2 active ingredients - lysozyme (normally contained in human saliva), pyridoxine (vitamin B6). Lysozyme has the ability to destroy pathogenic bacteria. And in case of infectious diseases of the oropharynx, the production of natural lysozyme is significantly reduced, which allows microorganisms to multiply. Therefore, the use of Lysobact in patients with pathology of the tonsillar apparatus is completely justified and advisable.
2. Under the influence of pathogenic microbes, the epithelial cells of the oropharynx are injured or die. In turn, pyridoxine, which is part of Lysobact, performs the regenerative (restorative) function of damaged epithelium by improving tissue metabolic processes.
3. The drug prevents the development of oral candidiasis.
4. The main advantage of Lysobact is that it reduces the toxic effect of systemic antibiotics, especially penicillins.
5. Most lozenges cannot be used by people with diabetes due to the sugar content. Lizobact contains sodium saccharinate (a glucose substitute), which makes it possible to use the drug by diabetics.
6. Lizobakt is quite affordable in financial terms and is available without a prescription.
7. The drug is non-toxic and is approved for use by pregnant and lactating women and children over 3 years of age.

What are the indications for prescribing the drug?

• sore throat;
• acute catarrhal, chronic tonsillitis;
• purulent sore throat;
• inflammation of the gums (gingivitis);
• inflammation of the oral mucosa (stomatitis);
• after surgical interventions in the oral cavity;
• erosions, ulcers in the oral cavity;
• fungal infections of the throat;
• for sore throat and cough caused by viruses or bacteria;
• acute inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract (pharyngitis, laryngitis).

Lizobact cannot be used in only one case - intolerance to the components of the drug, that is, the presence of allergic reactions (urticaria, Quincke's edema, anaphylactic shock) in the past.

Also, the drug is not recommended to be combined with rifampicin, isoniazid, glucocorticosteroids, cytostatics, estrogen-containing oral contraceptives, due to the inhibition of the activity of pyridoxine (the main component of Lysobact) and the rapid elimination of the drug from the body.

The drug tends to inhibit the activity of levodopa (tablets for the treatment of Parkinson's disease), so patients suffering from parkinsonism should replace Lyzobact with another drug with a similar pharmacological effect.

The drug is available only in tablet form.

The basic rule is to dissolve the tablet; it is advisable to keep the dissolved mass in the mouth for as long as possible until it is completely absorbed.

Under no circumstances should the tablet be simply swallowed, as the effectiveness of the drug will be reduced to zero.

As for dosage:

• children from 3 to 6 years old - 1 tablet 3 times a day;
• children from 7 to 12 years old - 1 tablet 4 times a day;
• children over 12 years of age and adults - 2 tablets 4 times a day.

The course of treatment for sore throat should not exceed 8 days.

And as usual, the golden rule during any drug treatment is to avoid alcohol.

Symptoms of overdose occur only when the dose is significantly exceeded (2, 3 times the permissible limit). The main and only signs of an overdose are tingling sensations and numbness in the upper and lower extremities. To avoid the progression of these symptoms, it is enough to drink plenty of water.

Due to the fact that the drug, which has a wide range of therapeutic effects, can be bought at any pharmacy without a prescription for a reasonable price, many patients prescribe non-existent advantages to it. For example:

1. Lizobakt has an immediate analgesic effect. Unfortunately, this is not the case - the medicine does not contain lidocaine, the main purpose of which is local anesthesia. Lizobakt relieves swelling and inflammation, improves metabolic processes and regeneration of tissues affected by the disease, so the analgesic effect occurs gradually, and not only due to the immunomodulator, but also other drugs used during angina.
2. Lysobakt is an antibiotic. Lysobact is able to destroy the cell wall of bacteria, thereby potentiating and improving the effectiveness of antibiotics. Therefore, Lizobact should not be used as the main treatment, since this will not lead to a cure for sore throat, but will only increase the risk of complications.
3. The drug can be prescribed to absolutely everyone, even children under 3 years of age. Lizobact really does not have any side effects, but there is no need to use it for everyone without a doctor’s prescription, especially when it comes to the 1st trimester of pregnancy. As for children under 3 years of age, due to physiological characteristics the child will not be able to dissolve the tablet; he will most likely simply swallow or chew it. And as mentioned above, the main rule for using the drug is its complete absorption in the oral cavity. Therefore, the drug will definitely not harm young children, but it will not give a positive effect either.

There are no absolute analogues in composition and spectrum of action. But still, for sore throat, pharyngitis, laryngitis and inflammatory processes of the upper respiratory tract, preparations containing lysozyme are excellent. For example, Hexalize tablets, Sebidin, Faringosept, Strepsis lozenges. These medications have antimicrobial, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, which allows them to be successfully used for diseases of the throat and oropharynx.

But it should be noted that the use of these drugs is prohibited for pregnant and lactating women and children under six years of age.

Lysobact (Lisobakt) is an antiseptic drug that is effective due to two active substances: Lysazim and Pyridoxine.

Lysozyme is a protein enzyme that is used as an antiseptic that has a destructive effect on gram-positive and -negative microorganisms, viruses and fungi of the genus Candida.

Pyridoxine – protects mucous membranes without affecting the effectiveness of Lysozyme. Thus, it provides a mild local effect of Lysobakt, from which it is safely used in the treatment of children, pregnant and lactating women. By the way, Lizobact is prescribed for children from 3 years of age, but in practice, doctors prescribe it from the age of one, if the child is able to hold a tablet in his mouth and not swallow it. Otherwise, if the child is not able to hold a tablet in his mouth even after 3 years, a spray with a similar effect is prescribed.

Lizobact is produced in the form of tablets that are white, sometimes with a yellowish tint, and also with a dividing strip in the middle of one side.

What are Lizobact tablets for?

Lysobact is used for local treatment of diseases:

1. oral cavity;
2. pharyngotracheitis and its annoying cough;
3. in particular, ulcers and erosions of the oral mucosa;
4. catarrhal diseases of the larynx;
5. damage by the herpes virus;
6. catarrhal diseases of the pharynx.

Also, in complex treatment, Lizobact is prescribed for sore throat and exacerbations of chronic tonsillitis.

Lizobact is contraindicated in cases of hereditary lactose intolerance. Also a contraindication is lactase deficiency, or a condition such as glucose-galactose malabsorption.

The use of Lyzobact for tonsillitis is prohibited if there is information about a possible allergic reaction to the components of the drug.

The drug has no side effects as such; the only effect remains the possibility of an allergic reaction, provided that it is taken simultaneously and there is no knowledge of personal intolerance to the components of the drug.

With the parallel use of Lysobact and penicillin antibiotics, as well as Nitrofurantoin, Chloramphenicol or diuretics, the effect of the latter is enhanced. But the effect of Levodopa is weakened. Oral estrogen contraceptives inhibit the effect of pyridoxine, so additional intake is required in an individual dosage prescribed by a doctor.

First aid for an allergic reaction.

Side effects, as well as an overdose of the drug, are unlikely, however, if numbness and tingling of the extremities, both lower and upper, changes in the sense of taste, skin rash, swelling of the throat occur, you need to stop taking Lizobact, increase the amount of fluid consumed, drink take an antihistamine or inject it, and be sure to seek help from a doctor.

Adults and children over 12 years of age are prescribed 2 tablets three times a day. The frequency of use can be adjusted by the attending physician depending on the individual characteristics of the disease and treatment.

The same drug can relieve cough due to pharyngitis and pharyngotracheitis, which is caused by mucus flowing down the back wall of the throat, formed as a consequence of the ongoing inflammatory process. The dosage, in this case, does not need to be adjusted.

The course of treatment usually needs to be continued for a week.

How to use?

When using Lizobact for a sore throat, you need to keep it in your mouth until completely dissolved, without chewing or drinking water. The tablet on or under the tongue melts to a puree-like mass, which is not recommended to be swallowed immediately, but to be kept in the mouth for as long as possible.

Lizobakt for children

Taking Lizobact in the treatment of children, as indicated above, is allowed from the age of 3. But, if a child can hold a tablet in his mouth, like a candy, pediatricians prescribe the drug at an earlier age.

Children aged 3 to 7 years are prescribed 1 tablet 3 times a day.

A child from 7 to 12 years old will need 2 tablets three times a day.

Description and instructions for the drug Lizobact

Lysobakt is a remedy that is used in dentistry and in the treatment of infectious and inflammatory ENT diseases. The medicine contains two components - lysozyme and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). The first substance is by its nature an enzyme that can destroy bacterial membranes. Thus, treatment with Lysobact has an antiseptic effect. Vitamin B6 improves the health of the mucous membranes, which, as a rule, suffer from infectious lesions. This remedy can be used in combination with other drugs and treatments.

Lizobakt is used for:

• Diseases of the oral mucosa - stomatitis, ulcerations, canker sores, herpes;
• Inflammation of the tongue;
• Infectious and inflammatory phenomena in the larynx;

Lizobact is produced in the form of tablets that should be dissolved. Depending on the patient's age and condition, he is prescribed different dosages of the medicine. For example, the instructions for the drug Lizobact indicate that patients over twelve years of age should take two tablets three or four times a day. Preschool children (from three years of age) are prescribed one tablet three times a day. And younger schoolchildren can receive the same dose, but four times a day.

After resorption of the tablet, you should not eat or drink for as long as possible. This will allow the drug to have maximum effect.

Lizobact is contraindicated for:

• Hereditary disorders of carbohydrate metabolism;
• Treatment of children in the first three years of life (due to the fact that they are not able to adequately use the medicine);
• Intolerance to the components of this product;

Side effects and overdose of Lyzobact

Using this drug may cause allergies. Its manifestations may include itching, rashes, and swelling of the mucous membrane. Such symptoms become a signal to stop treatment and discuss with your doctor the replacement of Lyzobact with another drug.

An overdose of this medicine is unlikely. However, if you take too high a dose of Lysobact, numbness and loss of sensation in the limbs are possible. To remove excess drug from the body, you need to drink plenty of fluids. Your doctor may prescribe diuretics.

Release form and composition of Lizobact

The form of the drug is lozenges with a sweetish taste.

The composition of the drug, as stated in the description, includes two active ingredients - lysozyme hydrochloride (a natural protective enzyme of the body) and pyridoxine hydrochloride (one of the variations of vitamin B6).

Additional components include:

• lactose monohydrate;

Which is better and more effective

In the absence of Lizobact in pharmacies, pharmacists often offer similar substitutes. Is it worth buying analogues? Let’s take a closer look.

Laripront or Lizobakt

The preparations contain lysozyme, but differ in auxiliary components. The drugs are very similar in their therapeutic effect, which allows them to be used as substitutes for each other. Laripront is safe for children and pregnant women. It has a more pronounced antibacterial effect, but, unlike Lysobact, does not promote the regeneration of affected mucosal cells in the mouth.

Laripront and Lizobakt are very similar in their action

Hexaliz or Lysobact

Hexaliz is similar to Lyzobact in its main action - it relieves inflammation, swelling, fights germs and viruses. According to the pricing policy, the product is much cheaper than the original. Therefore, it may be a good alternative for people who consider Lysobact an expensive drug.

Hexaliz is a more affordable drug than Lizobact

Lizobact or Faringosept

Faringosept is a powerful antiseptic that inhibits the growth of bacteria. The drug is most often used for diseases of the upper respiratory tract and, unlike Lysobakt, is ineffective in dentistry (for gingivitis, stomatitis). Faringosept has a faster effect than Lisobact, but does not affect the restoration of the mucous membrane and does not stimulate local immunity.

Faringosept is a powerful antiseptic drug

Lizobakt or Imudon

Imudon is a means to enhance immunity. The drug is not an antiseptic, so it is not recommended for use as an analogue of Lizobact. This substance is best used in combination with antibacterial and antiviral drugs.

Imudon will help strengthen the immune system

Lizobakt or Grammidin

Grammidin belongs to the group of strong antibiotics and is used against many pathogens that cause inflammation of the mouth, throat and upper respiratory tract. This drug is used when Lisobact turned out to be ineffective and did not give good results.

Grammidin is a strong antibiotic agent

Lizobakt or Tantum verde

Tantum verde is available in the form of an aerosol for spraying. The medicine has an antiseptic effect similar to Lyzobact, and is used in similar situations. The disadvantage of this product is the presence of alcohol in the spray, which is not desirable when treating children.

Tantum Verde contains alcohol

Important! Which drug is better is determined by the doctor based on the specific situation and disease. Therefore, when choosing an antimicrobial agent, it is better to first consult a doctor

Among antiseptic drugs, Lysobact is the safest medicine. It is widely used for inflammatory and erosive processes in the oral cavity, sore throat and diseases of the upper respiratory tract. The use of tablets should be in accordance with the instructions and only after consultation with a doctor. The same applies to analogues - you cannot replace Lizobact with alternative drugs without first consulting with a specialist.

Lizobakt or Tantum Verde

Tantum Verde belongs to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and accordingly is in a different clinical and pharmacological group in relation to Lysobact. The active ingredient is benzydamine hydrochloride (indazoles group).

Tantum Verde exhibits antiseptic, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties; unlike Lysobact, it also has an analgesic effect.

Indications for use are similar to Lyzobakt, with the addition of phenylketonuria to the contraindications.

Reception in adults, children, pregnant and lactating women is identical to Lizobact. The course of treatment with Tantum Verde can be extended to 15 days, sometimes up to 25 days.

When taking Tantum Verde, adverse reactions are more common: skin rash, numbness, dryness, burning in the mouth. Laryngospasm is extremely rare in children.

The price of Tantum Verde tablets (20 pieces) is around 270 rubles.

Here we looked in detail at Tantum Verde and its cheap analogues.

Conclusion

Another analogue of Lizobact is Miramistin. Although it is not cheap, it is very effective, we wrote about it here.

Treatment of diseases of the oral cavity may seem simple at first glance, and there are a lot of anti-inflammatory drugs, so it is difficult for the average person to understand such an offer from pharmaceutical companies.

Of course, it is necessary to study the instructions for use, and doctors sometimes make mistakes, but in most cases do not purchase products and their analogues in pharmacies yourself, remember, information on the Internet, like our article, is only the elimination of illiteracy in medical matters.

For yourself, before buying medications, remember this simple algorithm: consultation with a doctor (obtaining a list of medications for treatment) - pharmacy - study the instructions - purchase the drug, and be healthy!

Indications for use

The official instructions for the drug inform patients that it is recommended to take the drug for the following pathologies:

• Gingivitis (inflammation of the gums). You can identify this disease yourself: it is characterized by redness, swelling, soreness of the gums, bleeding when brushing your teeth;
• Stomatitis (inflammatory processes on the oral mucosa). Characterized by the appearance of areas of hyperemia and soreness of the mucous membrane, white painful plaques, layers;
• Herpetic stomatitis in the oral cavity. With this lesion, several or a large number of white, painful plaques appear on the mucous membrane;
• Erosion (superficial lesions) of the oral mucosa;
• Inflammatory processes in the upper respiratory tract, which are characterized by the occurrence of catarrhal exudation.

Does Lysobact help with cough? Yes! With inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, the resulting exudate causes a cough, as well as a sore throat. Another reason for the appearance of such symptoms is swelling of the soft tissues of the nasopharynx and oropharynx. Therefore, Lizobakt promotes the rapid disappearance of these manifestations of the disease, which means cough.

Many people have a question about whether it is possible to take the drug for sore throat? The answer is yes. Sore throat is nothing more than viral or bacterial tonsillitis and taking Lysobact will promote a speedy recovery. Often this drug is prescribed in combination with antiviral or antibacterial agents aimed at etiotropic treatment.

But you cannot rely only on an immunomodulator in cases of serious infections, because the body’s natural reserves are clearly not enough. Therefore, be sure to take medications prescribed by your doctor and having an etiotropic effect.

Side effects and contraindications Lizobakt

• any diseases of the oral mucosa;
• stomatitis, including aphthous;
• tonsillitis;
• tonsillitis;
• pharyngitis;
• laryngitis;

The use of Lizobakt is contraindicated against the background of:

1. Hypersensitivity to active substances (lysozyme and pyridoxine) and auxiliary components.
2. Hereditary lactose intolerance.

In pediatrics, the medication is prescribed from the age of three.

The drug is also prescribed for Vincent's angina, laryngitis, chronic and acute tonsillitis, pharyngitis and in the postoperative period (after cryodestruction of the tonsils, tonsillectomy).

Overdose

Symptoms of overdose may occur after using Lysobact in doses exceeding therapeutic doses. This is mainly a feeling of tingling or numbness, as well as a short-term loss of sensation in the arms and legs.

Treatment is symptomatic: drinking plenty of fluids (forced diuresis).

Contraindications:

• hypersensitivity to the components of Lyzobact;
• hereditary lactose intolerance, lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption;
• children under 3 years of age.

For clinical indications during pregnancy and breastfeeding, the use of the drug is possible after consulting a doctor. In general, Lizobact during pregnancy is a recommended drug that has a detrimental effect on infectious pathogens, an anti-inflammatory effect on the mucous membrane, but does not have a damaging effect on the fetus or the general condition of the pregnant woman.

Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding It is possible to use Lizobact according to indications during pregnancy and lactation (breastfeeding).

What is Lizobact used for? {q} According to the instructions, the drug is used in the following cases:

• inflammation of the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract;
• erosion of the oral mucosa of various origins;
• gingivitis;
• aphthous ulcerations;
• complex therapy of herpetic lesions of the oral cavity;
• stomatitis.

Imudon - is it a good replacement?

It is important to know that only Lyzobact contains an ensemble of lysozyme (muramidase) and pyridoxine. Although there are quite a few analogues for topical use for various diseases of the mucous membrane of the mouth, nose and throat

They are quite similar in properties and have a similar effect.

Imudon is an anti-inflammatory and anti-infective medicine. Helps increase lysozyme, immunoglobulin IgA, interferon in human saliva, which activate the body's immune responses. However, it contains a complex of lyophilized bacteria that cause infections in the ears, nose and throat. These microorganisms are inactive in the preparation. However, women who are pregnant or during breastfeeding are not allowed to use the medication.

In addition to Imudon and Lizobact, there are many other medications in the form of absorbable tablets. They also contain antibacterial substances. For example, Gramidin, Chlorophyllipt, Coldact, Faringosept or Septefril. They contain a disinfectant of plant or synthetic origin. But none of the above medications can compare with the immunostimulating effect of Lyzobact or Imudon.

Both of these medicines have a fairly reasonable price, are easy to use and are of very high quality. The price varies from 300 to 400 rubles. In general, Lizobact, whose composition has minor advantages, occupies a position not much higher than Imudon.

However, the right to choose a drug remains with the specialist. After all, it is the doctor who is based not on the price, but on the patient’s condition, general examination and tests.

It is important to remember that self-medication can lead to serious consequences.

Composition and properties of the drug

The drug "Lizobakt" is included in the group of antiseptic and antibacterial drugs for topical use. The medication has a protective and anti-inflammatory effect and is a natural immunomodulator. It contains:

• salivary enzyme lysozyme, the action of which is aimed at destroying many pathogens (viruses, fungi, bacteria) and increasing the body’s resistance to them, that is, strengthening local immunity;
• vitamin B6, or pyridoxine, which heals and protects the mucous membranes of the mouth;
• excipients - gum, lactose, vanillin, sodium saccharinate, magnesium stearate.

Thanks to these components, not only high efficiency is achieved, but also the safety of the drug. That is why the medicine “Lizobakt” is prescribed quite often for children.

About the features

According to reviews, “Lizobact” is a local drug. It is sold in pharmacies without a prescription. This remedy can be prescribed to a person of absolutely any age category. Doctors call it a first aid item, since it can be used at the first manifestation of a particular symptom of an illness in the oral cavity and pharynx. For pregnant women who find it extremely difficult to choose a safe, but at the same time effective drug, it serves as an excellent salvation during the period of infections. This is confirmed by the instructions and reviews for Lizobakt.

It should be taken after meals, or rather in between meals. Children, depending on their age, are given one tablet three to four times a day, and adults - two. In this case, the tablet must be dissolved properly. If swallowed normally, the drug will not be as effective as if the tablet is dissolved in the mouth. This medicine is absolutely safe for pregnant women. If the patient is allergic to protein, then taking this medication is contraindicated due to the presence of this substance in its composition.

This is confirmed by the instructions and reviews for the product “Lizobakt”.

Other popular cheap analogues of lysobact

For pregnant and lactating women, even the most harmless medications should be prescribed only by a doctor. But, I would like to note, if you scroll through the forums where expectant mothers correspond, among all the advice on treating inflammation of the pharynx, the leading positions are occupied by Lizobact and herbal medicine.

Also, before purchasing certain analogues, there are questions to doctors about purchasing the best product. Let's consider several cases.

What analogues are there?

There is no drug identical to Lyzobact in all respects, including contraindications and side effects, but there are drugs close to it, which are considered to be analogues.

Lyzobact analogues.

Laripront

The medicine is produced in Germany and Egypt, and Egyptian products are often sold in domestic pharmacies. The active ingredients are dequalinium chloride and lysozyme hydrochloride. The instructions for use do not contain dosage instructions, so this drug should not be taken without a doctor’s prescription.

Hexalize

This medication is different in that it contains, in addition to lysozyme, biclotemol and enoxolone. Tablets are sold in packs of 30 pieces and are produced in France. Hexalize cannot be called a cheap analogue: its price is on average 20 rubles. lower compared to Lizobact. This medicine is prescribed to children strictly after 6 years of age.

Other analogues

The following drugs are similar in pharmacological properties:

• Agisept;
• Faringosept;
• Grammidin;
• Hexoral tabs;
• Falimint;
• Septolete;
• Sebidin.

All of the medications listed are available in tablets.

In addition to them, for throat diseases, medication therapy can be carried out in other dosage forms, including sprays, throat and mouth rinses, aerosols, and solutions for washing the mucous membrane.

List of inexpensive and safe means:

• mouthwash Malavit;
• soluble tablets Furacilin;

Kameton

“Cameton” is also an aerosol that has an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect. "Cameton" is a combination drug that is used during exacerbations of chronic diseases of the nose and pharynx. It is not recommended for use in children under five years of age, as well as for those who have hypersensitivity to any components of the drug. The cost of "Kameton" is lower compared to "Lizobact". So, you can buy it in pharmacies for seventy-five rubles. Reviews confirm this.

These are not all analogues of “Lizobakt”.

What does Lizobakt help with?

When studying the medication, it is worth noting that it provides several actions on the body at the same time.

• Prevents the causative factor of pain in the throat;
• has a wide range of effects on viral, fungal, bacterial elements;
• promotes the full preservation of beneficial microflora;
• speeds up the healing process.

These are not all conditions for taking Lizobact, which the composition helps with - will be studied further. Human saliva contains a natural enzyme called lysozyme. It acts as a kind of rapid response system that helps neutralize the cause of the inflammatory process. However, its quantity may be insufficient under the influence of several factors. They relate, first of all, to stress, overwork, and cold. Therefore, the body is not able to withstand numerous attacks on its own. In this regard, the body may consume additional substances. And the given tablets contain it.

They help fight any throat diseases, and their action is aimed at improving immune function. Two natural components included in the composition - pyridoxine and lysozyme, act as the main substances of the drug

It is important to know how to take it in order to achieve a positive therapeutic effect. It is also worth considering several conditions for which taking medication is relevant

• infectious and inflammatory processes in the area of ​​the oral mucosa;
• pathologies such as stomatitis, gingivitis;
• catarrhal diseases in the upper respiratory tract;
• presence of ulcerations;
• hermetic lesions (the drug is applicable in complex treatment);
• manifestation of erosions on the mucous membranes of the oral cavity.

The price of tablets is low and ranges from 298 rubles per package of the drug

However, before starting treatment, it is important to take into account all the limitations. They consist in the hypersensitivity of the patient and the childhood period up to three years. You should also refrain from taking the medication if you have a hereditary inability to tolerate lactose.

You should also refrain from taking the medication if you have a hereditary inability to tolerate lactose.

Lizobact contraindications

According to the instructions for use of the medicine, it is known that it is prohibited to use it if the absorption and digestion of certain carbohydrates is impaired.

The drug cannot be used for lactose intolerance (hypolactasia) - a disorder in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, which is characterized by complete or partial intolerance of lactose.

Lactase deficiency is also a contraindication to the use of Lysobact (a disease characterized by the inability of a child or adult’s body to digest milk sugar due to insufficient production of the lactase enzyme in the intestines).

In case of glucose-galactose malabsorption, it is forbidden to take medicine (impaired functioning of the digestive tract in the digestion, movement and absorption of nutrients). In addition, it is not recommended to use the medication if:

1. Individual intolerance to drug substances.
2. Children under three years of age.

Before starting therapy, it is necessary to ensure that the patient has no contraindications to Lizobact.

How to carry out treatment correctly

The tablets should never be chewed or swallowed whole: then they will be useless. They should be absorbed.

In what dosages should adults and children take lysobact tablets? Instructions for use contain the following recommendations:

• For adolescents (over 12 years old) and adults, the drug is prescribed 2 tablets. from 3 to 4 r. per day;
• For school-age patients (from 7 to 12 years), 1 tablet is sufficient. 4 rub. in a day;
• Young children are allowed to be treated with Lyzobact (after consultation with a doctor) from the age of 3. In this case, the following scheme is used: 1 table. in 3 doses.

Although the medicine does not pose a danger to children under 3 years of age, it is not used for this category of patients, since it is impossible to explain to them the correct principle of its use. After all, if a child chews a pill, it will not bring any benefit.

For sore throat

For tonsillitis, this is only an auxiliary treatment that can be prescribed simultaneously with antibiotics. The price of the tablets is affordable, and the result of the prescribed conservative therapy will pleasantly please you within 2-3 days. Lysobact prescribed for angina accelerates the destruction of pathogenic flora, while promoting the restoration of the affected mucous membrane. One package is enough to ensure positive dynamics of a characteristic ailment.

How is Lizobact taken? A single dose of medicine for sore throat is 2 pills, dissolved up to 4-5 times a day. Do not drink with water and do not combine with meals. The instructions for use indicate that the course of intensive therapy is determined by an otolaryngologist, but on average treatment can last up to 2 weeks. Lysobact, or rather its active components, penetrate into the systemic bloodstream in small concentrations. They adapt imperceptibly in the body, the metabolic process is observed in the liver, while inactive metabolites are excreted by the kidneys.

Negative characteristics of Lizobact

Let's start with the fact that there are very few of them. Still, the majority notes that this medicine really works. There are few who gave the product a big minus and noted that it did not help at all. Most note only a few shortcomings associated with the use of the medicine, here they are:

• There are those who do not like the taste of the product, although many note that it is quite acceptable and not unpleasant. The fact is that the tablets themselves are very sweet and cloying. Some people like it and some don't.
• For severe sore throats, the drug can be used as an additional treatment to the main treatment. By itself it doesn't help much.

These are the negative reviews. "Lizobakt", however, has proven itself to be good among medical workers, you must agree - this is a significant plus in its piggy bank. And you can tolerate the taste of the medicine, even if you don’t like sweets too much.

General information about the drug

Opinions

Oddly enough, many people are skeptical about this drug, considering it useless, which is unlikely to help cure the diagnosed disease. As a rule, this opinion is erroneous, since with the right approach, “Lizobact” has demonstrated increased effectiveness in eliminating a number of diseases, and numerous reviews confirm this.

But not all patients respond positively to the drug, since there is also a category of people who consider such treatment ineffective. But all the people interviewed came to the conclusion that there is no exacerbation of side effects in most cases, which is already a positive thing.

As a result, we can come to the conclusion that the effect of “Lizobact” is selective and, as a rule, depends on the correctly selected treatment regimen. Only competent treatment will help eliminate the disturbing disease with the help of this drug.

In case of infectious and inflammatory lesions of the ENT organs, doctors recommend promptly resorting to conservative treatment. Lysobact's abstract states that this medication is a powerful antiseptic that productively kills pathogenic flora, relieves sore throats, and accelerates recovery.

Lizobact - instructions

The medication is available in the form of lozenges, relieves anxiety symptoms and provides a gentle, targeted effect on the site of pathology. If the patient is prescribed Lyzobact, the instructions must be studied first. The drug is prescribed equally for children and adults, and has a number of equally effective analogues. Before starting a treatment course, be sure to talk with your doctor and study the instructions for use.

According to its pharmacological characteristics, it is a local antiseptic that destroys pathogenic microorganisms of a bacterial nature. The chemical composition of Lyzobact combines two active components - lysozyme hydrochloride (20 mg) and pyridoxine hydrochloride (20 mg). The first is an enzyme that disrupts the integrity of the membranes of dangerous microorganisms; the second is vitamin B6, necessary for the productive restoration of damaged mucous membranes. The active components are distinguished by hypoallergenic properties, but in the presence of allergic reactions it is recommended to replace Lizobact with an analogue.

Lizobact - application

The drug is an important component of successful conservative therapy for most ailments of ENT practice. If a doctor prescribes the drug Lizobact, the indications for use may be as follows, reflected in the instructions:

• stomatitis;
• herpes;
• gingivitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis;
• formation of aphthae on the mucous membrane;
• sinusitis of catarrhal form;
• erosive lesions of the mucous membrane;
• inflammatory processes of the gums and larynx.

Since antibiotics are prohibited during pregnancy, local antiseptics can be used, which are no less effective in practice. The enzyme lysozyme destroys the structure of the pathogenic infection, but does not penetrate the placental barrier and does not harm intrauterine development. Lizobact is prescribed to pregnant women under the supervision of a specialist; correction of daily dosages according to the instructions is possible. There are no restrictions throughout the entire period of gestation, side effects are minimal.

Composition and mechanism of action

Lyzobakt includes two main components:

• Lysozyme is a natural enzyme.
• Pyridoxine hydrochloride is a vitamin.

One tablet of the drug contains 20 mg of lysozyme, which is several times higher than its usual content in saliva, and 10 mg of vitamin B6. This combination contributes to a well-coordinated antiseptic and immunomodulatory effect.

What is important for children: the medicine should have only a local effect, be a natural antiseptic, and increase local immunity. Lizobakt for children copes with this perfectly. It dissolves the membrane of not only gram-positive, but also gram-negative bacteria. This mechanism is in many ways similar to the action of antibiotics, but much safer. Lysobakt copes even with bacteria that are resistant to other influences.

Lysobact creates uncomfortable conditions for viruses and fungi, fulfilling the important mission of maintaining the balance of microflora in the mouth. When this delicate balance is disrupted, the level of endogenous lysozyme sharply decreases and local immunity decreases. A favorable environment is extremely important for beneficial microorganisms, then they multiply and suppress pathogenic strains, which reduces the risk of infection in the future. This is the immunomodulatory and preventive effect of Lyzobact for children.

Pyridoxine in the medicine is a vitamin that promotes the regeneration of the oral mucosa and prevents the formation of ulcers. Both components stimulate salivation and complement each other, enhancing the anti-inflammatory effect.

Drug analogues

Lizobakt has no absolute analogues in composition and principle of action. If the patient has a sore throat, laryngitis and other inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract, it is permissible to use products with lysozyme. These include Hexalize, Faringosept, Strepsils. These agents have similar anti-inflammatory, immunostimulating, and antimicrobial effects. They can be used for throat diseases, including sore throat.

But when using Lyzobact analogues, you need to understand that most of them are contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation. Such drugs are prohibited from being used to treat manifestations of tonsillitis in children under six years of age.

When is the use of Lizobact contraindicated?

The following circumstances are contraindications to the use of Lyzobact:

• all cases of lactose intolerance, including hereditary lactase deficiency and glucose/galactose malabsorption;
• intolerance or individual hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients of the pharmaceutical product;
• the patient belongs to the age group up to three years.

If a patient has at least one of these conditions, the drug should not be used.

Reviews from doctors about "Lizobakt"

Sufficiently high efficiency within the framework of proper use is the reason for the huge number of positive patient reviews about the drug “Lizobakt”.

However, it should be understood that this medicine is not a panacea at all. This is evidenced by the numerous reviews of people about “Lizobact” found on forums, which sometimes question its pharmacological activity.

According to reviews from both specialists and parents, it is an original and effective remedy for the treatment of viral diseases of the oral cavity. As parents write, this medicine is absolutely harmless in the treatment of children, provided there are no allergic reactions, and, in addition, is well suited for children. Reviews of Lizobakt can be found online.

To ensure that various positive or negative comments do not mislead readers, you should be guided by the following information:

• "Lizobakt" is not capable of providing an immediate analgesic effect for tonsillitis, as, for example, "Cameton" or "Inhalipt" can do.
• It is not an antibiotic, as some people who do not have a medical education claim in their reviews. The action and composition of this pharmaceutical product are fundamentally different from the functions of antibiotics. In the case of generalized infections, when a sore throat and cough are accompanied by fever, as well as negative changes in blood tests, etc., an antibiotic will definitely not be able to replace it.
• Antibiotics also cannot be replaced if the patient has a weakened immune system. In such a situation, it will be necessary to add immunomodulatory drugs to the treatment. "Lizobact" during pregnancy in the 1st trimester (according to reviews from doctors and patients) is absolutely safe.

Drug for the treatment of sore throat

Lizobact for angina is prescribed in complex therapy. It is used practically for any type of disease. Treatment of purulent sore throat is supplemented by taking antibiotics.

Lozenges based on lysozyme and pyridoxine relieve swelling and sore throat. They are great help when plugs with pus form in the almond cavities.

Although it is not an antitussive, it reduces cough attacks, eliminating the discomfort that causes them.

The therapeutic effect consists of suppressing inflammation caused by infections of various natures and destroying bacteria. The antioxidant protection of the throat mucosa is also enhanced. The drug restores damaged cells in the oral cavity.

In addition, it is an excellent immunomodulator, which is especially important in the treatment of sore throat when the immune system is weakened.

It should be said that you should not expect immediate relief when using the tablets, but after a few days a positive effect on the body is observed: the sore throat decreases, damage to the mucous membrane heals.

For what kind of sore throat is the drug effective?

Lysobact is a natural antibiotic that copes well with many pathogens.
However, monotherapy with Lyzobact will be ineffective for purulent tonsillitis. In this case, it is advisable to take antibacterial drugs, and Lyzobact can only supplement therapy. The drug Lizobact has the following therapeutic effect:

• Protects cells from oxidation and aging.
• It has a detrimental effect on pathogenic bacteria, destroying the protein shell.
• Promotes rapid restoration of damaged cells.
• Promotes the release of muramyl dipeptide, which is a natural stimulator of the immune response.
• Eliminates inflammation that often accompanies bacterial and viral infections.

There are no analogues of Lyzobact in composition, so it is impossible to replace it with an equivalent drug . But if there is an allergy to the drug, it should be replaced with other antiseptics with a similar effect.

Lizobact can be used for acute tonsillitis only as part of complex therapy. This drug enhances the effect of antibiotics.

The drug "Strepsils"

This antiseptic drug is made in the form of lozenges. "Strepsils" is a combined product for topical use that has antimicrobial and antifungal effects. Unlike Lizobakt, Strepsils does not contain sugar, so patients with diabetes can safely take it. This drug should not be prescribed to children who have not yet reached the age of five. The price in city pharmacies for Strepsils ranges from one hundred fifty to two hundred rubles.

Many people who took “Lizobact” for individual treatment, or for the purpose of auxiliary therapy during a child’s illness, noted its effectiveness, as well as safety. In addition, when used, a prolonged effect of “Lizobact” is observed, since when the tablets are dissolved, the particles of the drug are not immediately washed away by saliva, remaining for some time in the oral cavity, which explains the duration of the drug’s functioning.

But, despite this, all of the above analogues of “Lizobakt” can also help with the occurrence of symptoms and pain in the throat. But in any case, as part of taking a particular drug, consultation with your doctor is advisable.

Lizobakt in the treatment of tonsillitis

If a sore throat occurs, Lizobact is often prescribed as a complex therapy. This remedy can treat tonsillitis of any form: purulent, viral, catarrhal. The drug acts as an additional therapy when using antibiotics and antivirals.

Tablets can quickly eliminate swelling of the mucous membrane of the mouth and throat, which often happens with laryngitis. For tonsillitis, the drug makes it possible to shrink tonsils and restore breathing. Pain in the throat and soreness disappear both in the initial stages of the disease and in the later stages.

Lysobact can be safely used for chronic laryngitis or tonsillitis. The active ingredients are not addictive and do not affect the body in any way. Although Lysobact is not an antitussive medication, its use can significantly reduce coughing attacks and eliminate discomfort.

The healing property is based on the suppression of the inflammatory process, which is caused by infections of various types. Lizobact is also able to enhance antioxidant protection in the mucous membrane of the throat. The active substance perfectly restores damaged tissue.

In addition to all this, Lyzobakt allows you to increase immune function in children and adults.

Restrictions

When treating inflammatory diseases, any limiting factors must be taken into account. The instructions for use of the drug Lizobact state that it is contraindicated in case of individual intolerance to any of the components. People with lactase deficiency and gastric ulcers are also not recommended to use lozenges.

Treat with caution during pregnancy and breastfeeding. In addition, it is better not to use the drug in combination with other antiseptics or pyridoxine.

Lyzobact is a drug based on lysozyme and vitamin B6, which is widely used in ENT practice and dentistry for the treatment of infectious pathologies affecting the mucous membrane. It has antimicrobial properties and increases nonspecific resistance at the local level. But the therapy must be prescribed by a doctor, because it is he who determines the need for a particular remedy for each patient.

Recommendations for use

To use Lizobact for angina, you need to know the specifics of taking the medicine.

You should not self-medicate a sore throat. It is important to consult with a doctor, because with this disease (its various types), lozenges alone are not enough.

Treatment with the drug must be accompanied by antibiotic therapy. To eliminate symptoms, medications with analgesic and antipyretic effects are prescribed.

Undesirable consequences of use may include allergies. Then the use of the tablets is stopped, and it is recommended to treat a sore throat with another remedy.

In case of overdose, which is possible as a result of a significant excess of the dose, numbness of the hands and feet and loss of sensitivity are observed. To combat such consequences, drinking plenty of fluids is recommended.

Since children under three years of age do not understand the principle of taking medicine, experts may advise crushing one piece, coating a pacifier with the resulting powder, and giving it to the child.

Some additional information for treating your children:

These tablets are not an antibiotic and do not replace them. Treatment of angina includes antibiotics, so they are prescribed in complex treatment.

How to use the medicine

To increase the therapeutic effect of taking the drug, you must adhere to the dosage and number of uses per day.

1. For children under three years of age, the drug has no contraindications, however, it should be taken into account that it is difficult to explain to a small child that the tablet must be dissolved. If you simply chew or swallow it, the therapeutic effect will be significantly reduced.

2. Children from three to seven years old can take one tablet three times a day.

3. Up to twelve years of age, the amount of daily intake increases to four times a day.

4. Starting from the age of twelve, two pieces are prescribed (from two to four times a day). The same dose should be taken by adults.

5. Pregnant women can use this product, since there is no negative effect on the fetus when taking it; there are no harmful chemical compounds. During pregnancy, tablets are prescribed in the same dosage as for adults.

6. The period of breastfeeding is also not a contraindication. Adult dosage is observed.

7. The course of treatment is on average eight days.

8. When dissolving, it is important to keep the tablet dissolved in saliva in the oral cavity as long as possible.

General description of the drug

The active substances of Lyzobact are lysozyme and pyridoxine.
The composition also contains magnesium stearate, lactose, vanilla, gum and other substances. Lysozyme is an antibacterial protein agent, the action of which is based on the destruction of the protein structures of pathogenic microorganisms. This substance is found in human saliva and is involved in the formation of local immunity.

If the infection has penetrated the mucous membrane of the palatine tonsils, then the production of this substance is significantly reduced or stops altogether. Due to this, local immunity is noticeably reduced. That is why Lyzobact is prescribed for tonsillitis; it helps improve local immunity and speeds up recovery.

Pyridoxine protects damaged pharyngeal tissues and promotes their rapid recovery. Pyridoxine is a form of vitamin B, therefore it participates in metabolic processes and helps restore the mucous membrane. This substance does not affect the properties of lysozyme at all.

The maximum concentration in the blood is reached one and a half hours after administration. The drug is excreted by the intestines and kidneys.

With a lack of pyridoxine in the body, there is a loss of strength, poor circulation and a depressive state. In addition, hair may begin to fall out and cracks may appear in the corners of the mouth.

"Hexalize"

"Hexalize" is a product in the form of tablets, which has a combined composition. This medicine has antimicrobial and antiviral, and, in addition, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects on the human body. These tablets should be sucked until they are completely dissolved. You cannot increase the daily dose, which is six, maximum eight tablets per day, as this can provoke a violation of the microflora of the oral cavity. The likelihood of adverse reactions, as with treatment with Lysobact, may manifest itself in the form of allergic rashes. When using Hexalyse, it is not advisable to use other medications intended for the oral cavity in parallel. This is confirmed by the instructions for use and reviews. "Lizobakt" is used in the same way. The cost of the drug "Hexaliz" is two hundred and sixty rubles for thirty tablets.

Drug interactions

The drug Lizobakt is characterized by interaction with the following pharmaceuticals:

Contraindications for use

Taking Lizobact during the treatment of sore throat is not always justified. This medicine is not prescribed if there is an individual intolerance to its components. It is undesirable to combine these antibacterial tablets with certain other drugs:

• medications used to treat Parkinson's disease,
• rifampicin,
• glucocorticosteroid drugs,
• isoniazid,
• oral contraceptives,
• cytostatics.

Such a combination can reduce the effectiveness of the drugs used, which can lead to undesirable consequences. Therefore, before undergoing therapy, it is necessary to familiarize the doctor with the list of medications used.

Comparison of drugs Lizobact and Grammidin

These medications have different compositions and similar antiseptic activity. At the same time, Grammidin belongs to the category of antibiotics, and the drug Lizobakt belongs to standard antiseptics.

Lysobact is less active against pathogenic microorganisms, so Grammidin is more effective.

However, Lizobact tablets can be used during lactation and pregnancy, because they have a safer composition.

Indications

The use of the drug is indicated for infectious and inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity and larynx:

1. Gingivitis (inflammatory lesion of the gum mucosa, which is characterized by swelling and redness, as well as bleeding when eating).
2. Stomatitis (oral disease, which is an inflammation that appears on the tongue, as well as the gums and inner surface of the cheeks).
3. Infectious disease of the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory organs.
4. Tonsillitis (an infectious lesion, the leading symptom of which is acute or chronic inflammation in the tonsils).
5. Oral candidiasis (an infectious disease caused by yeast fungi of the genus Candida).
6. Complex treatment of herpetic diseases of the oral mucosa (a viral disease with a characteristic rash of grouped blisters on the skin and mucous membranes).

In addition, the drug "Lizobakt" is used for various lesions of the oral mucosa, including aphthous stomatitis.

What medicinal properties does the drug have?

"Lizobakt" has an antiseptic effect, which is due to the active elements included in its structure:

1. Lysozyme is a protein enzyme contained in the secretions of mucous cavities; it leads to the destruction of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as fungal cells and viruses. The substance is involved in the formation of immunity of the mucous membranes of the patient’s body.
2. Pyridoxine has a protective effect on the oral mucosa and does not affect lysozyme.

There is currently no information on possible absorption, as well as distribution, exchange and excretion of the active components of Lyzobact.

Imudon is a drug aimed at activating one’s own immunity. Due to this, the body influences pathogenic microbes. It is difficult to say which is better Lizobakt or Imudon. Doctors equally use both drugs in the fight against sore throat. But, it is worth noting that if a person needs quick and effective help with inflammation, it is better to use Lizobact, and as a preventive measure for frequent occurrences of mucous membrane ailments, Imudon.

Grammidin is another medicine that helps cope with sore throat. The drug contains Grammidin C, which is a polypeptide antibiotic, and therefore is able to cope with sore throat caused by the spread of bacteria. The composition of the drugs is different and so is the ability to stop the disease. The use of Grammidin in children is permissible only from 4 years of age.

Laripront - has a wide pharmacological effect. It is an antiviral, antifungal and antiseptic drug. Able to fight many types of germs, bacteria and fungi that cause sore throat. The downside of the drug is its frequent use. You need to take tablets every 3 hours.

Speaking about Lizobact analogues, we must not forget that the drug is not recommended for use alone. Only together with stronger drugs can it have a significant effect in the treatment of sore throat. It is better to leave the choice of analogues to the attending physician, so as not to harm the body and not cause a negative reaction.

Lysobact refers to a drug that has immunomodulatory and therapeutic properties for diseases of the throat, larynx and oral mucosa. But can Lizobact help with sore throat? Who is it prescribed to and is it effective?

Lizobact is one of the medications that is sold in tablet form. It is often prescribed for throat diseases of varying degrees. Lysobact does not have a strong antimicrobial effect, but is often used as a complex therapy.

Lisobact is often prescribed to children and women during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The thing is that the constituent components do not affect the body in any way, since they do not penetrate into the general bloodstream. The drug acts directly on the inflamed area.

The main components of the drug are pyridoxine hydrochloride and lysozyme hydrochloride. The composition also includes auxiliary components in the form of vanillin, sodium saccharinate, magnesium stearate, gum and lactose.

The action of lysomycin is to act on gram-positive bacteria from the inside. In addition, the medication has antiseptic properties, due to which it destroys fungal and viral infections. Also helps improve immune function.

The second active component in the form of pyridoxine has a protective effect, thereby preventing the development of candidiasis and stomatitis. After taking Lizobact, it reaches full concentration within an hour and a half. Some of the components are absorbed by the intestines, and others by the kidneys.

Lizobakt allows you to get rid of a sore throat in a few hours. After use, the patient feels relief the next day. Not only the feeling of pain disappears, but also soreness, hoarseness, hoarseness and swelling of the tissues.

The main indications include:

• erosion of the oral mucosa;
• herpetic lesions of the oral mucosa;
• stomatitis;
• gingivitis.

In addition to all this, tablets are prescribed for laryngitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, as well as after surgical interventions. On the recommendation of Dr. Lizobakt for angina is prescribed during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

It is not recommended to take the medication if you are hypersensitive to the components of the drug. You should also not use Lysobact if you have hereditary lactose intolerance.

In addition, the consumption of this drug is contraindicated in children under three years of age and in patients who suffer from malabsorption.

If a sore throat occurs, Lizobact is often prescribed as a complex therapy. This remedy can treat tonsillitis of any form: purulent, viral, catarrhal. The drug acts as an additional therapy when using antibiotics and antivirals.

Tablets can quickly eliminate swelling of the mucous membrane of the mouth and throat, which often happens with laryngitis. For tonsillitis, the drug makes it possible to shrink tonsils and restore breathing. Pain in the throat and soreness disappear both in the initial stages of the disease and in the later stages.

Lysobact can be safely used for chronic laryngitis or tonsillitis. The active ingredients are not addictive and do not affect the body in any way. Although Lysobact is not an antitussive medication, its use can significantly reduce coughing attacks and eliminate discomfort.

The healing property is based on the suppression of the inflammatory process, which is caused by infections of various types. Lizobact is also able to enhance antioxidant protection in the mucous membrane of the throat. The active substance perfectly restores damaged tissue.

In addition to all this, Lyzobakt allows you to increase immune function in children and adults.

Instructions for use of Lyzobakt indicate that the drug can be given to children over three, women during pregnancy and breastfeeding. But in order to achieve a good therapeutic effect, you should adhere to some rules of administration.

1. It is worth noting that children under three years of age are not an absolute contraindication. But to achieve the desired effect, the tablet must be dissolved. If it is simply chewed or swallowed, the effect will be greatly reduced.
2. A child from three to seven years old is advised to take one tablet up to three times a day.
3. Children from seven to twelve years old are allowed to take four tablets per day.
4. Adults and adolescents are prescribed two tablets three to four times a day.
5. The product can also be used during pregnancy, since the active ingredients do not penetrate the placenta and do not affect the unborn baby in any way. The dosage per day is one or two tablets up to three times a day.
6. The medication can be used during breastfeeding, since its components do not pass into milk. The dosage per day is one or two tablets up to three times a day.

The duration of the treatment course for all patients is from seven to ten days. It all depends on the severity of the disease.

Characteristics

The composition of the drug consists of two active ingredients: lysozyme and pyridoxine. The drug is produced in the form of lollipops or lozenges - round and smooth, white. The excipients necessary to create the pharmacological form are lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, saccharin, vanillin and tragacanth. One blister contains 10 lozenges.

Properties

Lysozyme is a natural mucopolysaccharide (glycosidase) that protects mucous membranes from biological aggressors. It has the following effects:

• Antiseptic.
• Anti-inflammatory.
• Regulation of local immunity.

Lysozyme is active against bacterial pathogens (both gram-positive and gram-negative), in which it causes the dissolution of cell wall proteoglycans. In addition, the substance helps fight other microbes (viruses, fungi) and inhibits inflammatory reactions. And the additional inclusion of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) in Lysobact helps to enhance the protective effect on the mucous membrane and accelerate its healing.

Indications

The drug is actively used by ENT doctors and dentists for the treatment of microbial inflammatory pathologies of the throat and oral cavity:

• Stomatitis (including aphthous).
• Sore throats and tonsillitis.
• Pharyngitis and laryngitis.

Lollipops are also recommended to be dissolved after removal or cryodestruction of the tonsils in order to prevent inflammation and accelerate reparative processes.

Reviews

In conclusion, I would like to give a few reviews about this medicine.

Olga (St. Petersburg): “Lozenges are very easy to use. You don’t need to prepare any special solutions; you just need to carry a package of Lysobact with you and take the tablet at the right time. Now, when I have a sore throat, I always use Lysobact.”

Elena (Novosibirsk): “My acquaintance with this drug took place not so long ago. My daughter had a sore throat, and her pediatrician prescribed Lysobact. With the help of lysobact, it was possible to quickly relieve pain and inflammation in the throat. As a result, recovery came much faster than usual. I recommend it to both adults and children."

Tatyana (Moscow): “Before, when I had a sore throat, I always used various “sprayers” like “Ingalipta.” And recently our local therapist advised me to take Lysobact.

Another substance is Lysozyme, which actively fights pathogenic microorganisms, destroying their cell walls. This enzyme is contained in the required amount in human saliva, however, during infections and inflammatory processes its level decreases.

In addition, the medicine helps improve the immune system. Creates an antiseptic effect on viruses and fungi of the oral cavity. In the intestines, the medicine is absorbed into the blood. Some of it is excreted in the urine.
