The main signs of allergies are redness of the mouth, swelling of the mucous membranes, lips, and larynx. If such symptoms appear, you should stop taking the drug, take an antihistamine, and seek medical help to prevent the development of anaphylactic shock.
Indications
Chlorophyllipt spray for children should be used exclusively for preventive purposes. It can also be included in combination therapy for diseases of the nasopharynx and oral cavity. Considering that Chlorophyllipt oil spray has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects, it can become an alternative to any similar aerosols.
Main indications for using the spray for children:
- Sore throat, tonsillitis.
- Pharyngitis, laryngitis.
- Stomatitis, gingivitis.
Adults can additionally use it after tooth resection. The spray has a pronounced antiseptic effect, which makes it possible to use it when signs of an infectious process appear. This reduces the risk of complications after a sore throat or laryngitis.
For sore throat
The disease often develops in young children. The cause may be staphylococcus or streptococcus. Accompanied by severe sore throat, increased weakness, high fever and severe drowsiness. For this reason, children are often apathetic, capricious, and refuse to eat. If such signs appear, you should consult a doctor. As an additional remedy to the main therapy, which will be prescribed by a specialist, it is recommended to use Chlorophyllipt spray. For angina in children, it helps:
- reducing the activity of a number of pathogenic bacteria;
- relieving pain and inflammation;
- stimulating the immune system.
It is recommended to use after gargling. A throat spray helps to cope with a sore throat much faster. Also, with a mild degree, you can avoid taking antibiotics and limit yourself exclusively to local remedies.
From staphylococcus
As mentioned above, Chlorophyllipt for the throat can be used for sore throat. It is also widely used when a staphylococcal infection is detected in the oral cavity. In the fight against it, the product reduces the activity of bacteria, reduces their growth and, in particular, contributes to their death. Due to the extract of eucalyptus leaves, the aerosol copes with such a problem as Staphylococcus aureus.
Despite this, the activity of Chlorophyllipt as an oil spray is much lower. The alcohol solution has the most pronounced antimicrobial effect.
Stomatitis
The disease of the oral cavity is called “stomatitis”. It can occur in the absence of personal hygiene rules. Accompanied by the appearance of various types of inflammatory elements on the mucous membrane. It is actively used for the prevention of fungal and bacterial diseases of the oral cavity. This helps prevent the development of a number of complications.
Laryngitis, pharyngitis
Accompanied by inflammation of the larynx and pharynx. There is pain and hoarseness. If left untreated, it can lead to a chronic form. Chlorophyllipt should be used only in combination with other medications. When used, the development of complications is prevented. The spray helps relieve inflammation and reduce the activity of pathogenic flora. Additionally, the drug helps in boosting immunity due to the plant vitamins and organic compounds it contains.
You should consult your doctor before use. If signs of ENT disease appear, it is recommended to resort to antibacterial therapy as prescribed by a specialist.
Reviews about the drug
Many people prefer to use this particular drug to treat a sore throat. Its advantage is not only its natural composition, but also the high effect of treatment, as well as an affordable price.
Many doctors recommend for children under 5 years of age to use an oil solution of the drug, which can be used to treat the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat. Older children can use tablets or an alcohol solution for rinsing. For many, the drug is a first aid remedy for colds and sore throats, so it is always present in the home medicine cabinet.
Children, pregnancy and breastfeeding
Contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation. According to the instructions, it is not prescribed to children under 18 years of age.

Chlorophyllipt oil solution is prescribed to children for sore throat and ARVI. It is used for nasal instillation and lubricating the larynx, including in the youngest patients (if difficulties arise with lubrication, the product can be given to infants on the nipple).
Cheap analogues of Chlorophyllipt
The drug Chlorophyllipt is not an expensive drug, but there are still cheaper analogues on the pharmaceutical market that may have an identical composition or the same therapeutic effect. When choosing or purchasing Chlorophyllipt analogues, it is important to pay attention to the composition, excipients, as well as how to use the drug, and for what diseases it is most effective. There is no need to ignore information about contraindications and possible adverse reactions of the body. Chlorophyllin-OZ is considered a similar analogue of Chlorophyllipt in composition. Other medications that can replace the drug have a similar effect:
- Chlorophyllin.
- Hexoral.
- Chlorhexidine.
- Rotokan.
Any analogue of Chlorophyllipt should be used on the recommendation of a doctor, especially in cases where the drug is intended for a child.
Chlorophyllong or Chlorophyllipt - what is the difference?
A structural analogue of Chlorophyllipt is the drug Chlorophyllin, which has a pronounced antimicrobial effect, is available in several formulations, and can be used to treat throat diseases in children and adults.
Unlike Chlorophyllipt, the medicine Chlorophyllong is a newer development of domestic manufacturers. It also contains eucalyptus extract. However, despite this, there are slight differences between the drugs.
Chlorophyllipt contains eucalyptus rodum, while Chlorophyllong contains eucalyptus globulus. The second difference is that Chlorophyllong contains copper chloride dihydrate, which is not present in Chlorophyllipt.
Comparing both drugs, it can be noted that Chlorophyllong is a tincture, and Chlorophyllipt is a solution, since it contains eucalyptus extract. Based on a comparison of the two drugs, we can conclude that Chlorophyllipt has more pronounced antimicrobial properties. The price of Chlorophyllong in city pharmacies is almost the same as that of Chlorophyllipt, 300 rubles for an alcohol solution and 90 rubles for tablets No. 20.
Chlorophyllipt or Hexoral - which is better?
You can replace the Chlorophyllipt solution with Hexoral, which is widely used to treat diseases of the throat and nasopharynx and has antiseptic, antifungal, and antibacterial effects. The active component of the drug is hecatidine (0.2%), the composition also contains 4.3% alcohol, eucalyptus oil and other components. Hexoral is available in several forms, including a solution for gargling. The drug has found its wide application in the treatment of bacterial and fungal infections of the oral cavity. The medicine can be used for children.
If we compare Chlorophyllipt and Hexoral, then the second drug has a synthetic base, but is highly effective and well tolerated. The price for Hexoral is about 215 rubles per 100 ml bottle.
Miramistin or Chlorophyllipt – which is cheaper?
Miramistin, which can be purchased in bottles of 100 ml, 150 ml or 200 ml, is considered a popular drug with antimicrobial and antibacterial effects. The drug has a wide spectrum of action, suppresses and destroys various pathogenic bacteria, has moderate anti-inflammatory properties, and increases local immunity. Miramistin is used in various fields of medicine, including ENT diseases of bacterial origin.

Miramistin is often used for children with acute pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and sinusitis. The drug is particularly effective in the first days of illness. Miramistin, unlike Chlorophyllipt, has a wider spectrum of action, is not its structural analogues, but has a similar therapeutic effect. Can be used for children and pregnant women. The price of Miramistin solution ranges from 200 to 300 rubles per bottle of 100 or 200 ml. Before using the solution, it is important to read the instructions for use.
Chlorophyllipt or Chlorhexidine - what's the difference?
A cheap and very effective drug with pronounced antimicrobial and antibacterial properties is Chlorhexidine, which has a wide spectrum of action and is effective against bacteria, viruses and some fungi. Chlorhexidine differs from Chlorophyllipt in composition. Chlorhexidine contains chlorine, which gives the drug a specific bitter taste. The component of the drug (chlorine) can irritate and burn the oral mucosa, so it is important to dilute it correctly and adhere to the recommended proportions.
Diluted Chlorhexidine can be used as an antiseptic for gargling for bacterial or fungal diseases. The drug has pronounced bactericidal and antiseptic properties. The drug is used in children and pregnant women with caution and only on the recommendation of a doctor. The advantage of the drug is its cost, which does not exceed 50 rubles per 100 ml bottle.
Oil solution
“Chlorophyllipt” for a child’s throat (oil) is prescribed for instillation into the nose if a runny nose is tormented, as well as for treating the throat if pharyngitis progresses. It perfectly helps to get rid of all these problems and prevent the onset of diseases in the future or ease their course. The algorithm for treating the nasal cavity with this remedy is simple and understandable to every person, without exception:
- Prepare a bottle with the drug, bringing it to room temperature, a clean pipette, saline solution and a piece of cotton wool.
- Clean the patient's nose by placing a couple of drops of saline solution into each nostril and blowing the nose after three minutes.
- Shake the product well, put a little into a pipette and drop one drop into the baby’s nose if he is already three years old. If the patient is younger than the specified age, it will be enough for him to insert cotton wool, previously soaked in one or two drops of the drug, into the nostrils (one at a time) for a couple of minutes.
The procedure must be carried out twice a day. The full course of treatment is on average a week, but its exact duration can only be determined by a doctor. If the child complains of tingling or burning in the treated area, there is no need to worry, since this phenomenon is quite normal and only signals a severe infection.
As mentioned above, the composition has antibacterial properties and is suitable for treating the oropharynx. Oil solution "Chlorophyllipt" for children's throat is used as follows:
- Shake the bottle with the contents.
- Ask your baby to rinse his mouth with warm, clean water if he has already learned how to do this.
- Open the patient's mouth wide and look carefully at the pharynx and tonsils. If there are films or purulent deposits on their surface, they must be removed with a moistened swab or gauze.
- Squeeze 20 drops of oil into a clean and dry container and dip a cotton swab in it.
- Open the baby's mouth again, ask him to hold his breath and treat the mucous membrane of the tonsils with the product.
To get the maximum effect, the child should not eat or drink anything for half an hour after the procedure. “Chlorophyllipt” for the throat of children under one year old is recommended to be applied to the pacifier (no more than one drop). For patients of any age, it is necessary to carry out two procedures per day. In total, the drug can be used for up to two weeks.
Reviews
Patients who have been treated with Chlorophyllipt sprays emphasize the effectiveness of this remedy in the treatment of diseases of the upper respiratory tract.

I use the spray to treat colds in schoolchildren. It helps quickly even with a sore throat, there are no side effects, and the drug is natural. The effect is much greater than from advertised lozenges.
Oleg
Chlorophyllipt spray was prescribed to me by a doctor for a sore throat. Immediately after spraying, the condition improved significantly and the pain decreased for a while. I think it was this remedy that helped me heal in less than a week.
Irina
I use this spray at the first signs of a cold - a sore throat, a beginning cough. Helps you recover quickly, and in some cases, even avoid the disease itself.
Nikolai
I have been using this spray for many years: inexpensive, yet effective. But the main thing is that it is herbal, natural, no chemicals, which often cause side effects.
Compound
The main component of the drug is eucalyptus extract - 25 mg, auxiliary components - sucrose, citric acid, cellulose, calcium. The combination of ingredients allows not only to successfully eliminate the infection, but also to compensate for the lack of calcium and ascorbic acid in the body.
Round green tablets with a specific odor and bitter taste are produced in a dosage of 25 mg, 20 pieces per package. The medicine for children is produced at 12.5 mg.
The product began to be produced in tablet form relatively recently. This form has become indispensable in the treatment of inflammatory processes in the pharynx: by influencing local immunity, Chlorophyllipt can speed up the healing process.
Despite the fact that the instructions prohibit the use of the medicine under 18 years of age, it is often used in pediatric practice when indicated. Most often, doctors prescribe it for diseases caused by staphylococci.
The substance does not require special storage conditions: it is stored at a temperature of no more than 20 degrees, away from sunlight and moisture. Shelf life – 2 years. You can buy Chlorophyllipt No. 20 without a doctor's prescription, at a price of approximately 125 rubles.
How to use
After removing the balloon from the packaging, you need to place the nozzle on the tip and make 3-4 injections into the air to eliminate the air and carry out further procedures for irrigating the pharynx in full. In the case of modern type scrolling nozzles, it is enough to open the nozzle all the way and also press the cap several times. If we talk directly about the moment of use, then it is necessary:
- Shake the canister and point it vertically, bottom down, inserting the spray tube into your mouth.
- Next, inhale and hold your breath.
- The spray nozzle is pressed two times: the first by turning it on the left tonsil, and the second on the right.
- Exhale and continue to breathe normally.
The drug can be used up to 5 times a day, unless there are any restrictions. The instructions list the drug as a product used for oral hygiene.
Holding your breath is very important during irrigation. A fine mixture in the respiratory tract can cause spasm. This is especially true for children and those who have any problems with the respiratory system such as asthma and so on. Spasm of the respiratory tract can lead to asphyxia and death!
Pharmacological properties
Chlorophyllipt has a bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect, destroying sensitive bacteria and suppressing the ability of pathogenic organisms to reproduce. Medicines for external use disinfect the surface being treated, reduce inflammation, and have a regenerating effect. Eucalyptus extract fights microbes, including staphylococcus. It has a pronounced etiotropic effect, promoting a better supply of oxygen to tissues. A popular use is as an immunostimulant for weakened immunity. When taken simultaneously with antimicrobial drugs, it increases the effectiveness of the latter.

Chlorophyllipt alcohol is used to gargle for any infectious diseases of the larynx. It has an antimicrobial, analgesic, antiseptic effect on tissues and mucous membranes. Actively fights staphylococcal and streptococcal pathogenic flora. It is also used to treat fungal diseases and remove worms.
Indications for the use of Chlorophyllipt are the following diseases:
- acute and chronic tonsillitis,
- pharyngitis,
- laryngitis,
- pharyngotracheitis,
- bronchitis,
- sinusitis,
- stomatitis,
- gingivitis.
The instructions for the drug do not contain indications for treating the throat, but, nevertheless, it is actively used in medical practice for this very purpose. Doctors deliberately prescribe Chlorophyllipt because its components are good at clearing the throat of purulent plugs during sore throat, relieving pain, making breathing easier, eliminating inflammation and rawness, and accelerating the regeneration of affected tissues of the larynx.
In addition to rinsing, Chlorophyllipt solution is also used in urology, gynecology, gastroenterology, pulmonology, and surgery. The drug is used in the complex treatment of trophic ulcers, burns, sepsis, skin inflammation, diseases of the urinary system, uterine erosion, colpitis, intestinal dysbiosis, after surgery and childbirth.
In addition to rinsing, Chlorophyllipt solution is also used in urology, gynecology, gastroenterology, pulmonology, and surgery.
In the form of alcohol rinses, Chlorophyllipt has no special contraindications, except for increased sensitivity to the components. Therefore, before using the medicine for the first time, you need to do an allergy test. This is done very simply. Add 5-6 drops of solution to a tablespoon and fill it with plain water around the edges. Gargle with the resulting liquid for 10-15 seconds. You should not drink or eat for some time.
Signs of an allergy to Chlorophyllipt will be redness and swelling of the mucous membranes, as well as facial tissues, itching, skin rashes, and difficulty breathing. When they appear, you can take any antihistamine (Claritin, L-Cet). If no such reactions are observed within about 8 hours, you can safely use the drug.
An indirect contraindication is intolerance to the eucalyptus odor. In this case, you should not force yourself; you can always find an alternative.
special instructions
The use of Chlorophyllipt in the form of a spray does not cause disturbances in the nervous system and does not affect the control of precise mechanisms. Dizziness and impaired consciousness can only occur with an overdose.
The use of spray and tablets helps enhance the effect of treatment.
After irrigating the mouth and throat, it is advisable not to eat or drink water for 1-2 hours.
Patients with diseases of the digestive tract should be especially careful and avoid swallowing the drug.
How to rinse with chlorophyllipt for children
Alcohol chlorophyllipt is suitable for almost everyone for gargling, since it is not absorbed into the blood. The main task is to provide a local antiseptic effect.
The rinsing procedure can be prescribed to children over five years of age. This is explained by the fact that you cannot swallow liquid while rinsing, which is still difficult for babies. The parents' task is to show the child how to gargle. During training, use ordinary boiled water. When parents are sure that the baby has mastered the technique and does not swallow liquid. You can try rinsing with the solution. The proportions by which the product must be diluted are no different from adults. The only thing is that children need a smaller volume of medication. You need to rinse three times a day. The course of treatment is selected by the attending physician, but not less than seven days.
If your child does not like the smell or taste of the drug, do not force it. A good solution is to choose a similar product with similar healing properties.
Children under ten years of age rinse under adult supervision. You need to use 100 ml of liquid at a time.
After the procedure, do not eat or drink for 30 minutes.
Doctors believe that this medicine can replace antibacterial therapy when treating children.
Treatment options
For sore throat -like diseases
To achieve a better effect, it is possible to use different forms of the drug simultaneously.
Tablets are prescribed one piece for each dose, only 4-5 per day, not exceeding the maximum permissible daily volume of the active substance 125 mg. The medicine is kept under the tongue until completely dissolved. The course of treatment is 7 days.
A one percent alcohol mixture is used for rinsing. To do this, no more than one teaspoon of the medicinal substance is diluted in 200 milliliters of water at room temperature. Gargle 3-4 times during the day.
Spray for irrigating tonsils is a good alternative to rinsing. The aerosol is sprayed into the pharynx area in 2-3 jets every 6-8 hours.
Treatment of tonsils with an oil mixture is carried out 3-4 times a day after meals. Wrap a pencil with a clean bandage, dip it in oil and carefully remove the white-yellow coating from the tonsils. To disinfect the nasopharynx, the oily composition is instilled into the nose, one or two drops three times a day.
For inflammation of the lung tissue , burn disease, septic complications
a 2 ml ampoule is mixed with 38 milliliters of saline and administered intravenously. The five-day course includes injections given four times a day.
When sanitizing the intestines
in patients who are carriers of pathogenic staphylococcus, a one percent alcohol mixture is prescribed orally. 5 milliliters of the substance are diluted in a dessert spoon of water, taken 3 times 40 minutes before meals. Administration is practiced through enemas, for the preparation of which 20 milliliters of Chlorophyllipt 1% are dissolved in a liter of water. One enema is given every other day for 20 days (10 injections in total).
For healing and antiseptic treatment of wounds, burns, trophic ulcers
1% drug is combined with novocaine 0.25% in a ratio of 1:5. A clean bandage or gauze is impregnated with the resulting composition, folded into several folds and combined with the lesion, securing with a bandage.
Help with cervical erosion
consists of vaginal insertion of a tampon soaked in Chlorophyllipt in oil form for 20 minutes for 10 days. After this, 14 douches are prescribed with a composition of one tablespoon of medication per liter of liquid. Each douching ends with the insertion of a tampon soaked in an undiluted oil substance into the vagina, where it is left for 12 hours. After examination by a doctor, the course can be repeated.
When curing peptic ulcer
extract in oil is consumed one teaspoon three times a day for a course of 3 weeks according to the following scheme: I - an hour before breakfast, II - an hour before lunch, III - two hours after dinner. The substance must be taken into the mouth, washed down with a sip of water, but not swallowed, but held in the mouth for several seconds until a homogeneous substance forms.
For hemorrhoids, sphincteritis, diagnostic procedures
in patients prone to the formation of ulcers and damage to the mucous membrane, Chlorophyllipt in oil is used to lubricate the tips of enemas or medical devices inserted into the rectum.
For stomatitis
treat the inner surface of the cheeks and gums.
For erysipelas
Applications made of fabric soaked in an oil emulsion are applied to the damaged area.
For respiratory
painful conditions,
a one percent alcohol composition is prescribed in the form of inhalations. To do this, one milliliter of Chlorophyllipt is dissolved in 10 ml of saline solution. 3 ml of the resulting composition is poured into the nebulizer capsule. Inhalations are done three times a day.
Solution "Chlorophyllipt" oil: reviews, instructions
So, this form of the drug contains chlorophyll plus corn oil as an excipient. In appearance, it is a dark green liquid with an oily consistency and a specific aroma.
It is this form of the drug “Chlorophyllipt” (instructions, patient reviews also confirm this) that is prescribed during the treatment of burns, cervical erosion and trophic ulcers. This type of medicine is resistant to staphylococci.
An oil solution with chlorophyll is applied topically: the affected areas are treated with cotton swabs.
In order to treat uterine erosion, the cervical canal is lubricated with the medicine, after which a cotton swab soaked in it is inserted for no more than twenty minutes. This therapy continues for ten days. If the treatment has a positive effect, i.e. all the wounds have healed, the course is stopped, but if the picture has improved, but not all of the resulting wounds have healed, the course is repeated from the beginning.
Before direct treatment with this drug, tests are carried out for allergic reactions. Twenty-five drops of the solution are mixed with a tablespoon of water and drunk. If after six to eight hours there are no signs of side effects, then you can begin full therapy.
The oil solution, interacting with other medications, enhances its antibacterial properties. Reviews characterize this type of drug “Chlorophyllipt” only as a truly effective medicine. Women are especially delighted with him. After all, cervical erosion is not so easy to cure, given the moist environment of the vagina, in which the microflora is constantly changing. But with this drug it is much easier to achieve the desired result.
Also, positive trends are noted by people who treat inflammation of the tonsils with tonsillitis with this remedy.
Chlorophyllipt for children description and facts
For diseases caused by pathogenic staphylococci, Chlorophyllipt is prescribed to children quite often. Including during the neonatal period.
Some pharmaceutical companies even include an alcohol solution of Chlorophyllipt in a first aid kit for newborns. Why is he needed there?
Firstly, a 1% alcohol solution can be used to treat the baby’s umbilical wound instead of brilliant green or alternating with it.
Secondly, local use of the solution is indicated for suppurating rashes on the child’s skin. Most often, they are caused by some type of staphylococcus, which attacks babies right in the maternity ward. In order to get rid of nosocomial infections, the maternity hospital is closed from time to time for a general cleaning, but, nevertheless, it is impossible to guarantee the exclusion of staphylococcus infection in the maternity hospital.
Why are pustules on the skin of a newborn so dangerous? Because the protective function of the skin in infants in the first month of life is still very weak, and bacteria quickly enter the bloodstream.
Chlorophyllipt solution allows you to prevent this most dangerous complication, which in most cases ends in a septic state. It should be noted that staphylococcus can enter a newborn’s body not through the skin, but through the upper respiratory tract, causing pneumonia, which is extremely difficult to treat.
If a staphylococcal infection has settled in the baby’s body not on the surface of the skin, but in the blood, lungs, internal organs or cavities, small children can be prescribed an alcohol solution of Chlorophyllipt intravenously in combination with an oil solution orally.
The thing is that doctors try to prescribe strong antibiotics to children only in extreme cases. Of course, antibacterial drugs do an excellent job of treating the source of infection in infants, but at the same time they destroy almost all flora, including beneficial intestinal flora. This leads to the development of dysbacteriosis, which is no less dangerous for a small child than infection.
Treatment with Chlorophyllipt ensures the preferential destruction of pathogenic staphylococci, while the normal rod flora is not affected.
For newborns, Chlorophyllipt is administered orally, 2-3 drops, which are mixed with breast milk.
Doctors and nurses know how to dilute Chlorophyllipt for intravenous injections: such manipulations are carried out exclusively in a hospital setting and you should not worry about this issue.
When treating older children, the drug is not used so actively: the older the child becomes, the less often pathogenic staphylococci manage to harm his body.
Only if the immune system is impaired and there is no response to antibacterial therapy, doctors think about using Chlorophyllipt as an alternative treatment.
While allergies are quite rare in newborn children, they are extremely common in older children. And we remember that the main side effect of Chlorophyllipt is the occurrence of allergic reactions of varying strength and manifestations, including those accompanied by bronchospasm. This is also why, in the treatment of infectious diseases of the throat and nose, Chlorophyllipt spray is usually not used for children under 12 years of age, and more indifferent medications are used, which are also capable of relieving swelling of the mucous membrane, for example, Rinofluimucil.
Spray "Chlorophyllipt" - instructions
This is the most acceptable form of medicine today. The “Chlorophyllipt” spray is very convenient to use. Reviews from many patients say that it is very comfortable to spray it on the affected areas and limit its effect exactly in the desired area, which cannot be said about lubricating the affected areas with a cotton swab, when most of the medicine remains on the cotton wool.
This is an aerosol containing 15 ml of chlorophyll solution. It is used to treat the pharynx and inflamed areas of the oral cavity. The spray is applicable in the treatment of sore throats, more simplified forms of throat and larynx ailments, as well as acute respiratory infections.
The method of using the spray is simple - three to four times a day you need to perform two injections in the direction of the inflamed segments.
Analogs
The most famous analogue of Chlorophyllong is Chlorophyllipt, which has been used for the treatment of infectious diseases and ENT organs for more than 70 years. Despite the similarity in action and composition, Chlorophyllipt still has significant differences:
- The raw material for its production is another variety of medicinal plant - eucalyptus globulus;
- According to the manufacturing method, an extract is prepared from the leaves and stems, which retains all the antimicrobial properties of the plant. Then an oil or alcohol solution is prepared from the extract.
A solution identical in method of application and composition is Gelenophyllipt. It is produced by the same pharmacological company as Chlorophyllong.
Chlorophyllipt oil solution: composition and action
Oil-based chlorophyllipt is a completely natural product. Outwardly it looks like an oily transparent liquid, rich emerald color. It contains two components: eucalyptus extract and oil (sunflower or olive, depending on the manufacturer). The active ingredient is chlorophyll from eucalyptus leaves.
It fights staphylococcus well, even with those strains that are not suppressed by benzylpenicillin antibiotics. The drug is also effective against other microorganisms.
Chlorophyllipt oil solution is used most often and due to cost
A characteristic feature of the product is that bacteria do not develop resistance to its effects, addiction and a decrease in effectiveness do not occur. Beneficial microflora is not destroyed. The pronounced properties of the medicine are antibacterial, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic.
In what cases is it possible to use an alcohol solution for a child?
As a rule, we are talking about treating the surface of the skin that has been injured; in such cases, its use as an alternative to brilliant green is permissible.
For superficial pustular infections, this medicine is also used, and it should be applied locally to the affected area using a cotton pad.
In case of infection in the blood or respiratory organs, this solution can be prescribed intravenously. However, in such cases, the administration of the drug should be provided exclusively by a medical professional located in a specialized institution.
The use of antibiotics for a young child is extremely undesirable, which is why the practice of using such an antiseptic drug has appeared.
The main advantage of Chlorophyllipt is the absence of a large number of side infections, as well as the fact that it does not kill the intestinal microflora, acting exclusively on the source of infection.
It is worth noting that to treat an older child, the frequency of taking the drug should be increased.
The alcohol-based solution of Chlorophyllipt is recognized as more effective, but before taking it, you should definitely agree on all the details of the intake with a specialist.
Chlorophyllipt tablets
This dosage form of the drug is prescribed primarily for the treatment of various respiratory diseases. An alternative option is a medicine in the form of a spray. Tablets also come in various forms: for sucking and chewing. They may also differ in the amount of concentration of the main active ingredient.
As a rule, the tablets should be placed exactly under the tongue. The frequency of their administration is once every four hours. The duration of the course should not exceed a week, since after this period of time the tablets and solution may be ineffective (the infection will develop resistance to the main component of the drug).
For a child, the use of tablets is not recommended, although perhaps in very rare cases. As mentioned earlier, in this case, Chlorophyllipt is used in the form of an alcohol or oil solution.
What are the benefits of the spray?
If we talk about the main advantages of this form of release of the drug, then first of all we can mention ease of use. The frequency of such manipulations should not exceed four times, and the duration of the general course is about three days. The spray can also be used for a child, but, as for an adult, the specifics of therapy should be agreed with the doctor.
Chlorophyllipt has a lot of positive reviews from people who were able to neutralize a particular disease with the help of this medicine. It is worth remembering that timely treatment is the basis for successful therapy.
Contraindications
Direct contraindications for use are hypersensitivity, as well as atrophic processes in the nasopharynx (for example, atrophic rhinitis). The medication is not used as monotherapy, or in children under 3 years of age, if the spray form is chosen.
With frequent use there is a risk of overdose. In this case, an allergic reaction may develop in the form of swelling of the mucous tissues, as well as rashes. In this case, the use of the drug is suspended and symptomatic therapy is carried out.
If the airway is blocked due to a swollen throat or spasm, you must call an ambulance. Giving any medications orally is strictly prohibited.
