Pharmacological action of
Septolete is a combination of an antiseptic from the group of quaternary ammonium compounds (benzalkonium chloride) and active natural substances (menthol, peppermint essential oil, eucalyptus essential oil, thymol), which increase the activity of the antiseptic and improve its taste.
Benzalkonium chloride has a bactericidal effect on gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as a fungicidal effect against Candida albicans and some lipophilic viruses.
Menthol and peppermint essential oil have a moderate analgesic and deodorizing effect. Pastilles relieve pain when swallowing and subjective discomfort, such as tickle. Thymol has an antiseptic effect that enhances the effectiveness of the drug. Eucalyptus essential oil reduces mucus secretion in the upper respiratory tract and makes breathing easier.
The drug Septolete ® plus contains polyols (maltitol and mannitol), does not contain sugar, which allows you to take the drug for patients with diabetes mellitus. Sugar-free medium increases the activity of an antiseptic. Maltitol and mannitol are metabolized by bacteria of the oral cavity very slowly and to a small extent, therefore they do not have a damaging effect on tooth enamel.
