Some time ago, a new medicine appeared in pharmacies: the Holisal gel treating gums and oral mucous membranes. Instructions for use indicate that it includes choline salicylate and cetalkonium chloride.
The drug "Chrysal". Structure
The first substance refers to derivatives of salicylic acid, is an analgesic and antipyretic. It is used to combat diseases caused by fungi, and very often, though not always, by viruses. Well, the substance inhibits the functioning of macrophages, slows down the action of neutrophils. It is well absorbed into the mucous membranes. Cetalkonium chloride is a substance that kills gram-positive bacteria well and, in some cases, copes with gram-negative ones. In addition, it kills some types of fungi, viruses. Having studied the properties of various drugs, scientists came to the conclusion that their combination will give an effect that will greatly exceed the effect of each individual substance.
This is how the Holisal gel turned out. The instructions for use explain that, in addition to the main (active) substances, it includes methyl parahydroxybenzoate and propyl parahydroxybenzoate, which are needed to emulsify and preserve the gel, as well as glycerol, which retains water. To give the gel a pleasant “cool” taste, pharmacists used anise oil.
Properties of the drug "Holisal"
Instructions for use indicate that the gel is a light, transparent substance with a slight smell of anise. It is intended for the treatment of oral mucosa, belongs to the group of NSAIDs. The drug is recommended to rub into the inflamed mucous membranes of the oral cavity. It is perfectly absorbed, leaving a pleasant “anise” aftertaste in the mouth. The drug fights fungal infections, destroys viruses and bacteria.
The medicine "Chrysal" (the instructions for use emphasize this) relieves pain, eliminates an unpleasant itching sensation in the mouth, lowers the temperature of the oral cavity, and eliminates inflammation. In scientific terms, this gel is characterized by analgesic properties, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory characteristics.
Reviews
Today, many dentists prescribe the medicine. Doctors evaluate it as a fast-acting drug that accelerates healing well. It does not cause any allergies or side effects. And what do those people who have prescribed it say about the latest anti-inflammatory medicine? This helped to find out studies and conversations with visitors to the dentists. Some dental clinics conducted a survey of patients who were prescribed “Chisal” for stomatitis by doctors. The reviews were unanimous: the medicine instantly relieves heat in the mouth, eliminates burning sensation, and alleviates pain. Dentists point out that the gel makes healing of postoperative injuries, sores that are the result of diseases faster. But the parents who were prescribed Holisal gel for children are especially pleased. Their reviews emphasize that the pleasant taste of the medicine is liked by the kids.
