Damage to the mucous membrane of the oral cavity can be of a very different nature. Problems in this area can even be caused by pathological processes in other organs.
It is the mucous surface that “narrates” the presence of most of the possible problems in the patient’s body. All pathologies that occur inside and are provoked by the weakness of protective functions or various diseases affect the state of tissues inside the oral membrane. In case of problems in this area, doctors usually prescribe Lizobact tablets.

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

Opinions
Oddly enough, but many people are skeptical of this drug, considering it useless, which is unlikely to help cure the diagnosed disease. As a rule, such an opinion is erroneous, since with the right approach, Lizobakt 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 to be ineffective. But all the interviewed individuals came to the conclusion that exacerbation of side effects is absent in most cases, which is already a positive point.
As a result, we can conclude that the effect of Lizobact is selective and, as a rule, depends on a correctly selected treatment regimen. Only competent treatment will help eliminate the troubling disease with this drug.
When taken correctly, Lizobakt is very effective. Patients note the effectiveness of the drug and, in most situations, the absence of adverse reactions. "Lizobakt" for children acts gently and effectively, in the absence of allergic manifestations in a child, it is well tolerated and completely safe.
About the use of the drug in children there are a lot of positive feedback. Both parents and doctors praise these pills. The main advantage of the medicine is its safety, since it is possible to give medicine to both babies and women in the “position”. Adverse reactions from this remedy are practically not found, and most children like the pleasant taste.
According to parents, “Lizobakt” helps a lot with various acute lesions of the pharynx and mouth, for example, with a herpetic rash on the mucous membrane of the oral cavity or with aphthous stomatitis.
According to reviews and instructions for use, "Lizobakt" has not so many contraindications, which is also a great advantage over other medicines.
The negative aspects of the drug, as a rule, include a fairly high price of the drug. Because of it, most parents get other local antiseptic medicines that are cheaper. Also, sometimes there are negative responses with complaints of the absence of any pharmacological action or the appearance of allergic manifestations.
