Most of us, at the very first symptoms of a sore throat, do not go to the doctor, but to the pharmacy. People get the most diverse sprays and aerosols. These medicines may have different effects. Therefore, patient reviews about them are very different. A person may call some drugs effective, and others useless.
All throat sprinklers are divided according to their effect: antiseptics, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing and so on. In today's article, we will talk about the drug "Ingalipt." Instructions for use, analogues and reviews about them will be described later.
Description of the drug "Ingalipt"
The composition of this medicine includes norsulfazole, streptocide, eucalyptus oil, thymol, peppermint in the form of oil, alcohol and glycerin. The medication has an antimicrobial effect and relieves inflammation. The medicine is inexpensive: one bottle will cost you no more than 100 rubles. After applying the drug, a refreshing effect is felt. Spray softens and improves breathing. The drug is applied by spraying actions on the throat and tonsils. The number of applications per day depends on the nature of the pathology and its severity.
It is contraindicated to use "Ingalipt" for individual intolerance. However, this prohibition applies to all medical devices. In pediatrics, the drug has been used since three years. Aerosol is used to treat infectious processes in the larynx: tonsillitis, pharyngitis, stomatitis, gingivitis and so on. Side effects of therapy are rare and allergic. What to do if the pharmacy does not have the drug "Ingalipt" (spray)? Analogs can be selected with the help of a pharmacist or consult a doctor. Consumers choose the first option more often. Therefore, we consider what can replace the described medicine.
Absolute substitute "Ingalipt-Vial"
The only structural substitute for the Ingalipt medication (analogue) is the Ingalipt-Vial aerosol. It contains the same components. The drug is distinguished by the absence of glycerol and the presence of sucrose. Such a drug costs an average of 150 rubles.
A medication is prescribed for the same indications as its predecessor. It is known that this medicine can be used for children who are able to hold their breath when sprayed. Reviews about this analogue are positive, as well as about the original spray. A medication very rarely causes an allergy. It appears with intolerance to the constituent components, which the consumer had not previously suspected.
Safe Tantum Verde
You already know enough about the drug "Ingalipt" (how to use). Analogs are exactly the same sprayed into the throat, capturing the tonsils. On the positive side, the Tantum Verde remedy is characterized. The composition of this drug includes benzidamine hydrochloride. The medicine has an analgesic, anti-inflammatory effect. It eliminates pathogens, penetrating the affected areas of the mucous membrane. A contraindication to the use of the drug is a child under 3 years old. Despite this, doctors often prescribe the drug for a year. Doctors advise spraying the composition not in the larynx, but on the inside of the cheek.
Almost all consumers praise this substitute for the drug "Ingalipt." The analogue has a pleasant refreshing taste, it does not invoke irritation and burning sensation. The drug is administered in 1-4 sprays every 4 hours. You can buy medicine for about 350 rubles.
Beekeeping Substitutes
Aerosol “Ingalipt” has analogues in the form of propolis-based sprays. Such drugs include "Proposol", "Ambulance", "Propolis-spray" and so on. Medicines include propolis and additional components. Medicines have a pronounced anti-inflammatory, emollient and healing effect. Also, the active ingredient relates to antiseptics and immunomodulators. Unlike the Ingalipt drug, analogues based on beekeeping products have more contraindications. All of them are allergens. Propolis nebulizers are not prescribed for children under 3 years of age. Some manufacturers do not recommend using their product for children under 6 years old. Medicines should not be applied with eczema.
An important advantage of the described tools, according to consumers, is their low price. You can buy aerosols with propolis for 50-150 rubles (the price depends on the manufacturer and volume). The disadvantages of drugs include their unpleasant taste. It is largely due to the presence of ethanol in large quantities. A burning sensation is noted immediately after application. But this is not a reason for discontinuing the drug. Medicines effectively eliminate stomatitis, gingivitis, inflammation of the larynx and tongue.
Effective remedies for angina: “Hexoral” and “Stopangin”
You already know what is prescribed for pharyngitis and tonsillitis spray "Ingalipt." Analogues of the drug that effectively eliminate tonsillitis are Stopangin and Hexoral aerosols. They contain the same active substance: hexetidine. Medicines have a good antiseptic effect. They eliminate bacteria and fungi. Medications have almost no anesthetic effect, which often causes consumer outrage. After all, patients want the medicine to help immediately.
These funds are contraindicated for children under three years of age. The medicine "Stopangin" is not recommended by the manufacturer for use up to 6 years. Both funds range from 300 to 400 rubles. According to reviews, the Stopangin medication is somewhat cheaper.
Miramistin and Chlorhexidine
Does the original drug have a safe analogue? "Ingalipt" for children is used only after three years. Are there any aerosols that can be used earlier? Yes! These are the safe mixtures of Miramistin and Chlorhexidine. Both drugs are antiseptics. They are effective against many microorganisms. Even those strains that are not sensitive to other antibiotics (more serious) succumb to them.
How are these substitutes used? For babies, the mouth, throat and (if necessary) the nose are irrigated with solutions. Older children can rinse the oropharynx with these funds. There are practically no contraindications to their use. The exception is only hypersensitivity. Chlorhexidine can be purchased at a price of about 50 rubles per vial. The Miramistin medicine costs a little more - 150 rubles for 50 milliliters.
Iodine compounds: "Lugol", "Yoks"
What else is the substitute for the original tool (analog)? "Ingalipt" for children (spray), according to the instructions, does not apply up to three years. Iodine solutions can be used already from a year. Sometimes pediatricians appoint their babies on their own responsibility. To date, the most popular aerosols are Yoks and Lugol. Both contain iodine solution. Medicines are effective for angina, pharyngitis. They have a pronounced antimicrobial and antiseptic effect.
The list of contraindications for these drugs is wider. They are not prescribed for diseases of the liver and heart. Due to the presence of iodine, aerosols are not recommended for use in thyroid pathologies. Medications can cause an allergic reaction. Doctors warn that these funds are dangerous to use during pregnancy. If you use the medicine for more than 4 days, then there is a toxic effect on the fetus. Therefore, it is not recommended to spray them without first consulting a doctor. Iodine solutions cost from 100 to 300 rubles (Lugol is cheaper).
Universal "Cameton"
Often replaced with the drug "Cameton" aerosol "Ingalipt." The instruction does not recommend using analogues of such a plan on your own. The use of "Cameton" during pregnancy and lactation is contraindicated. Spray is not prescribed for children under 5 years of age, as well as for persons with increased sensitivity to components. The components of the drug are camphor, chlorobutanol, eucalyptus and levomenthol. It is known that a medicine can cause allergies and bronchospasm.
Positive reviews are formed about the drug for many reasons. The main advantage is its price: “Cameton” costs no more than 90 rubles. The second thing consumers are paying attention to is versatility. You can use the medication not only for irrigation of the larynx, but also for the treatment of rhinitis (nasal).
Summarize
From the article you could learn a lot about the drug "Ingalipt." Analogs have different reviews - you are also aware of this. With bacterial infection, it is useless to use antiviral formulations. The opposite rule applies: if a cold is caused by a virus, then antibiotics will not help. Therefore, it cannot be said which of all drugs is the best. Tantum Verde aerosol is in great demand. Thanks to its pleasant taste, it is easy to use for treating children. Also, the medication is prescribed to expectant mothers. The disadvantage of the drug is the high price. Propolis and iodine-based products are effective and inexpensive, but they taste unpleasant. Children resist their spray. Aerosol "Kameton" can be dangerous allergic reaction, but it is inexpensive. What to choose in the end? To find an effective medicine, you need to see a doctor. All the best, don’t be sick!
