The name of the drug is due to its active components - chlorophyll extracts a and b. These substances are obtained from eucalyptus. Decoctions and essential oils made from this beautiful plant in the southern latitudes have long been used to treat infectious diseases of the upper respiratory tract.
Drug effectiveness
It should be noted right away that the “Chlorophyllipt” medicine, unlike many antibiotics that have a wide spectrum of action, does not have such multivalent antimicrobial activity. It is able to destroy mainly staphylococci, which make up a large army of pathogenic flora and are the cause of the development of a variety of serious diseases, most often infectious diseases that affect the upper respiratory tract.
Not a single type of staphylococcus can resist the antimicrobial effect of Chlorophyllipt. Instructions for use indicate that different dosage forms of the drug with the same strength resist infection. And the spray, and tablets, and the solution (alcohol and oil) successfully manifest themselves in the case of sinusitis, rhinitis, stomatitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis and tonsillitis.
Scope and indications for use
The use of Chlorophyllipt tablets is intended exclusively for the treatment of infections of the oral cavity and throat, while solutions (both alcohol and oil) are used more widely.
So, they are effective in the treatment of:
- diseases of the female genital organs (applied externally by douching);
- stomach ulcers, bronchitis (administered orally in combination with other drugs);
- purulent wounds or burns (used locally);
- pneumonia and septic conditions that are caused by antibiotic-resistant flora (administered intravenously).
But nevertheless the Chlorophyllipt means for a throat in the form of rinses is most often applied. Alcohol solution is also used in surgery to flush certain cavities of the human body with empyema and peritonitis. It is used by ENT doctors to clean the sinuses.
And this is not the whole list of conditions in which the medicine “Chlorophyllipt” is used in medicine. Instructions for use describe in detail all the indications for taking the drug. Let us and we will thoroughly consider some diseases in which this remedy will be effective.
Cervical erosion therapy
With this pathology, you should use the dosage form of the drug "Chlorophyllipt" - an alcohol solution. The instruction notes that immediately before using the medicine, you need to thoroughly dry the surface of all the folds of the vaginal mucosa and the part of the cervix located in it with a dry swab. Then it is necessary to eliminate the mucous discharge. To do this, the cervical canal should be wiped with tampons moistened in a soda solution (5%), and drained again. Then this area of the internal genital organs of a woman needs to be lubricated with a solution of Chlorophyllipt. If an oil version of the product is used, then its concentration should be 2%, if alcohol - 1%. After the drug has processed all the erosions, the swab should be left alone on the cervix for a while (15-20 minutes are enough).
To achieve maximum efficiency, such a treatment procedure must be performed daily for 10 days. Then the patient should independently carry out the douching process for at least 2 weeks. During this period, you need to daily prepare a fresh serving of liquid for the procedure. To do this, add 1 tablespoon (25 ml) of Chlorophyllipt alcohol solution (1%) to 1 liter of water. After each douching, a swab with the drug should be placed in the vagina. It should be removed after about 12 hours. If the epithelium does not completely recover during the treatment of erosion, the course of therapy must be repeated.
The use of the drug "Chlorophyllipt" for the treatment of children
The drug is prescribed to babies quite often - in case of diseases caused by staphylococcal infection. Often, an alcoholic solution is included in the kit for newborns. For example, the processing of the navel "Chlorophyllipt" is performed if it is not possible to use green. In addition, the drug is used to disinfect skin areas on which suppuration or rashes occur. The Chlorophyllipt solution even has the ability to prevent complications such as pneumonia or a septic condition. Specific recommendations and dosage should be obtained from the pediatrician.
Precautionary measures
Many patients are interested in whether the Chlorophyllipt medication can harm the body. Instructions for use of the drug warns that before using it, it is necessary to determine the sensitivity of the body to the components included in the composition. To do this, combine 25 drops of the Chlorophyllipt solution with 25 ml of water (a tablespoon) and let the patient drink the mixture. In the absence of signs of an allergic reaction in the form of swelling of the larynx or mucous membrane in the mouth after 6-8 hours, the drug can be used for treatment. Moreover, the method of its application can be chosen by anyone: oral, intravenous, local or in the form of an enema.
Contraindications and side effects
Negative phenomena may occur during the use of the Chlorophyllipt drug. Instructions for use of the drug reports that the main and most serious side effect that may appear is swelling of the nasal mucosa, throat and face. Based on this, the only existing contraindication for the use of Chlorophyllipt is hypersensitivity to the components of the drug, especially to chlorophyll extracts of eucalyptus.
Since an allergic reaction to the drug is a fairly rare occurrence, the medicine can be purchased at any nearby pharmacy without a prescription. Next, we consider the features of the use of dosage forms of the drug "Chlorophyllipt."
Oil solution
This form of the drug is used in medicine locally and orally. The solution is used in the treatment of:
- festering wounds;
- inflammatory processes in the female genital area (external organs);
- ulcers of the duodenum or stomach;
- pneumonia;
- diseases of the digestive tract (caused by staphylococcal infection).
The main areas of medicine in which this dosage form of Chlorophyllipt is used (the instructions confirm this) are gastroenterology and gynecology. For the treatment of tonsillitis, such a solution is not used. Although some ENT doctors dispute this fact, and therefore consider the “Chlorophyllipt” (oil) solution to be an appropriate treatment for tonsillitis. The instructions for the throat to use it nevertheless do not advise.
Alcohol solution
The drug "Chlorophyllipt" with angina is prescribed quite often. An alcohol solution added to the rinse will best deal with the streptococci that caused the disease. The medication provides effective leaching of pus plugs in case of lacunar tonsillitis and disinfection of folds and cavities of the tonsils mucosa.
How to rinse “Chlorophylliptom” throat so as not to harm the mucous membrane? If an alcohol solution is used on the recommendation of a doctor, then the dosage should be sought in the prescription. The proportions of the dilution of the drug in water are individual in each case. Information on the exact dosage can also be found in the instructions. However, knowing how to prepare a rinse is not enough. It is also necessary to find out how often the procedure should be performed, otherwise, instead of treatment, it can be harmful to health.
Chlorophyllipt tablets
If an alcoholic solution of the drug is considered the best way to gargle with lacunar tonsillitis, then to get rid of cough with pharyngitis, the most optimal option is Chlorophyllipt tablets. The instruction confirms that the solid form of the drug works better in case of a change in the mucous membrane in the chronic form of the disease. The main advantage of Chlorophyllipt in tablets is ease of use and a longer exposure period.
Can a solid drug help get rid of a sore throat? Of course! Chlorophyllipt tablets also work in this case. But the best option is to combine their intake with a gargle, for which, as has already been said more than once, an alcoholic solution of the drug is used. Thus, a double effect can be achieved - the liquid form of the drug will clear the pus from the cavity, and the solid form will have an anti-inflammatory effect.
Spray and Injection
In the form of a spray, the medication “Chlorophyllipt” is used to irrigate the throat for colds. It acts by stopping coughing attacks and processes of an infectious nature. Solution for injection is used extremely rarely. An experienced specialist can tell in detail about his appointment.
