Chlorophyllipt solution is an inexpensive medicine that is very popular among those who want to put their nasopharynx in order, namely: get rid of pain, cough, purulent plugs formed on inflamed tonsils, swelling of the mucous membrane and other manifestations of tonsillitis, pharyngitis and their numerous complications and varieties.
How much is this drug, is it so omnipotent, how consumers say about it, what are the indications for use - we will talk about this in this article.
Chlorophyllipt solution: when is it prescribed and what effect does it have?
The presented drug got its name due to such active components as chlorophyll extract a and b, which are secreted from eucalyptus. Essential oil, as well as ready-made decoctions from the leaves of the aforementioned southern tree, have long been used for the treatment of diseases of the upper respiratory tract. However, the presented product contains only pure chlorophyll, which has a greater antimicrobial activity than the same substance contained in alcoholic infusions or decoctions of eucalyptus leaves.
It should immediately be noted that, unlike antibiotic preparations, an oily, compressed or alcoholic solution of chlorophyllipt does not have polyvalent antibacterial properties and destroys only cocci, especially staphylococci.
Thus, none of the existing types of staphylococci, which become the causative agents of a huge number of serious ailments of the upper respiratory tract, can resist the antimicrobial activity of this agent. In this regard, I want to note that a solution of chlorophyllipt for gargling is used very often. That is why this tool is the most effective drug aimed at combating tonsillitis, chronic tonsillitis, pharyngitis, stomatitis, rhinitis, sinusitis, etc.
The effectiveness of the treatment of diseases of the nasopharynx
An alcoholic or oily solution of chlorophyllipt quickly leads to a relief of the condition of a patient suffering from tonsillitis. In this case, pain and sore throat disappear almost immediately. In addition, tonsil lacunae are instantly released from pustular plugs, thereby allowing the patient to feel significant relief. After several rinses of alcohol in a person, symptoms of pharyngitis such as perspiration and an annoying cough completely disappear . If you use an oily solution of chlorophyllipt to instill it in the nose, then the patient runs a runny nose quite quickly, mucus secretion decreases and all swelling subsides. It should also be noted that this tool is actively used to treat diseases such as sinusitis and sinusitis.
Indications for use
A solution of chlorophyllipt for gargling is used quite often. However, this tool is intended not only for the treatment of the oral cavity, throat and nasopharynx. After all, oil or alcohol solutions are often prescribed for douching in case of any diseases of the genital organs (female), as well as inside as part of the complex therapy of bronchitis and stomach ulcers. In addition, this drug is very often used topically for burns and purulent wounds, intravenously for pneumonia and septic conditions, which are caused by staphylococcal flora resistant to antibiotics. One cannot ignore the fact that the diluted chlorophyllipt solution ( treatment instructions will be presented below) are actively used by surgeons during rinsing of cavities with empyema and peritonitis, as well as by otolaryngologists when cleaning the sinuses. And this is not the whole list of where the presented tool is used.
Chlorophyllipt (oil solution): instructions for use
As mentioned above, this tool is used both for oral administration and topically. Since such a drug has a wide spectrum of action, its instruction contains a whole list of those diseases against which the presented medication is directed. To understand how it should be used to treat certain diseases, we will consider all cases separately.
Female organ treatment
For the treatment of cervical erosion, all folds of the vagina should be dried in advance with tampons or cotton pads. After this, the channel of the diseased organ must be lubricated with oily chlorophyllipt. It is also necessary to soak a sanitary tampon in the preparation and leave it in the vagina for a quarter of an hour. The above activities are recommended to be carried out once a day for 9-10 days. Then, for 2 weeks, you should use a solution of chlorophyllipt for douching in the following ratio: 1 large spoon of 1% alcohol in 1 liter of filtered water. After such an event, it is required to again use a swab dipped in an oil preparation, but leave it in the vagina for 12 hours already. In case of urgent need, this course of treatment is allowed to be repeated.
Local Wound Treatment
For the treatment of burns, trophic ulcers of the extremities, as well as for long non-healing wounds, a gauze dressing in an oily solution of chlorophyllip should be soaked and applied to the damaged area of the skin. This procedure is recommended to alternate with the use of alcohol, diluted in a ratio of 1 to 10.
Other uses of chlorophyllipt
An oil solution (the instruction is always attached to this tool) 20 mg / ml is actively used for local therapy of sphincteritis and hemorrhoids, as well as for lubricating the tip of relaxing enemas.
It is also worth noting that the drug presented is also used to treat diseases that are caused by antibiotic-resistant staphylococci. In this case, the dose of the drug for adults is 5 ml orally four times a day for 2-4 weeks.
Gastric ulcer treatment
A solution of chlorophyllipt (the price of the drug varies between 45-110 rubles) is also used for complex therapy of stomach ulcers. In this case, this drug is prescribed to adults in an amount of 5 ml (the medicine should be mixed in the mouth with 40 ml of drinking water) three times a day for 21 days. After 12 weeks, the course must be repeated.
To understand how to take this drug, imagine a detailed diagram:
- 1st reception - on an empty stomach 60-70 minutes before eating;
- 2nd dose - 4 hours after the 1st dose (60 minutes before meals);
- 3rd reception - 2-4 hours after eating, preferably before bedtime.
By the way, such treatment is considered equally effective when this drug is injected into the ulcer using an endoscope (1 time per day for a week).
Nasopharynx treatment
For the treatment of diseases of the upper respiratory tract, chlorophyllipt is very often used. Gargling solution can be prepared on the basis of oil, and with the help of alcohol. To do this, the selected drug in the amount of a small spoon must be mixed with a glass of warm water.
It is also worth noting that in diseases of the ENT organs (ethmoiditis, sinusitis, etc.), chlorophyllipt is prescribed inside by a dessert spoon four times a day for a week. In addition, it can be instilled into the sinus of 5-10 drops 3-5 times a day in a lying position with his head thrown back.
For adults with acute laryngobronchitis, this drug is prescribed orally by 5 ml four times a day for 9-10 days. If you have uncomplicated nasal furunculosis, then chlorophyllipt should be applied topically in the form of gauze dressings moistened with a 1% alcohol solution (in a ratio of 1 to 10), alternating with an oily agent (20 mg / ml). Such tampons are preferably changed 2 or 4 times a day.
Side effects and contraindications
The most serious and main side effect of tablets and chlorophyllipt solutions (oil and alcohol) is the likelihood of allergic reactions to the skin. In addition, the patient may form swelling of the face, mucous membranes of the nose and throat. In this regard, the only contraindication to the use of this drug is hypersensitivity to the components of the drug and eucalyptus chlorophyll. However, it should be noted that the frequency of allergic reactions during treatment with such a drug is not too high. That is why it can be purchased at a pharmacy without a doctor’s prescription.
