PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

Combined for topical use, contains antiseptic and local anesthetic.

Cetylpyridinium chloride is an antiseptic from the group of quaternary ammonium compounds, it has bactericidal activity against Gram-positive and to a lesser extent Gram-negative bacteria.
It changes the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria, disrupts the internal oxidative mechanisms of respiration of bacteria, which leads to their death. Cetylpyridinium chloride has antifungal and antiviral activity against enveloped viruses.
Lidocaine hydrochloride is a local anesthetic from the group of amides, and in inflammatory processes it relieves pain in the throat when swallowing.
Lidocaine disrupts the permeability of the cell membrane for sodium ions, which leads to anesthesia as a result of blockade of nerve impulses.
PHARMACOKINETICS

Cetylpyridinium chloride is practically not absorbed through the mucosa of the oral cavity.

Lidocaine hydrochloride is poorly absorbed through the mucous membrane of the oral cavity.
When ingested, it is absorbed, undergoing a metabolism during the "first passage" through the liver. When administered orally, its bioavailability is about 35%. Metabolites are excreted together with urine, less than 10% of the substance is excreted unchanged.
