DECATYLENE: throat care with Swiss quality

When it’s rainy autumn outside and winter is on the doorstep, visitors increasingly come to the pharmacy complaining of feeling unwell and having a sore throat. In order to correctly recommend a medicine that will help in the fight against these symptoms of colds, it should be taken into account that each patient has his own selection criteria. For some, the determining factor is the cost of the drug, for others it is the ease of use. For others, it is important that the drug has a pleasant taste, and for those who lead an active lifestyle and spend most of their time on their feet, it is important that the drug fits easily in a pocket or bag.

At the same time, patients in their requirements for drugs used for acute inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity and pharynx are unanimous on one thing: it is important that the drugs are high-quality, effective, safe, have a pronounced antimicrobial effect, quickly relieve inflammation and pain, had a minimal range of contraindications and side effects and did not have a systemic effect, and also did not cause allergies.

The over-the-counter drug DECATYLENE, produced in Switzerland, meets all these requirements. Having been on the pharmaceutical market for quite a long time, he managed to gain the trust and recognition not only of a large number of patients, but also of doctors.

DECATYLENE is a combination drug in the form of lozenges with a pleasant mint taste, which contains two components: a broad-spectrum antiseptic (dequalinium chloride) and a local anesthetic (dibucaine hydrochloride).

Unlike many antiseptics, a component of the drug, dequalinium chloride , has an effect not only on most gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, but also on viruses, spirochetes, fungi (in particular the genus Candida), which cause mixed infectious and inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity and pharynx. Dequalinium chloride is also effective against those pathogenic microorganisms that exhibit resistance to antibacterial drugs of the tetracycline and chloramphenicol groups. And at the same time, all these microorganisms do not develop resistance to the action of dequalinium chloride, unlike that of antibiotics. This allows you to use DECATYLENE without fear that next time it will not have its effect.

The second component of DECATYLENE - the local anesthetic dibucaine hydrochloride - exhibits a mild local anesthetic effect, due to which the drug not only fights microbes, but also directly eliminates the pain syndrome itself, which is a frequent companion to many infectious and inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity and pharynx.

Also, a big advantage of the drug DECATYLENE is that, despite such a wide spectrum of action and activity, the components included in its composition have only a local effect, are practically not absorbed and do not enter the systemic bloodstream, due to the fact that they are destroyed by gastric juice, and therefore - do not affect the entire body.

In addition, DECATYLENE does not contain sugar and can be used by patients with diabetes. Due to the absence of sugar, lollipops also do not cause the development of caries.

To whom and for what diseases can DECATYLENE be used?

The drug is indicated for adults and children over the age of 4 years for the treatment of acute infectious and inflammatory diseases of the mouth and throat, such as gingivitis, ulcerative and aphthous stomatitis, tonsillitis, laryngitis and pharyngitis; for mixed infections of the mouth and throat. As an auxiliary drug, DECATYLENE can be taken for catarrhal and lacunar tonsillitis, Plaut-Vincent tonsillitis, as well as candidiasis of the oral cavity and pharynx.

However, the field of application of DECATYLENE is not only infectious and inflammatory diseases: its local anesthetic and bactericidal effect is also important in the postoperative period after tonsillectomy (removal of tonsils) and tooth extraction. Dibucaine hydrochloride will eliminate pain after surgery, and dequalinium chloride will prevent the development of infectious complications. In addition, having antimicrobial and fungistatic activity, DECATYLENE successfully helps get rid of bad breath.

All this leads to a very wide prescription of the drug by doctors of many specialties: otolaryngologists, dentists, pediatricians, infectious disease specialists, etc. Moreover, due to its over-the-counter status, DECATYLENE can be recommended as an effective anti-inflammatory and local analgesic to patients who complain of a sore throat or toothache.

When dispensing this drug, it is also important not to forget about the pharmaceutical care of your patients, which includes, in particular, a reminder of the dosage regimen.

DECATYLENE can be used in adults and children from the age when the child can dissolve a tablet (4 years).

Children over 4 years of age are prescribed 1 tablet every 3 hours, after improvement - 1 tablet every 4 hours. Adults and children over 12 years of age take 1 tablet every 2 hours, and after improvement - 1 tablet every 4 hours.

Do not forget to remind patients that DECATYLENE must be dissolved in the mouth until completely dissolved, without chewing. The maximum number of DECATYLENE lozenges that can be taken per day during an exacerbation of the disease is 10–12 and 6 after the severity of inflammatory phenomena has decreased. Recommend that patients use DECATYLENE until the symptoms of the disease are completely eliminated.

You will increase your authority in the eyes of the patient if you also give him general recommendations that should be followed in the treatment of acute infectious and inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity and larynx:

– after taking DECATYLENE, it is important to refrain from drinking any liquid, eating or brushing your teeth for at least half an hour, as this may reduce the therapeutic effect of the drug;

– treatment with DECATYLENE will become more effective if the patient drinks a large amount of warm liquid (tea, milk) during the day, and gargles well before using the drug;

– you should also refrain from smoking and inhaling cigarette smoke, drinking alcohol, cold food or drinks;

– palatable DECATYLENE lozenges should be kept out of the reach of children to prevent them from taking all the tablets at once;

– when using the drug DECATYLENE, a feeling of numbness in the mouth appears - this is not a side effect of the drug;

– since the drug does not contain sugar, it can be used by patients with diabetes.

DECATYLENE, like other medicines produced, is the embodiment of high - Swiss - quality and efficiency, helping pharmacies to “keep their mark” and patients to become healthy!
