Instructions

Form, composition, packaging

Orasept spray is used topically.
This is a dosed drug that consists of a solution in a yellow-green color scheme that is transparent. It has a pronounced aroma (peppermint). The active component benzydamine hydrochloride is supplemented with purified water, methyl parahydroxybenzoate, dye E132 85% indigotine, 96% ethanol, dye E104 yellow quinoline 70, glycerol, sodium bicarbonate, peppermint flavor, polysorbate 60, sodium saccharinate.

In plastic containers with a dispensing device, a spray with a volume of thirty milliliters (the drug is designed for 176 doses) is placed in an individual cardboard box complete with a folding tip.

Storage period and conditions

The spray is stored for up to four years under normal conditions at room temperature.

Pharmacology

The drug belongs to NSAIDs and has the following pharmacological properties:

• excellent penetration into areas of inflammation;
• anti-inflammatory effect (based on cytokine suppression);
• local analgesic (related to the structural features of the active substance molecule);
• antiseptic (rapid penetration into the membranes of pathogenic cells and disruption of their structures, as well as metabolic processes);
• antifungal effect (active against twenty strains/prevents the reproduction of fungal cells).

Pharmacokinetics

Local use of the drug promotes rapid penetration through the mucous membranes to tissues subject to inflammation. The active component can be detected in blood plasma, but in insignificant quantities to manifest systemic effects.

Excretion is carried out through the intestines and kidneys by metabolites.

Oracept spray - what does it consist of and how does it work?

Per 1 ml of product there are 14 mg of phenol, which is the active component. In addition, the composition includes substances that form the texture of the drug:

The medicine is available in the form of a clear liquid, colored red, with a bright cherry aroma. It is packaged in shaped polyethylene terephthalate bottles with a capacity of 177 ml with a dispensing sprayer and a plastic cap.

Orasept is a local anesthetic spray. Due to the action of phenol, a sore throat quickly calms down. The medicine has antifungal and bactericidal activity. The auxiliary components in its composition soften the irritated mucous membrane of the oropharyngeal area, remove swelling and redness.

Phenol is absorbed in the oral cavity by mucus and is excreted in the form of metabolites, partly through the digestive tract and partly through the kidneys. The active element in low concentrations does not have a significant effect on the functioning of systemic organs.

Features of pharmacokinetics

When applied topically, the active component of the anti-inflammatory non-steroidal drug is well absorbed through the mucous membranes. It quickly penetrates into inflamed tissue. Therefore, the drug is active in the treatment of pharyngitis and tonsillitis.

Benzydamine hydrochloride is found in small amounts in blood plasma. Therefore, the spray does not have a negative effect on the functioning of internal organs. The drug is excreted primarily by the kidneys: in the form of metabolites.

Pharmadynamics

Benzydamine hydrochloride is an NSAID, an indazole derivative, without a carboxyl group. The absence of a carboxyl group gives the following features: benzydamine is a weak base (whereas most NSAIDs are weak acids), has high lipophilicity, penetrates well into the site of inflammation along the pH gradient (where the pH is lower) and accumulates in therapeutic concentrations.

It has an anti-inflammatory and local analgesic effect, has an antiseptic (against a wide range of microorganisms), as well as an antifungal effect.

The anti-inflammatory effect of the drug is due to a decrease in capillary permeability, stabilization of cell membranes due to inhibition of synthesis and inactivation of PG, histamine, bradykinin, cytokines, complement factors and other nonspecific endogenous damaging factors.

Benzidamine suppresses the production of proinflammatory cytokines, especially TNF-α, and to a lesser extent, IL-1β. The main feature of benzydamine is that, being a weak inhibitor of PG synthesis, it demonstrates powerful inhibition of proinflammatory cytokines. For this reason, benzydamine may be classified as a cytokine-suppressing anti-inflammatory drug.

The local anesthetic effect of benzydamine is associated with the structural features of its molecule, similar to local anesthetics. The analgesic effect is due to an indirect decrease in the concentration of biogenic amines, which have algogenic properties, and an increase in the pain sensitivity threshold of the receptor apparatus; benzydamine also blocks the interaction of bradykinin with tissue receptors, restores microcirculation and reduces pain sensitivity at the site of inflammation.

Benzidamine has an antibacterial effect due to rapid penetration through the membranes of microorganisms with subsequent damage to cellular structures, disruption of metabolic processes and cell lysosomes.

It has an antifungal effect against 20 strains of Candida albicans and non-albicans strains, causing structural modifications of the cell wall of fungi and their metabolic chains, thus preventing their reproduction.

Popular analogues

Angidak is also used for sore throat. The active component of the drug is benzydamine hydrochloride. The drug is prepared in the form of a yellowish or colorless solution. The spray has a characteristic mint aroma.

The product also contains auxiliary components: polysorbate-20, hydrochloric acid, ethanol, glycerin, sodium bicarbonate. Angidak is slightly cheaper than Oralcept. The average cost of one package of medicine is 180 rubles.

Angidak has a local anti-inflammatory and anesthetic effect. The mechanism of action of the drug is based on inhibition of the process of prostaglandin synthesis. The active component of the drug quickly penetrates the membranes of pathogenic microorganisms, causing damage to their cellular structures.

Some other spray analogues are listed in the corresponding table.

To enhance the effect of Oralcept or its analogues for tonsillitis, it is recommended to gargle. For this purpose, decoctions made from eucalyptus or chamomile are used. You can also buy a ready-made Rotokan solution of plant origin at the pharmacy. The product contains extracts of yarrow and chamomile.

If for some reason it is not possible to use Orasept in the treatment of a throat or any dental diseases, it can be replaced with another local remedy. The doctor will recommend one of these analogues.

• "Tantum Verde". This spray contains benzydamine, which has an anti-inflammatory effect, as well as antifungal and antimicrobial effects. It can be sprayed onto the lining of the oropharynx for children over three years of age or replaced with Tantum Verde tablets, which have a mint flavor, a square shape and a green color. In addition, a solution is also produced under this name, but it is prescribed only from 12 years of age.
• "Stomatidin". This solution has antiseptic properties due to the presence of hexethidine in the composition. It is used in children over five years of age for the treatment of stomatitis, tonsillitis and other pathologies, for which Orasept is also used. Instead of "Stomatidin", analogues with the same active ingredient, for example, "Maxicold Lor" or "Hexoral", can also be prescribed.
• "Inhalipt." This combination medicine acts on microorganisms that provoke an inflammatory process in the oropharynx. This spray is prescribed to patients over three years of age for laryngitis, stomatitis, tonsillitis and other diseases.
• "Miramistin". This antiseptic liquid destroys many bacteria and fungi, as well as viruses, so it is often used for sore throat, gingivitis and other pathologies. One of the main advantages of such a drug is its safety at any age, due to which Miramistin is prescribed even to infants.
• "Oralcept". Despite the similar name, this medicine works thanks to benzydamine, like Tantum Verde. This spray is in demand for inflammation of the oral mucosa, laryngitis and other throat diseases. It is prescribed to children over three years of age.

Reviews from doctors

Dentists recommend Orasept for the treatment of stomatitis in children, adults and pregnant women. They consider it one of the best antiseptics of our time. The drug effectively relieves inflammation and symptoms, fights pathogenic pathogens, eliminating the cause of the disease. Thanks to the complex effect, the risk of relapse of stomatitis is minimal.

If there is no effect from the use of the drug (which is unlikely), it is recommended to undergo additional examination to clarify the root cause, which may lie in concomitant internal pathology.
