Spray "Proposol" is a biogenic stimulant of combined action for topical use. This drug is used in dentistry and otorhinolaryngology to treat inflammatory processes of the oral mucosa. But before using the product, you need to familiarize yourself with its features and rules of use. And also clarify at what age Proposol spray can be used for children. This will not only allow for effective therapy, but also avoid side effects.

Proposol instructions for use

The drug is quite easy to use:

1. Before the first use, put on the removable sprayer and press it a couple of times to ensure that the contents get into the spray.
2. Before each use, rinse your mouth and throat with water.
3. Next, the spray tube is inserted into the oral cavity and directed to the desired area of ​​the throat and mouth.
4. When spraying, breathing is held.

Make 2-4 presses and ensure the same distribution of the medicine throughout the throat. Taking into account the fact that Proposol has an aggressive effect on the mucous membrane, the medicine is sprayed up to three times a day.

Is Proposol allowed for children and during pregnancy?

Proposol is contraindicated for children because:

• the drug contains a large amount of alcohol;
• propolis contains about 200 fermented compounds, most of which provoke allergies;
• reviews warn that special studies of the effect on the children's body have not been conducted;
• Proposol spray irritates the throat and causes a burning sensation after applying alcohol.

Children should be prescribed less aggressive and effective throat medications.

Proposol is also not recommended to be used during pregnancy, as well as during lactation. This is due to the fact that the safety of the spray has not been tested in studies. Taking into account the high allergenicity of the product and the alcohol content during pregnancy, it is worth abandoning Proposol, replacing it with neutral drugs.

"PROPOSOL" (spray): composition

• This drug is famous for its fairly high propolis content. This component is known to be extracted naturally, so it is completely natural. Propolis is a waste product of bees. If we consider the ingredient from the physical side, it is sticky and feels like resin. The color of propolis varies, ranging from brown to dark green. The substance has been known for medicine for a long time; it is often included in folk remedies. Effective for infections, wounds, psoriasis. The medication contains a component weight of 2.1 grams;
• The auxiliary material is distilled glycerin. This is a colorless liquid that is a trihydric alcohol. Unlike propolis, glycerin is obtained through chemical manipulation. But it was also relevant in ancient times. Now the ingredient can be found in various moisturizing creams. Amount in medicine - 4.9 grams;
• Ethyl alcohol plays a big role in the creation of any pharmaceutical products. It has good antiseptic properties. What makes alcohol valuable is its ability to dissolve many chemical materials. In the medical product its content is 28 grams;
• An auxiliary ingredient is freon-12, which is used to create the spray as a raw material that is safe for humans. The preparation uses 15 grams of this substance.

Application and dosage regimen

The aerosol is used to irrigate the mouth and pharynx under low pressure. Before use, the protective cap is removed from the cylinder, and a sprayer is attached to a special valve.

It is carefully inserted into the oral cavity (shallowly, so as not to provoke a gag reflex), after which short-term (1-2 seconds) pressure is applied to the head. In parallel with pressing, you can inhale for deeper penetration of Proposol (for example, into the area of ​​the palatine tonsils)

After spraying, it is not advisable to drink liquid or eat food for half an hour.

After completing the procedure, it is necessary to remove the sprayer, rinse it with running water and dry it well, and close the container itself with a protective cap.

Important! The required duration of the course of treatment is determined only by the attending physician, according to the dynamics of the process.

Children and adolescents over 12 years of age are usually prescribed single irrigations 2-3 times a day until acute clinical manifestations subside. As the condition improves, procedures are performed no more than 1-2 times a day. The average course duration varies from 3 to 7 days.

Composition and release form of Proposol

The aerosol is produced in Russia, since beekeeping products have always been used as food here, and also added to drinks for the purpose of antimicrobial effects.

In Western countries, where the problem of allergies is acute, it is not customary to use beekeeping products.

The composition of Proposol includes the following components:

• 6% propolis;
• 14% glycerol;
• 80% medical alcohol.

Since the proportion of alcohol in the preparation is high, it has a pronounced alcoholic odor. The color of the medicine can be green, yellow or brown.

Reviews

Spray "Proposol" has both its supporters and opponents. You can find many reviews about this drug on the Internet. Moreover, they are all diverse.

But at the same time, all patient opinions agree on one thing: that the drug is really effective in treating various diseases of the oral cavity. However, negative reviews about “Proposol” (spray) for stomatitis and other pathologies are in most cases caused by an unpleasant burning sensation after irrigating the product.

The main qualities of the medicine for which patients value it.

1. Quickly relieves pain. The analgesic effect lasts for several hours. This result is much better in comparison with other similar products.
2. Effectively relieves inflammation. Noticeable relief when using Proposol occurs within the first 2 days.
3. Convenient to use. The bottle with the product is equipped with a nozzle with a long spout, this allows you to spray the product directly onto the affected area without any difficulty.

How to use

• remove the protective cap from the aerosol;
• attach a spray nozzle to the existing valve;
• insert the spray into the oral cavity;
• Gently press the nozzle head and hold for two seconds;
• Carry out irrigation actions at the inhalation stage.

Proposol is effectively used to treat inflammatory lesions, as well as to irrigate the entire oral cavity. Upon completion of this manipulation, the spray nozzle must be removed from the container and the aerosol must be closed with a protective cap. After use, it is recommended to rinse the sprayer under warm running water and leave to dry in a warm place.

Under no circumstances should aerosol storage areas be used near open flames or exposed to high temperatures.

The duration of the therapeutic course depends on the nature of the pathological condition and the individual characteristics of each patient’s body. Only a specialist can draw up an exact treatment plan.

The recommended dosage for adults and children over 12 years of age is 2-3 oral irrigation procedures during the day. Proposol is not recommended for younger children in order to avoid the development of undesirable reactions for the body.

The drug is usually used until the acute manifestations of the infectious disease completely disappear. As soon as the clinical picture has improved sufficiently, the frequency of use is reduced to 1-2 times a day. You should not use the drug without consulting your doctor for more than 10 days.

Instructions for use of Proposol

The use of Proposol throat aerosol is simple and convenient:

1. When using the drug for the first time, you must put a removable sprayer on the can, and then press it several times in a row so that the medicinal contents begin to flow into the pump.
2. Before using the aerosol spray, it is recommended to rinse your throat and mouth with water.
3. Carefully insert the spray tube into the oral cavity and direct it to the area requiring medicinal treatment.
4. During the inhalation phase, perform 2-4 presses, evenly distributing the aerosol liquid.

This procedure must be performed twice a day for 10-14 days. It is very effective for the treatment of purulent sore throat and other throat lesions.

In addition, there are other ways to use propolis-based medicine.

For the treatment of sinusitis and rhinitis, there are two options for its use:

• Irrigation of the sinuses with a spray directly from an aerosol bottle (no more than 1-2 presses in each nostril);
• Preparation of a solution from Prosol emulsion and table salt diluted in water in proportions of 1:10. (this remedy should be used for 14 days, twice a day).

To treat otitis media, it is recommended to soak a sterile gauze swab with Proposol spray with propolis and insert it into the affected ear.

For periodontitis and periodontal disease, such a tampon is recommended to be applied to the affected areas of the gums.

Tonsillitis, pharyngitis, sore throat and other throat diseases can be cured by preparing a gargling solution. To do this, you will need to dilute 15 ml of Proposol in 1/2 cup of water. The optimal frequency of this procedure is 3 times a day until complete recovery.

In the presence of dermatitis, dermatoses, as well as long-healing wounds, applying gauze or cotton sterile swabs soaked in aerosol liquid to the affected surface of the skin effectively helps.

Operating principle of Proposol

Beeswax-based spray belongs to the category of combination medications. When applied to the affected skin and mucous membrane of the throat, an anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effect is observed. In addition, the pharmacological properties of the drug include:

• fungicidal,
• wound healing,
• bactericidal
• virostatic.

Thanks to the active component - propolis - the medication can be successfully used in the treatment of various pathological conditions of both an infectious and purulent-inflammatory nature. This drug is positioned as a natural antibiotic, which, unlike synthetic drugs, does not disrupt the normal intestinal microflora.

The main advantage of the drug is its harmlessness to the body, the absence of unwanted reactions and deterioration in the general condition of the patient. The active ingredient propolis is effective against a number of pathogens, even those that are highly resistant to most antibacterial medications.

• vitamins A, group B, E, PP;
• flavones;
• resins;
• organic acids;
• mineral components;
• salt.

The action of natural components manifests itself according to the following principle:

• pathogens are destroyed;
• the body's immune forces are activated;
• metabolic processes in tissues improve;
• pain in the affected area is relieved;
• stimulation of the recovery process of infected cells is observed;
• the elasticity of blood vessels increases, their fragility is eliminated;
• The body's protective function against free radicals is activated.

Due to the ability of glycerin to retain water, the mucous membranes do not dry out. This component has a softening effect on the affected area.

Ethanol has a powerful antiseptic effect. It does not irritate the sensitive tissues of the throat and oral cavity, and also has an astringent effect.

What is Proposol spray used for?

The drug is prescribed for the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity as part of combination or monotherapy. It can be used both at the initial stage of development and when a purulent-necrotic process occurs.

Main indications for use:

• stomatitis of various etiologies, including aphthous;
• infectious or traumatic glossitis;
• acute or chronic tonsillitis;
• catarrhal gingivitis of a point or widespread nature.

According to numerous reviews, Proposol spray for the throat and mouth helps to quickly relieve pain and reduce inflammation, so it is recommended to use it at the first signs of a pathological process.

As part of a complex treatment, this remedy is used to treat inflammatory processes of the nasopharynx: sinusitis, sinusitis, rhinitis, frontal sinusitis.

Proposol spray also shows high therapeutic effectiveness for difficult-to-heal wounds, microtraumas and various skin lesions.

Contraindications and side effects

The use of the drug for the treatment of sore throats and pharyngitis is not recommended for those patients who have hypersensitivity to bee products. People with progressive eczema are also prohibited from using the product.

Side effects after using the medication are:

• uncomfortable burning sensation at the site where the drug was sprayed;
• attacks of nausea;
• allergic type reactions;
• increased dryness in the mouth.

If one of the symptoms appears, you should definitely contact your doctor for advice. There may be a need to replace the drug with another, more suitable one. The affected areas of the mucous membrane must be washed with plenty of boiled water, and in some special cases, antiallergic drugs - histamine blockers - may be prescribed.

The use of the drug Proposol for the treatment of throat gives positive results. Due to the fact that the drug Proposol is created on a natural basis, it practically does not cause adverse reactions, but at the same time has pronounced effectiveness against various bacterial and viral microorganisms.

But it is worth remembering that using Proposol in the form of a spray, tincture or emulsion is not recommended for children under 12 years of age, pregnant women and during lactation.

Overdose and side effects

Studies have shown that this drug is well tolerated by patients. But in some cases, ignoring the indicated dosage in the instructions for the drug, as well as the waiting period between doses, can lead to the development of side effects.

They are expressed as follows:

• burning in the spray area;
• nausea;
• dry mucous membranes;
• redness;
• lacrimation;
• laryngospasm;
• dyspnea;
• allergic rhinitis.

If unpleasant symptoms increase after using the drug, it is recommended to stop therapy and consult a doctor to change the medication.

As first aid in case of overdose, it is necessary to rinse the mouth with boiled water.

Terms of use

Throat spray containing propolis must be used correctly. This will prevent you from harming your health. General recommendations are as follows:

1. If the drug is used for the first time, then before pointing the sprayer at the sore throat, you need to press it several times, pointing the tube to the side. This will allow you to pump the solution and then fully irrigate your sore throat.
2. Before applying the drug to the mucous membranes, you need to clean them of food particles and other contaminants. To do this, the oropharynx is rinsed with warm boiled water.
3. The nebulizer tube is inserted into the mouth and directed to the area of ​​inflammation.
4. During treatment, you must hold your breath.
5. Press the button 3 times. This is enough for the spray to be evenly distributed over the mucous membranes.

Treatment during lactation general recommendations

I would like to note the fact that there is very little scientific research on the effect of medications that are used by a nursing mother on the baby’s body. For many drugs, such studies have simply never been conducted. It has not been revealed which drug and in what dosage can pass into breast milk. Thus, the instructions for medications do not recommend their use during breastfeeding due to the lack of necessary research. Of course, there is a list of drugs used during lactation that have been studied

But it is necessary to remember that many of them still pass into breast milk, so medications should be used carefully, namely, strictly according to the indications of the attending physician, in no case exceed the dose and monitor the baby’s condition. If a negative effect occurs on the baby, then this drug is contraindicated during lactation.

The level of the medicine’s not-so-good effect on your baby’s body can be determined by the following criteria:

1. Danger of occurrence and development of an allergic reaction;
2. Drug toxicity;
3. The individual sensitivity of the baby to a particular medicine;
4. The amount of the drug that enters the baby’s body, namely the dose, the concentration of the drug in breast milk and the amount of milk the baby drinks;
5. Duration of taking the drug by a nursing mother;
6. The peculiarity of the effect of the drug on the fragile organs of the baby;
7. Duration of removal of the medicine from the child’s body.

"PROPOSOL" (spray): reviews

The medicine has helped quite a lot of people. They shared the results of the good effects of Proposol in the comments. Let's read some of them:

In winter I am very susceptible to respiratory diseases. When I have a fever, a severe cough and other symptoms of disappointing illnesses, I go to the doctor. They always prescribed different remedies, but finally I found one that works. This aerosol saves me in the most hopeless situations!

But when he grew up, and there were no other medicines at hand, he had to take a risk. The spray didn't do anything bad. On the contrary, he quickly alleviated the teenager’s condition;

Everything in the spray is normal, just check yourself for allergies. Some people don't know they have an intolerance. It happened to me with a friend. I used it once and ended up in the hospital simply due to my ignorance in this matter.

Proposol during pregnancy and features of use of the drug

Pregnant women should use Proposol with caution. The doctor must carefully assess the possible risks to the fetus, depending on the trimester and course of pregnancy

Treatment with the drug is prescribed only if its effectiveness for the woman’s health exceeds the negative effect on the fetus.

The course of treatment with Proposol during pregnancy should not exceed one week.

Breastfeeding women should be very careful when using the drug. It may cause an allergic reaction in an infant. You cannot make your own decision about treatment with Proposol both during pregnancy and during breastfeeding. In this case, a doctor's consultation is necessary.

“PROPOSOL” (spray): which analogues are cheaper?

There are times when you cannot use the original due to allergies or other diseases, in such a situation worthy analogues come to the rescue:

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Thanks to glycerin, propolis and ethyl alcohol, the drug has a bacteriostatic, fungicidal, anti-inflammatory effect. The product accelerates the healing process of wounds.

Propolis, which is part of the product, is a waste product of bees that process sticky substances collected from plants. The component contains organic acids and amino acids, vitamins (vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, nicotinic acid and tocopherol) and min. substances. Resins, flavones, benzoic acid and cinnamic acid, also included in propolis, have a strong bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect.

Depending on the time of year and the location of the bee hive, the quantitative composition of propolis varies significantly. In this regard, bacteria do not produce strains resistant to the substance. The component has a very wide spectrum of action; propolis is active even against some microorganisms that are not affected by antibiotics. It does not cause dysbacteriosis or disruption of mucosal microflora.

Phenols strengthen blood vessels, protect tissues from the effects of free radicals, and inhibit unnecessary oxidation processes. Propolis improves immunity, improves metabolism, and accelerates regeneration. The substance is also a good pain reliever (locally).

Glycerin moisturizes the oral mucosa and respiratory tract and prevents it from drying out. Alcohol molecules retain water in tissues against the background of severe dehydration during the inflammatory process.

Ethanol is a monohydric alcohol and a strong antiseptic. Proposol contains 96% alcohol, which slightly irritates tissues, but has an astringent effect and disinfects. The component leads to protein denaturation in the cytoplasm and on the membranes of pathogenic organisms.

The medicine is intended exclusively for topical use, and therefore its systemic absorption is small and insignificant.

Pharmacological properties

According to the instructions for use, the Proposol spray has a bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect. Moreover, antibacterial activity is fully manifested against gram-positive microorganisms, and selectively against gram-negative ones. In addition, “Proposol” has an antiviral effect, which is due to the presence of cinnamic acid in propolis.

Laboratory studies have shown that the drug also reduces the production of mediators of inflammation and pain, which confirms its anti-inflammatory properties. It has been recorded that some microorganisms resistant to antibiotics die under the influence of Proposol.

Main properties of the spray:

• improves tissue regeneration;
• relieves pain;
• relieves inflammation;
• inhibits the development of bacteria;
• promotes wound healing;
• improves metabolism in cells;
• increases local immunity;
• strengthens the walls of blood vessels and prevents their fragility.

Glycerin, which is part of the product, helps to intensively moisturize the tissues of the oral cavity, which reduces their irritation and prevents drying out.

Rules of application

Depending on the form of release of the drug, the instructions will vary. To treat inflammatory processes in the upper respiratory tract, Proposol aerosol, tincture and emulsion are used. It is worth remembering that treatment with this medication requires prior consultation with a specialist. Despite the fact that Proposol is created on the basis of natural ingredients, it can cause allergic reactions, including anaphylactic shock.

Instructions for use of Proposol in the form of an aerosol

Before starting treatment with Proposol in the form of a spray, you must remove the protective cap from the can and put on a special sprayer. The following is the action plan:

1. The free part of the sprayer is inserted into the oral cavity and the inflamed parts are irrigated for 2 seconds.
2. After use, close the container with a lid and wash the sprayer under running water.
3. It is necessary to spray the medicine during the exhalation phase.
4. Eating is prohibited until the characteristic burning sensation in the mouth disappears.
5. Children over 12 years of age and adult patients need to use the product several times a day.
6. The therapeutic course lasts from 5 to 7 days.

Application of Proposol in the form of an emulsion

This form of the drug is used for inhalation. The emulsion is first diluted with hot water, maintaining a ratio of 1:3. In order to quickly eliminate the inflammatory process in the throat, it is necessary to carry out at least 2 procedures per day. The total inhalation time is from 10 to 15 minutes.

Use Proposol emulsion for throat as a gargle for inflammation of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity. Carry out 6-7 procedures per day. The course of treatment is from 5 to 7 days.

Use of Proposol for children under 12 years of age

A propolis-based medicine for sore throat is contraindicated for young children. This is due to several reasons:

1. Proposol contains alcohol in its composition. The amount of spray in contact with the mucous membrane at one time contains 0.29 g of ethyl alcohol.
2. High allergenicity. The main active ingredient of the drug contains 180 compounds fermented by honey bees. Most of them can cause severe allergic reactions.
3. No special studies have been conducted to prove the safety of the medicine for children.
4. Proposol has the property of strongly baking the mucous membranes of the oral cavity due to the presence of the alcohol component.

Application of Prosol in tincture

Alcohol tincture Proposol is effective for inflammatory processes in the maxillary and frontal sinuses. It is used to prepare a solution by dissolving the medicine in saline solution (ratio 1:10). The manipulation is carried out several times a day, and the course of treatment with Proposol ranges from 7 days to two weeks.

Analogs

If the drug is not available, you can use products with a similar effect. Each of these drugs has some features that should be taken into account when carrying out therapy.

1. "Inhalipt." The release form of the drug is an aerosol. Active components of the product: peppermint and eucalyptus oil, sulfanilamide. The advantage is low cost. But frequent use of the spray can cause pathogens to become accustomed to its action.
2. "Kameton." A Russian-made drug, the active component of which is chlorobutanol. In addition, the medicine contains levomenthol, camphor and eucalyptus oil. Thanks to this, the spray has an anesthetic and refreshing effect. The product can be used for children over 5 years of age.
3. "Hexoral". An antibacterial and antifungal drug that is prescribed for the treatment of infectious diseases of the oral cavity. The main active component of the drug is hexetidine, which not only eliminates the unpleasant symptoms of diseases, but also inhibits the further development of pathogens.

Indications for use of Proposol spray

Propolis is an active component of the Proposol spray; this substance is a powerful natural immunostimulant, which includes resins, enzymes, pollen and essential oils.

Propolis has unique properties:

• relieves pain;
• eliminates signs of inflammation;
• kills germs;
• enhances regeneration processes.

Spray Proposol can be used for the complex treatment of various diseases and inflammations of the oral cavity and pharynx; this is presented in more detail in the table.

Spray Proposol for diseases of the oral cavity

The instructions for the drug indicate that Proposol spray can be used as an adjuvant for various diseases of the oral cavity, namely:

• aphthous stomatitis;
• scratches and damage;
• gingivitis – inflammation of the gums;
• periodontitis.

Some of these diseases are accompanied by severe suppuration and bleeding. Spray Proposol not only disinfects tissues, but also stimulates and accelerates tissue regeneration processes, as a result of which the patient’s recovery period is reduced to 3-4 days.

Spray Proposol for the treatment of pharyngitis and sore throat

The drug Proposol is effective specifically for pharyngitis or sore throat. The disinfecting effect of the spray is due to the propolis and alcohol included in the composition.

Ethyl alcohol promotes the immediate coagulation of the proteins of the infectious agent, as a result of which it can no longer multiply and spread throughout the body through the bloodstream. In addition, ethyl alcohol has a detrimental effect not only on microorganisms, but also on fungi, viruses, and protozoa.

During clinical trials of the drug, it was found that even antibiotic-resistant microorganisms die from the substances included in Proposol.

Important! Proposol throat spray cannot replace antibiotic treatment for sore throat, but only supplement it and shorten the period of the disease. Refusal of antibacterial drugs in favor of Proposol alone in most cases leads to severe complications of angina

Composition of the drug

The active component of the Proposol spray is propolis, which is a natural antiseptic. The therapeutic effect is achieved due to the high content of phenolic acids, cinnamic acid, flavonoids, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and essential oils.

The composition of “Proposol” (spray) also includes auxiliary components: glycerin, ethanol and freon 134 a. They promote uniform distribution of the active substance and also enhance its therapeutic effect.

Instructions for use of Proposol during pregnancy

The method of use of the drug is determined by the release form. The dosage and course are determined by the doctor individually for each clinical case. When drawing up a treatment regimen, the form and course of the pathology, the nature of the symptoms, and the physiological characteristics of the patient are taken as a basis.

For respiratory infections, Proposol spray is prescribed. The usage algorithm is represented by the following sequence of actions:

1. Before opening the drug, shake the bottle thoroughly to obtain a suspension of uniform consistency.
2. Remove the cap from the aerosol and attach the device for spraying the medicinal liquid.
3. Introduce the irrigator into the oral cavity and apply a gentle pressure to dispense the suspension for a couple of seconds. Pregnant women are prescribed 2 procedures per day, lasting up to 7 days.
4. Remove the irrigation device and rinse thoroughly under running water. A prerequisite is to ensure that it dries completely, because... a humid environment is favorable for bacteria.
5. Place the container and sprayer in a box until next use.

Pregnant women may be offered the option of inhaling sprayed particles in the air to irrigate the mucous membranes.

For reference! “Proposol” provides for the parallel administration of drugs of identical action, provided that they do not contain beekeeping products.

In case of chronic inflammation of the lymphatic trunks, compresses from Proposol are applied to the affected area or treated with ointment.

If the integrity of the skin is damaged, the wound surface is covered with a napkin soaked in the medicine until completely dry. Manipulations should be carried out every 3-4 hours, but no more than 5 sessions per day.

Is it possible for pregnant women to use Proposol?

The drug has a local effect and does not disturb the natural microflora of the inner lining or the ratio of microorganisms in the intestine.

“Proposol” is characterized by anti-inflammatory and anesthetic properties, destroys fungal cells and mycelium, and exhibits virostatic and antibacterial activity.

A wide variety of pharmacological phenomena provides the composition of a pharmaceutical product:

• bee glue (propolis) – reduces sensitivity to pain, has an antimicrobial effect;
• flavonoids, benzoic acid, aromatic substances - are responsible for inhibiting the synthesis of pathogenic bacteria that provoke diseases of the oral cavity and the front of the neck;

For reference! Due to changes in the composition of propolis in each batch, the possibility of resistance of pathogenic strains to the main components is excluded.

• phenols – help reduce fragility and increase the elasticity of capillary walls, accelerate the process of epithelization, and relieve inflammation;
• vitamin complex of groups A, B, E – form local immunity, increase the functional activity of immunocytes, increase the body’s resistance to external and internal irritants;
• trihydric alcohol with glycerin molecules – prevents dryness and irritation of soft tissues, maintains the natural level of moisture of the mucous membrane;
• ethanol - has an antiseptic and tanning effect (increases the density of the top layer of fabric), practically without irritating the tissue structures.

When applied topically, the components do not participate in hemocirculation processes, because absorbed in minimal dosage. The drug exhibits bacteriostatic activity against all infectious agents, including microorganisms resistant to antibiotics.

Aerosols, extracts and emulsions “Proposol” are widely used in otolaryngology. Inhalations, rinsing and irrigation of the oral cavity are prescribed for acute tonsillitis, pharyngitis, inflammation of the paranasal sinuses of various etiologies,.

To restore the integrity of the hearing aid, a tincture is used; for dermatosis and infection of the wound surface, an ointment is used.

1st trimester

The presence of alcohol tinctures in the composition is not a contraindication for expectant mothers, because organic compounds are not able to overcome the placental barrier. “Proposol” during pregnancy in the 1st trimester is prescribed by a doctor in cases where the threat to the health of the life of the mother and fetus exceeds the possible risk after using the medication.

In the early stages of gestation, the formation of vital organs and systems occurs in the fetus. An unformed placenta is not able to prevent the penetration of active components of drugs, which is dangerous due to its toxic and teratogenic effect on the body of the unborn baby, and spontaneous termination of pregnancy.

Therefore, until the 13th week, it is advisable to limit the intake of medications, including Proposol.

Nuance! The drug is not recommended for use during breastfeeding, because active ingredients are strong irritants and can cause allergies in a newborn.

2nd trimester

The period from 14 to 26 weeks is characterized by a decrease in the sensitivity of the fetus to the effects of pharmaceutical products. At this stage, the risk of structural defects from using Proposol is minimal.

Children's dosage and observance of an equal interval between doses enhances the therapeutic effect of the drug and reduces the potential threat of side effects for the life of the mother and child.

Late gestation

To prevent premature birth, mental and mental retardation, and organic damage to the fetus, it is necessary to use natural-based medications with proven tolerability. "Proposol" is considered safe for the fetus and mother in a reduced dosage in the 3rd trimester.

A pregnant woman is included in the therapeutic regimen provided that the body is not sensitive to individual components. Otherwise, there is a possibility of developing an allergic reaction, a burning sensation in the mouth.

Short-term itching is considered normal, as a result of exposure to ethanol.

How does it affect the body?

With the coordinated work of the active and auxiliary ingredients, we get several actions of substances in relation to the disease at once. Propolis, glycerin and alcohol produce a bacteriostatic effect. This work is necessary to avoid the rapid proliferation of harmful bacteria. This effect is achieved by slowing down their activity. A fungicidal effect on the body develops. It is intended for fungal diseases that are located in the organs of the respiratory system and settle there, preventing it from functioning normally.

The medication destroys fungal accumulations in the lungs. Together, the components of the drug have an anti-inflammatory effect on the body. They reduce pain in the throat and prevent irritation from spreading. Bacteria cannot withstand the organic acids brought into the body by propolis. Vitamin A and pyridoxine, which are present in bee substances, have bactericidal functions.
