Pharmacological properties

Pharysil is a combined antiseptic preparation for topical use for infectious and inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity and throat. the effect of the preparation is provided by the action of the components that make up its composition.

Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic agent, the action of which is due to surface cationic properties, which leads to a violation of the integrity of the membranes of microorganisms. The preparation is active against most bacteria, fungi and viruses, has a microbicidal effect.

Benzocaine, which is part of the preparation, has a local anesthetic (analgesic) effect. Reduces sore throat, perspiration, pain when swallowing.

About 30% of chlorhexidine is absorbed in the oral cavity, excreted with saliva during the day, which significantly prolongs its effect. Benzocaine is almost not absorbed in the oral cavity.
