Pharmacodynamics.
As a bactericidal and fungistatic agent, dequalinium chloride acts on microorganisms that cause mixed infections of the oral cavity and throat.

The accumulation of dibucaine hydrochloride in the body relieves the pain symptom that accompanies infections of the oral cavity and throat.
Microorganisms resistant to dequalinium chloride are unknown.
Does not cause caries.
Pharmacokinetics.
The main active ingredient is absorbed in very small amounts.
