Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
As a bactericidal and fungistatic agent, dequalinium chloride acts on microorganisms that cause mixed infections of the oral cavity and throat. The spectrum of action of this local chemotherapeutic agent is broad and includes most gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as fungi, spirochetes and pathogenic 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.
Indication
Local treatment of acute inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity and throat: gingivitis, ulcerative and aphthous stomatitis, tonsillitis, laryngitis and pharyngitis. Decvadol is also recommended for use in the presence of unpleasant odor from the mouth.
Decvadol can be used in cases of mixed infection of the oral cavity and throat (on the recommendation of a doctor); as an auxiliary drug in the treatment of catarrhal angina, lacunar angina and Plaut-Vincent angina; in case of candidiasis of the oral cavity and pharynx.
