Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

TheraFlu LAR is a therapeutic agent from the group of antiseptics, which also have local anesthetic activity, which are intended for use in ENT practice.
The quaternary ammonium salt - benzoxonium chloride, due to the cationic structure contained in it, is characterized by membrane -otropic efficacy and exhibits pronounced antibacterial (antimicrobial) activity in relation to Gram-positive microorganisms (to a lesser extent affects gram-negative strains of bacteria). Also, benzoxonium has antifungal and antiviral effects aimed at suppressing membrane viruses (including herpes, influenza and parainfluenza viruses).
Anesthetic lidocaine, when used locally for the treatment of ENT organs, reduces or completely eliminates the pain in the throat that is noted during swallowing.
Absorption of benzoxonium is practically zero. In human plasma this preparation is not found, its accumulation in tissues does not occur. Approximately 1% of the dose of benzoxonium taken is determined in urine.
Absorption of lidocaine by oral intake occurs in the oral cavity through its mucous membrane. Metabolic transformations are carried out in the liver during the "first passage". The bioavailability of lidocaine with this method of application is approximately 35%. The products of its metabolism are excreted in the urine, in an unchanged form, less than 10% of the drug is excreted.
