Cameton

INSTRUCTION FOR MEDICAL USE OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT KAMETON

Composition:

Active substances: 1 can contains chlorobutanol hemihydrate 0.1 g; racemic camphor 0.1 g; levomenthol 0.1 g; eucalyptus oil 0.1 g;

Excipients: isopropyl myristate, propellant 134a.

Pharmaceutical form. Aerosol.

Main physico-chemical properties: clear, colorless or slightly yellowish liquid with a specific odor.

Pharmacotherapeutic group.
Agents acting on the respiratory system. Antiseptics. ATC code R02A A20.

Pharmacological properties.

Pharmacodynamics.

Cameton exerts anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and mild local anesthetic effects. Its mechanism of action involves a reflex response (stimulation of sensitive nerve endings) and stimulation of the production and release of endorphins and other biologically active endogenous substances that regulate pain sensations and vascular permeability. The combined action of chlorobutanol hydrate, camphor, and eucalyptus oil provides anti-inflammatory and disinfectant effects, facilitating the removal of viscous secretions accumulated in the upper respiratory tract. Levomenthol acts as a mild local anesthetic agent and has a deodorizing effect.

Pharmacokinetics.

Not studied.

Clinical characteristics.

Indications.

Local treatment of acute and chronic (mainly in the stage of exacerbation) infectious and inflammatory diseases of the throat and nose: tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, rhinitis.

Contraindications.

Hypersensitivity to any component of the drug.

Interaction with other medicinal products and other types of interactions.

Unknown. If simultaneous use of any medicinal products is necessary, consult a physician.

Special precautions.

Do not spray near fire. The drug should be used with caution in children, as bronchospasm may develop. Treatment of children should be carried out under medical supervision.

Before using Kameton, rinse the oral cavity with warm boiled water. Before administering the drug into the nasal cavity, clear the nose of mucus. When treating the mucous membranes of the throat, the drug should be applied after eating. Do not disassemble the canister and do not give it to children; protect from impacts. After using the drug, place the protective cap on the spray nozzle to prevent contamination. When spraying into the nose, do not tilt the head back or invert the canister. It is not recommended to use the same canister for multiple individuals to avoid spreading infection. During spraying, avoid contact with the eyes. Individuals prone to allergies should consult a physician before using the drug.

In burns, remove the necrotic coating from affected areas with a sterile swab.
