Pharmacological properties.

Pharmacodynamics. A combination drug whose action is determined by the components contained in its formulation. Chlorobutanol hemihydrate and eucalyptus oil provide antimicrobial activity; chlorobutanol hemihydrate and camphor provide mild local anesthetic effect. Menthol constricts blood vessels and induces a local sensation of cold, which also contributes to the local anesthetic effect and reduction of hyperemia and swelling in the affected area. When applied topically, the drug exhibits antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and mild local anesthetic actions, promotes normalization of respiration, and also provides a deodorizing effect. The drug base exerts a moisturizing effect on the mucous membrane due to the occlusive effect associated with the presence of the hydrophobic solvent isopropyl myristate. The combination of these pharmacological properties provides comprehensive pathogenetic therapy for inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract.
