Pharmacotherapeutic group.
Agents acting on the respiratory system. Preparations used in throat disorders. Antiseptics.
ATC code R02A A20.
Pharmacological properties.
Pharmacodynamics.
The effect of the drug is due to three active components.
Antibacterial and antifungal activity.
Hexetidine exerts antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative microbial strains, as well as against aerobes and anaerobes.
Against aerobic strains, hexetidine generally produces a bacteriostatic effect, with weak bactericidal activity. Against anaerobic strains, hexetidine exhibits pronounced bactericidal activity. The mechanism of action involves competitive interaction with thiamine: the structure of hexetidine is similar to that of thiamine, which is essential for microbial growth.
Anti-inflammatory activity.
Choline salicylate has analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory effects. It can be used for the treatment of oral cavity diseases.
Analgesic activity.
Chlorobutanol has analgesic properties. It can be used, in particular, in otorhinolaryngology (nasal drops, mouthwashes) and in dental practice (applications and irrigations). It can classically be used as an anesthetic.
Pharmacokinetics.
The active substances bind to the oral mucosa, from where they are gradually released.
Clinical characteristics.
Indications.
Local treatment of oral cavity infections. Postoperative care in dentistry.
Contraindications.
- Hypersensitivity to any component of the drug;
- Atrophic pharyngitis;
- Bronchial asthma or any other respiratory tract diseases associated with airway hypersensitivity.
Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction.
Do not use together with products containing antiseptics.
Hexetidine may be inactivated by alkaline solutions.
Special precautions for use.
The preparation should not be swallowed, and contact with the eyes should be avoided, as the product contains ethanol.
The product should be used with caution in patients with epilepsy. The product may lower the epileptic threshold and may provoke seizures in children.
Use with caution in patients with a predisposition to allergic reactions, including bronchial asthma, especially in patients allergic to acetylsalicylic acid. If signs of hypersensitivity to the product occur, its use should be discontinued immediately.
Since the product contains ethanol, it should be used with caution in patients with liver disease.
Prolonged use is not recommended, as it may alter the natural microbial balance of the oral cavity and pharynx, with a risk of bacterial and fungal overgrowth.
In case of appearance of general clinical signs of bacterial infection, systemic antibacterial therapy should be initiated.
If symptoms persist for more than 5 days and/or body temperature is elevated, the treatment strategy should be re-evaluated.
If inflammation worsens, treatment with the product should be discontinued.
Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
There are no human data available on the ability of hexetidine to cross the placenta or to be excreted in breast milk; therefore, the product should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Overdose
No cases of overdose have been reported.
Alcohol intoxication due to the content of ethyl alcohol may occur if a sufficient amount of the solution is absorbed through the oral mucosa.
The concentration of hexetidine in the medicinal product is not toxic when used as directed.
Acute alcohol intoxication is unlikely. However, if a child swallows a large amount of the preparation, alcohol intoxication may occur due to its ethyl alcohol content.
No cases of excessive use of hexetidine or occurrence of hypersensitivity reactions have been reported.
Treatment of overdose is symptomatic and rarely required. In case a child swallows the contents of the bottle, seek immediate medical attention. Gastric lavage within 2 hours after ingestion should be considered, along with measures to counteract symptoms of alcohol intoxication.
