General information
Among antibacterial and antiseptic drugs Lizobact is one of the most popular. Natural substances pyridoxine and lysozyme , which are part of the drug, are also present in our body. It is they that determine the innate immunity to some infectious diseases. Deficiency of any of these substances in the body leads to the fact that the immune system ceases to effectively resist diseases.The most common diseases of the upper respiratory tract are colds, laryngitis, gingivitis, stomatitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis... In order to cure them, therapists have to prescribe complex courses of treatment, because there is not a single broad-spectrum drug that would cure the upper respiratory tract from infection without prescribing additional drugs. That is why doctors always carefully study new promising drugs that have appeared on the pharmaceutical market.
One of the best drugs to reduce the bacterial load on the body is Lizobact. This topical drug is available over the counter without a prescription and can be prescribed to anyone of any age group. Doctors call Lizobact a first aid drug; it can be used at the first manifestations of any disease of the oral cavity and oropharynx. For pregnant women who find it very difficult to find a gentle and at the same time effective treatment, Lizobact is the drug of choice.
Advantages
There are many antibacterial agents on the drug market. But Lizobakt has some advantages among them.- The drug enhances nonspecific immunity and maintains the normal balance of microflora in the oral cavity.
- Lysozyme, which is part of the drug, destroys the cell walls of bacteria.
- During the process of destruction of cell walls, a release occurs muramyldipeptide- a natural stimulant of the immune system. Muramyldipeptide helps to absorb and digest foreign microorganisms, is cytotoxic to infected cells.
- Pyridoxine, which is part of Lizobact ( vitamin B6 ) participates in amino acid metabolism and affects the strengthening of antioxidant protection. Antioxidant substances support the functional properties of cells and regulate cell synthesis, suppress inflammatory processes in bacterial and viral infections.
- Vitamin B6 promotes rapid regeneration of damaged cells in the body, due to its antioxidant properties, reduces the effects of stress on the body. The stress is the disease itself.
That is, the drug not only kills bacteria, but also stimulates the immune system in parallel.
Compound
Basic substances:1. Pyridoxine hydrochloride ( pyridoxine) - 10 mg in 1 tablet.
2. Lysozyme hydrochloride ( lysozyme) - 20 mg in 1 tablet.
Excipients: sodium saccharin, tragacanth, magnesium stearate, lactose monohydrate, vanillin.
Pharmacological group
Antiseptic agent for local application in the oral cavity. Used in otolaryngology and dentistry.Release form
Lozenges.pharmachologic effect
Lysozyme has antiseptic and antiviral effects. Pyridoxine accelerates the regeneration of the mucous membrane.Lysozyme is an enzyme found in saliva, lacrimal fluid, breast milk, and nasopharyngeal mucous secretions. Is a component of nonspecific ( that is, congenital) immunity. Lysozyme has antibacterial properties, it destroys the cell membranes of bacteria, thereby protecting the body from infection.
The effect of lysozyme on pathogens was discovered at the beginning of the 20th century, when a bacteriologist Alexander Fleming, having a cold, sneezed on a Petri dish, in which there was a colony of bacteria. Subsequently Fleming noted that it was in this Petri dish, where the particles of his saliva got, that the growth of bacteria slowed down.
Lysozyme it is intensively produced by the body as a response to the effects of bacterial factors. When an inflammatory reaction occurs, mucous epithelial cells begin to produce a protective antibacterial secret. The protective resource is mobilized and rebuffs pathogens. But such mobilization subsequently turns into a strong decline in immunity. And after that, the disease can still develop.
Indeed, in fact, contact with bacteria occurs every hour, just a strong immune system does not allow disease to develop. When there was a weakening of internal resources, the bacterial attack leads to a complicated course of the disease.
Pyridoxine is one of the variations of the vitamin B6 ... It is an excellent metabolic stimulant. Participates in the synthesis of hemoglobin, supplies the cells with the glucose they need, regulates amino acid metabolism. Pyridoxine deficiency leads to apathy, depression, circulatory disorders, arthritis, muscle weakness.
Indications
The drug is used for the prevention and treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the mucous membrane of the oral cavity, gums and larynx: - Gingivitis.
- Herpetic stomatitis.
- Afty ( ulcers and erosion on the mucosal surface).
- Inflammation of the mucous surface of the upper respiratory tract ( catarrhal phenomena).
Contraindications
Individual intolerance to the components of the drug.Side effect
Very rarely, an allergic reaction occurs. In this case, the appointment of the drug is canceled.Dosage
A day is prescribed to take no more than 8 tablets ( 3-4 doses of two tablets). The course of therapy is eight days. Re-appointment is possible.The tablets are not swallowed, they are slowly absorbed, if possible, keeping the dissolved mass in the mouth longer.
Overdose
There is no data on overdose.Prescribing for pregnant women
Lizobact is allowed to be taken by pregnant women, if indicated, and as an additional drug. In some cases, it is used as a preventive measure to prevent disease from occurring.Theoretically, the drug is approved for use by both pregnant and lactating mothers.
However, do not forget that a contraindication to Lizobact is an allergy. And in a state of pregnancy, a woman's body is vulnerable, and especially susceptible to allergic reactions. Statistics show that more than 96% of pregnant women tolerate Lizobact without the slightest manifestation of allergies. But, nevertheless, do not forget about the potential danger.
Appointment to children
Children are very vulnerable to respiratory diseases. That is why it is so important to choose an effective treatment for the disease and prevent complications. The use of antibiotics for such diseases is not always justified. The pathogenic microflora can "get used" to the antibiotic and become resistant to its action. In such cases, treatment is very difficult. And we must not forget that antibiotics do not have a targeted effect, and can affect both "alien" microbes that come from outside, and "our own", which are part of the natural microflora.Lizobact is not an antibiotic. It is an antimicrobial agent that is safe for the baby.
Drug interactions
If you take Lizobact and some antibacterial drugs at the same time ( chloramphenicol, nitrofurantoin, penicillin), then the therapeutic effect of the latter will increase.Storage conditions
The required temperature for storing the drug is 10 - 30 degrees Celsius. The drug is suitable for use for five years from the date of release.Reviews
Vadim Petrovich, 46 years old.I have chronic tonsillitis, plus angina occasionally joins in. Sometimes the temperature rises to 38. Doctors have come to the conclusion that it is almost impossible to cure an infection in a chronic state. The pathogenic microflora is constantly in the throat, and together with poor immunity, it constantly gives impetus to the development of a new sore throat. He took antibacterial agents and immunomodulatory agents. Recently, Lizobact was prescribed as a complementary medicine. And now a week after the first dose, I realized that my condition had improved - my throat did not hurt, and the dark mucus stopped coming out of my nose, as it was before. Recommend! An effective drug.

During pregnancy and lactation
In accordance with the instructions, it is allowed to use Lizobact during pregnancy. This drug does not contain aggressive components, but at the same time it is quite capable of coping with the symptoms of otolaryngic or dental disorders. Active substances destroy pathogenic microflora, but at the same time they cannot penetrate the placental barrier and harm the embryo. 
Lizobact during breastfeeding is also approved for use, since it does not have the ability to penetrate into milk. When treating with this drug, there is no need to transfer the child to artificial mixtures.
Attention! Despite the fact that the drug is recognized as relatively safe, it can be used during pregnancy and lactation only with the permission of a doctor. It is possible that a specialist will develop an individual regimen for taking the drug, different from that described in the annotation to the drug.
Drug interactions
Lizobact is not used as a mono-drug, and it is prescribed as part of the complex therapy of a particular disorder. Therefore, it is permissible to take it together with other drugs, the main thing is to take into account some of the nuances.
It is recommended to observe the interval between doses of at least an hour when combining Lizobact with the following drugs:
- antibiotics;
- mucolytics;
- antiallergenic agents.
An increase in the body's need for pyridoxine is possible when Lizobact is combined with immunosuppressants and oral contraceptives, as well as preparations containing the following compounds:
- isoniazids;
- penicillamines;
- pyrazinamides;
- estrogens.
When combined with Lizobact, the effect of diuretics and antibacterial drugs of the penicillin, nitrofurantoin and chloramphenicol group is enhanced.
The activity of levodopa, on the contrary, decreases under the influence of the active substances of the drug.
Contraindications, side effects and overdose
One of the advantages of Lizobact is that it has few contraindications for use. The drug is prohibited only in the following conditions: 
- disorders of carbohydrate metabolism;
- hypersensitivity to drug components;
- allergy to lactose;
- age up to 3 years.
Side effects from the use of the drug rarely occur, and they are characterized by the following manifestations:
- hives;
- rash and itching;
- anaphylactic reactions;
- in rare cases - anaphylactic shock and angioedema.
Similar symptoms occur with an overdose of medication, and in addition, discomfort in the limbs in the form of numbness and tingling may appear. To eliminate these symptoms, it is necessary to give the patient as much drink as possible. This is necessary to increase the urge to urinate, since the bulk of the drug is excreted in this way.
Drug analogs
The pharmaceutical industry produces many medicines with a similar effect. The most popular analogues of Lizobact include the following medicines:
If Lizobakt is not suitable for the patient for one reason or another, the attending physician should be engaged in the selection of an analogue in the therapy of a particular disease. Unauthorized prescription of drugs is unacceptable.
Comparative characteristics with Laripront and Faringosept
Among the popular and effective analogues of Lizobact in terms of therapeutic effects, such drugs as Laripront and Faringosept are presented. Consider what kind of drugs they are, and which one is better.
The main active ingredient of Laripront is dequalinium chloride and lysozyme, which is also present in Lizobact. This enzyme is required by the cells of the immune system for its normal functioning. Thus, in addition to the therapeutic effect, both drugs can eliminate the deficiency of this trace element and strengthen the body's defenses.
In addition, both drugs are approved for use during pregnancy and lactation. Their components do not have a harmful effect on the body of the mother or fetus, and are also not able to penetrate into breast milk.
Given the similar composition and degree of safety of these two drugs, it is not easy to decide which is better than Laripront or Lizobact. They have a similar effect and rarely cause side effects. But, if we talk about the advantages of the latter, they can include the fact that Lizobact is enriched with vitamin B6, while this element is absent in Laripront.
As for the composition of Faringosept, it was created on the basis of an ambazon. It is a component that fights against staphylococci, pneumococci and other microorganisms of this group. Thus, the medicinal composition is capable of destroying pathogenic microflora, but at the same time it practically does not have a supporting effect on the immune system, unlike Lizobact.
In addition, this drug is prohibited from using during pregnancy, and it also has more contraindications and more often causes side symptoms than Lizobact. The only advantage over analogues is the low cost of the drug.
The final decision on what is best to prescribe to the patient, Laripront, Lizobakt or Faringosept, must be made by the doctor. It depends on the nature of the disease and the individual characteristics of the patient.
