The active component of Tantum Verde is benzidamine. In addition, the composition of the drug includes auxiliary components, the most notable of which is the mint flavor, which gives all forms of the drug a distinctive taste.

Benzydamine inhibits the formation of prostaglandins involved in inflammation and stabilizes cell membranes. Thus, under the action of the drug, inflammation decreases, pain sensitivity decreases, and damaged structures are restored.

Reviews

We offer you to read reviews of people who used the drug Tantum Verde:

Tamara. This is a good cure for throat pain - it helps quickly. In addition, I buy a spray for my two children - sisha and daughters. As the throat is sick a little, and it's at them at the same time, so they immediately open their mouths)) It's tasty, in what its a big plus, and then we in our childhood can not force in the mouth something to sprinkle, because everything is bitter It was.
Alexandra. I really like tantum verde. He generally is very different from the usual sprays for the throat. They usually have a minty taste, but it's so sweet, a bit unusual, but pleasant. Very gently affects the throat. At me all colds begin with a throat, therefore I have found to myself a good preparation and now I use, that the inflammation has not passed on ears or in a nose. It is certainly more expensive than anything else that I used to buy, but it's nice to splash their throats efficiently. Children also like it, they just hated all sorts of mint sprays.
Oksana. At the son from 10 years there was a subfebrile temperature. My husband and I traveled to all the clinics, and one of them advised us to remove the tonsils, since they no longer performed their function and could be the cause of the temperature. After the operation, the child could neither eat nor drink because of severe pain in the throat. The doctor advised to buy "Tantum Verde" in the spray, and in the future - in the form of tablets for resorption. Although the price was even 2-3 times higher than for similar means, they decided to buy. After the first application the son began to eat. After a couple of days of applying the spray, they switched to tablets. The drug is very good, I recommend!
