Reviews
We picked up some reviews of people taking the drug Lizobakt:
- Dmitriy. A good antiseptic drug, and the taste is not nasty. But it still bothers to keep these toregessable tablets in your mouth for more than two hours. I understand that it is so necessary, the active substance lasts longer. But my patience is much less than necessary.
- Alexey. Lizobakt tried to treat the throat after hypothermia 4 years ago and now these pills are in the home medicine cabinet always. Lizobakt is universal - it is suitable for treating the whole family's throat, and normal taste qualities do not cause antipathy in the child. They quickly, literally in 20-30 seconds, dissolve in the mouth and after their intake there is no foreign smell from the mouth. I buy immediately for 3 packs, it is a pity that there is no 100 tablets at once. And the price is normal, and it helps. Although it is strange that doctors usually write out different things every time, sometimes even less effective.
- Marina. I have a very sore throat. I searched for a suitable medicine for a long time, tried many things, but nothing helped. It was quite by accident in my medicine cabinet that I discovered this miracle remedy. I can not say that it acts instantly and as a click relieves pain, but the result is unequivocally. From my experience, I can say that there is practically no result from one application of Lizobakt. It must be taken regularly and by the course. I have 2-3 tablets a day, about a week. Already on day 2 the pain decreases, and by 3 - almost disappears. The taste of the tablets is not very pleasant, the first time seemed even nasty, but after a couple of days I got used to it and stopped noticing. As for the price, it is not too high, but there are medicines and cheaper. But as far as I know, Lizobakt is made from natural ingredients, and for this, in combination with high efficiency, it is possible to pay in addition.
Analogues
Search for a pharmacy analog Lizobakta by its composition - an occupation that has no prospects. The drug does not have absolute analogues among immunomodulators of other manufacturers.
However, to analogues of Lizobakt in its effect on the pathogenic flora in the mouth, it is quite possible to include the same Imudon, an antibiotic in tablets for resorption Grammidine or antiseptic Faringosept. But the principle of work, effectiveness, adverse reactions, indications and contraindications for these drugs are different.
In addition to the resorption tablets, substitutes for such analogues in the field of application, such as Cameton or Ingalipt. Use these aerosols should be cautious: unlike the harmless Lizobakt they are capable of causing quite serious side effects.
Before using analogues, consult your doctor.
