What diseases does Grammidin help with?
The drug is prescribed for the treatment of bacterial diseases of the throat and oral cavity, accompanied by inflammatory processes:
- pharyngitis - damage to the mucous and lymphoid tissue of the pharynx;
- tonsillitis - infection of the mucous membrane, inflammation of the annular part, tonsils;
- tonsillitis - damage to the palatine tonsils;
- stomatitis – ulcerative formations in the oral cavity, damage to the mucous membrane;
- gingivitis – inflammatory processes in the gum tissue;
- periodontitis is inflammation of the bone and soft tissues of the tooth.
The medicinal effect is based on the destruction of bacteria that cause diseases. This leads to inhibition of inflammatory processes and a decrease in pain symptoms in the throat, which makes swallowing easier.

Pharmacodynamics
Combined drug for the treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the pharynx and oral cavity. The drug contains the antimicrobial agent gramicidin C, the local anesthetic agent oxybuprocaine and the antiseptic agent cetylpyridinium chloride.
The mechanism of action of gramicidin C is associated with an increase in the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane of the microbial cell, which disrupts its stability and causes cell death.
Gramicidin C has a pronounced antimicrobial effect against pathogens of infectious diseases of the oral cavity and pharynx.
The anesthetic oxybuprocaine has a local anesthetic effect on the mucous membrane of the oral cavity and pharynx. Causes a reversible blockade of the propagation and conduction of nerve impulses through the axons of nerve cells.
Cetylpyridinium chloride is an antiseptic. Suppresses the growth and reproduction of pathogens of infectious diseases of the oral cavity.
The drug has an analgesic effect, reduces inflammation, has an antimicrobial effect, softens discomfort in the throat, facilitates swallowing, and when absorbed causes hypersalivation, which contributes to the mechanical cleansing of the oral cavity and pharynx from microorganisms.
Side effects
In some cases: allergic reactions, temporary loss of sensitivity of the tongue.
Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding

The drug contains the antibiotic gramicidin C, the local anesthetic oxybuprocaine and the antiseptic cetylpyridinium chloride. The drug has a pronounced antibacterial effect against pathogens of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the pharynx and oral cavity. Increases the permeability of the microbial cell membrane, which disrupts its barrier functions and leads to its death. The anesthetic oxybuprocaine, causing a reversible block of axonal conduction of nerve impulses, has an analgesic effect on the mucous membrane of the oral cavity and pharynx. Cetylpyridinium chloride, being an antiseptic, inhibits the growth and reproduction of pathogens of infectious diseases of the oral cavity. The drug has antimicrobial, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, reduces discomfort in the oral cavity and pharynx, and facilitates the swallowing process. When absorbed, the drug stimulates hypersalivation, which promotes mechanical cleansing of the oral cavity and pharynx from microorganisms. The drug has a local effect.

How does Grammidin work?
The active substance of the drug violates the integrity of the membranes of bacterial cells, provoking their destruction. Grammidin has a local antiseptic effect in the oral cavity, slows down the proliferation of pathogens and stimulates the secretion of saliva, which softens inflamed mucous membranes. As a result of several applications, pain and swelling are reduced, swallowing becomes easier, and normal health is restored. The effectiveness of the drug is higher with initial signs of infection.
Grammidin with an anesthetic has an additional analgesic effect, smoothing out acute symptoms of inflammation. Gramicidin is not absorbed into the general bloodstream, so one should not expect a systemic effect from the drug.
Is Grammidin safe for pregnant women and breastfeeding?
Grammidin cannot be used in the first trimester, as its components may be toxic to the tissues of the embryo. In exceptional cases, with severe inflammation of the gums or throat, you can use children's tablets or spray. But only with the prior permission of the doctor.
In the second and third trimester, pregnancy is not a contraindication for Grammidin. But self-medication should not be allowed.
Breastfeeding women are not recommended to use the drug, as the risk of it passing into breast milk cannot be completely ruled out. If treatment is necessary, children should be transferred to mixed or artificial nutrition.

- patients with phenylketonuria;
- those suffering from individual hypersensitivity to any component;
