Lyzobact is a drug with the active ingredients lysozyme and pyridoxine hydrochloride.
Lysozyme is a natural enzyme found in human saliva. It fights pathogenic microorganisms that cause pain and inflammation, destroys viruses, bacteria and fungi, thus providing protection against inflammation and strengthening the immune system. Against the background of hypothermia and stress, the enzyme becomes insufficient to contain pathogens. Then the body needs additional help.

The active substances of lysobact act directly in the mucous membrane and destroy pathogens, affecting the membrane of bacteria and viruses and destroying it.

The topical drug is available in tablet form. Lysobact also contains lactose monohydrate and vanillin to improve taste.

Composition and release form

The medicine is available in the form of tablets in cardboard packages.

The active substances are: pyridoxine hydrochloride and lysozyme hydrochloride.

Lysozyme is naturally produced in every human body. The substance is present in saliva and repels harmful microorganisms. When a person's immunity weakens or when pathogenic bacteria are actively repelled, lysozyme may not be enough. Lizobakt helps to compensate for its deficiency.

Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) performs a restorative and protective function in relation to the oral cavity, accelerates the healing process, and reduces the negative effects of antibiotics (if such are taken).

The composition contains additional components: vanillin, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharinate.

Lizobakt during pregnancy

The use of the medicine is permitted throughout the entire period of pregnancy: from the first trimester until childbirth. It is especially important for pregnant women to know which drug can safely protect against the spread of infection in case of upper respiratory tract disease. Your own saliva, which contains lysozyme, may be produced in insufficient quantities, because many expectant mothers are prohibited from drinking a lot of liquid due to edema.

In addition, altered hormonal levels during pregnancy can have an inhibitory effect on the functioning of the salivary glands. Lyzobact will easily compensate for the lack of natural lysozyme, which effectively copes with its antiseptic properties without harming the unborn child.

Pharmacology and pharmacodinamine

The medicine is a local antiseptic. Actively used in dental and ENT practice. It has an antiseptic effect, which is achieved thanks to its constituent components. Lysozyme has an antiseptic effect and supports local immunity.

The drug is quickly eliminated from the stomach. The active components are deposited in muscle tissue, liver and central nervous system. Pyridoxine can pass into breast milk. It decomposes in the liver and is excreted in the urine.

Lizobakt and Laripront: is there a difference?

Laripront, like Lyzobact, contains lysozyme, a natural component that is safe for pregnant women and children. However, Laripront contains another active component - Dequalinium chloride, which is a synthetic antiseptic, active against a large number of pathogenic bacteria, as well as fungi.

The direction of action of both drugs is identical - they are intended for resorption in the oral cavity, disinfecting the mucous membranes of the pharynx. However, the patient may have pronounced allergic reactions to Laripront, which is less common in patients taking Lysobact.

Adverse reactions and overdose

The following adverse reactions may occur:

  • anaphylactic reactions and shock;
  • skin problems manifested in the form of itching, rashes and hives;
  • allergies (in rare cases).

There are practically no cases of overdose. If you constantly exceed the recommended dose, you may experience numbness in the limbs and tingling.

To get rid of such phenomena, you need to drink as much fluid as possible.

Therapeutic properties of lysobact

Lysobact is used to treat inflammation and infections affecting the mucous membranes of the mouth, larynx, and gums. The antiseptic effect is ensured by the content of the following components:

  1. Lysozyme. An enzyme responsible for regulating local immunity. It tends to accumulate in the body in summer, a decrease is observed in autumn, and the content is lowest in spring. Affects pathogens, provides an antiseptic effect and immunomodulatory effect. Under the influence of lysozyme, the cell walls of microorganisms dissolve, in addition, it provides a secondary immunomodulatory effect. Due to the above properties, lysozyme is used to treat various infections, including SARS-CoV-2.
  2. Pyridoxine. Protects the oral mucosa without interfering with the activity of lysozyme. The inflammatory process is accompanied by the destruction of mucosal cells. A component with anti-aphthous action prevents cell damage and accelerates regeneration processes. Promotes the acceleration of amino acid metabolism and the formation of antioxidant protection.

A decrease in the level of natural lysozyme is possible due to exposure to pathogens; a deficiency can also be observed in children. Lysobact is prescribed to patients of different age groups. According to research results, the combined effect of lysozyme and pyridoxine promotes an increase in IgA in saliva.

Lizobakt during pregnancy

While carrying a baby, all the body’s forces are directed towards internal processes. As a result of hormonal changes, a woman's immune system is greatly weakened.

40% of pregnant women experience stomatitis and fungal and microbial infections of the oral mucosa. Many medications are prohibited for women while pregnant.

Lizobakt is one of the few products that is allowed to be used by women during and during breastfeeding. It can be used as a stand-alone drug or in complex treatment with other approved drugs.

The medicine facilitates the progression of acute respiratory infections and acute respiratory viral infections during pregnancy.

What is the medicine Lizobact for?

Lysobact is an antiseptic whose action is due to the hydrochlorides of pyridoxine and lysozyme included in its composition. To give a pleasant, subtle taste, the manufacturer adds lactose monohydrate and vanillin to the composition of the drug.

Round, medium-sized tablets are a local antiseptic, which is why dentists, therapists and otolaryngologists love it. The active components of the drug directly affect bacteria, destroying their membrane. For diseases of the oral cavity of various etiologies, Lysobact is prescribed as a drug that combats the source of the problem.

Lizobact is not a drug for relieving the symptoms of an irritated throat. It has neither cooling, nor analgesic, nor expectorant effects. Spreading throughout the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, the drug destroys the source of infection.

For sore throat

Sore throat affects the upper respiratory tract and occurs as a result of exposure to streptococcus. Affects the upper respiratory tract.

Lizobakt has an antiseptic effect and helps fight pathogens at the local level. However, it is not the mainstay in the treatment of the disease. When a diagnosis is made, the patient is prescribed antibacterial drugs; Lysobact acts as an additional drug for healing damaged areas.

As an adjuvant, the drug is prescribed:

  • children over three years of age – one tablet at intervals of at least 4 hours;
  • over 17 years of age and adult patients - two tablets with an interval of at least 4 hours.

Types of food poisoning

  • Microbial. This type includes poisoning from spoiled or contaminated products.
  • Intoxication with chemicals. It occurs when toxins enter the gastrointestinal tract and requires urgent medical attention.
  • Poisoning with poisonous mushrooms, fish or meat, plants. An urgent visit to a doctor is recommended. Source: B.Zh. Suleizhan, W.K. Keldikulova Foodborne toxic infections // Journal of the Almaty State Institute for Advanced Training of Doctors, 2011, No. 1

Food poisoning is a complex of painful symptoms that occur when the body is affected by poisonous and low-quality products of animal or plant origin. Toxins can enter in different ways: through the intestines, absorption through the mucous membrane of the nasopharynx, or inhalation. In children under one year of age, absorption and distribution throughout the body occurs faster. Source: H.D. Abdikhakimovich Features of the course of foodborne toxic infections // Pediatrician, 2021, v. 8, special issue

Poisoning in children is more common than in adults, and its course is much more complicated. This is explained by the peculiarity of the child’s still fragile body. In the early years, the intestinal microflora is not yet formed, toxins are quickly absorbed and spread through the blood, and low acidity of gastric juice is noted.

How to take lysobact?

Lizobact is a local antiseptic drug. The tablets should be dissolved slowly in the mouth without swallowing. It is advisable to keep it in your mouth longer until completely dissolved.

The dosage of the drug depends on the age of the patients.

For children 6-7 years old it is 1 tablet three times a day, up to 12 years old - 1 tablet 4 times a day, over 12 years old and adults - two tablets 3-4 times a day. Lizobact must be taken for five days.

Important! The antiseptic effect of the drug is possible only if the rules of administration are followed. The tablet needs to be dissolved for a long time, after which you should not eat for 30-40 minutes. This is due to the fact that, together with food particles, the components will immediately penetrate into the stomach, without providing the proper effect. Such treatment will not bring results. It also makes no sense to take the tablets with water; they are intended solely for resorption.

Peculiarities of child nutrition after treatment

During recovery, the child is prescribed a diet that is similar to the diet for any intestinal infections. Children are recommended:

  • increasing the frequency of meals up to 6-8 times a day;
  • drinking liquid, crushed and pureed food in fractional portions;
  • exclusion of fried foods;
  • ad libitum feeding (give food on demand, but do not overfeed).

The main rule of nutrition is that food should contain a minimum amount of fat. You should avoid whole milk, fruits and fresh baked goods, which can cause fermentation in the intestines. You can give more boiled water, crackers, low-fat cottage cheese, baked apples, cookies, rosehip decoction.

Causes of illness in a child

One of the main causes of food poisoning is the consumption of stale food . To avoid illness, you should pay attention to the appearance and smell of food, as well as storage conditions. Often, parents buy food for their child without paying attention to the expiration date. Even if you make purchases at a trusted retail outlet with an impeccable reputation, you must always look at the packaging of the product.

In addition to low-quality products, in medical practice there are cases of chemical poisons and toxic plants entering the baby’s body along with food. Toxins may be contained in medications or household chemicals that the child used accidentally or unknowingly.
