Tantum Verde: analogues and description of the drug

Sore throat, sore throat and swelling of the larynx often accompany many viral and bacterial diseases. Among other things, such symptoms may indicate the presence of a fungal infection of the oral cavity.

In order to remove this unpleasant symptom, topical medications are often prescribed, among which TantumVerde is especially popular.

It is worth noting that the drug belongs to the middle price range, therefore the price of Tantum Verde may seem unaffordable to many buyers in comparison with cheaper analogues.

Special attention is also paid to the fact that most often “Tantum Verde” and analogues of this drug are used in complex therapy, and are extremely rarely prescribed for the treatment of diseases of the oral cavity as the only main means of treatment.

The drug is available in different dosage forms, the common feature of which is the active substance - benzydamine hydrochloride. The release forms differ only in the composition of the auxiliary active ingredients, as well as in cost.

Tantum Verde release forms:

Lozenges for resorption. The best-selling form of the drug, as it implies mobility and practicality of administration. The composition, in addition to the main active ingredient, contains dyes, isomaltose, and flavoring additives. The cost of 20 tablets is about 330-350 rubles in different regions of the country.

Spray. It assumes the most effective local action, as it allows the drug to reach the site of inflammation directly. The composition contains ethyl alcohol, saccharin, preservatives and flavorings, including menthol extract. It is produced in a volume of 30 ml and sells for about 300 rubles.

Solution for gargling and mouthwash. It contains the same substances as the spray. It is highly effective if used continuously at the frequency prescribed by the attending physician. The 120 ml container comes with a measuring cup, the price is about 400 rubles.

Indications for use Tantum Verde - treatment of acute inflammatory processes of the throat and oral cavity. The most common diagnoses curable with the drug include:

Stomatitis
Tonsillitis
Farangitis
Gingivitis
Dental and oral surgery

The product has an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect, which makes it useful not only for the treatment of inflammatory processes, but also suitable for use in dental practice as a preventive measure.

Another useful feature of Tantum Verde is the possibility of use during pregnancy. However, it is worth remembering that the dosage, frequency of administration and release form can only be selected by the attending physician, and it is not safe to self-medicate during pregnancy!

For the treatment of the above diagnoses, as well as for preventive purposes, the instructions for use of Tantum Verde provide the following doses and frequency:

Tantum Verde rinse solution is used every 3-4 hours for 3 days. If pain persists after this period, you should consult your doctor, who will most likely prescribe another medication. Swallowing the solution is unacceptable, therefore it is not recommended for use by children under 7 years of age.
Tantum Verde spray is prescribed to adults up to 8 times a day, with a frequency of use no more than 1 time every 1.5 hours. The duration of the course is from 3 to 7 days, depending on the severity of the disease. For children over 6 years of age, the daily dose is no more than 3 injections.
Tantum Verde lozenges are used with a frequency of no more than 4 pieces per day. Children over 6 years old - no more than 2 per day.
All forms of release of Tantum Verde during pregnancy are prescribed exclusively by the attending physician, taking into account the complexity and severity of symptoms, the frequency and course of treatment is determined only after examination and receipt of test results.

According to reviews, Tantum Verde is highly effective, well tolerated and non-addictive. However, in some cases, most often when an allergic reaction occurs, it requires replacement with a similar drug. Another goal of searching for analogues of Tantum Verde is to save money, since the product can hardly be called cheap.

Almost all Tantum Verde analogue products offered on the domestic market contain other active ingredients and are not structural analogues.

In simple words, these medications have the same effect as Tantum Verde, are prescribed for the same diagnoses, but have a different composition, can be sold in other forms of release, and, naturally, have a different required dosage.

The average price of the most common analogues by region of Russia is:

Inhalipt - 100 rubles.
Cameton - 80 rubles.
Hexoral - 200-340 rubles, depending on the form of release.
Miramistin - 250 rubles.
Tenflex - 100-200 rubles, depending on the form of release.
Oralcept - 300 rubles.

Next, you can read a detailed description of Tantum Verde analogue drugs.

Only the attending physician can answer the question of whether to choose Ingalipt or Tantum Verde, and the main difference between these two products is the price. Inhalipt is a cheap analogue of Tantum Verde, since the cost of the product does not exceed 100 rubles.

Features of application:

It is used not only in pregnant women, but also for the treatment of children from 3 years of age.
It is highly effective in the treatment of bacterial inflammation; both gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms are sensitive to it.
a pleasant taste and aroma will be useful when treating children, since it is quite difficult to force a child to swallow or gargle efficiently with an unpleasant-tasting product.
The release form in the form of an inhaler for irrigating the throat and mouth allows the product to be used in any circumstances, the dosage for adults is up to 4 irrigations per day, for children - from 3 to 3, as recommended by the pediatrician.

A drug that is often used in complex therapy in combination with Ingalipt. The price of Kameton is about 80 rubles per bottle.

Distinctive features of the drug:

used not only for irrigation of the oral cavity, but also intranasally for the treatment of rhinitis, sinusitis and other inflammatory processes in the sinuses;
prohibited for use by pregnant women and children under 5 years of age;
In addition to antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects, it has anesthetic properties, which will help to quickly relieve pain in the area of inflammation.
The dosage of Kameton for adults is 1-2 irrigations up to 4 times a day.

Another analogue of Tantum Verde, which has the same release forms. It’s difficult to call it a cheap analogue, since only some forms of release are cheaper:

Tablets 20 pieces - price about 200 rubles.
Spray 40 ml - 340 rubles
Rinse solution 200 ml - 300 rubles.

The drug Hexoral has the following features and characteristics:

high efficiency in case of fungal or bacterial infection. The drug is highly effective, for example, in the treatment of bacterial tonsillitis, therefore, when making such a diagnosis, the choice between Tantum Verde or Hexoral should be made in favor of the latter.
It has an analgesic effect, which will help you relieve discomfort in a short time;
Prescribed for children from 3 years of age.
The usual dosage of lozenges is to dissolve 1 tablet every 2 hours, but not more than 8 per day. Children should not take more than 4 tablets per day.
You can gargle with the solution no more than 2 times a day, after diluting it with water.
Hexoral throat spray is used 2 times a day.

A universal antibacterial agent with local action. Widely used in pediatrics, surgery and gynecological practice. The price of a bottle is 50 ml, about 250 rubles.

Among the important features it is worth noting:

universal to use. With the help of Miramistin, you can not only gargle and rinse the mouth, but also use it for inhalation, wound treatment, disinfection, etc.
high efficiency in the treatment of both viral and bacterial and fungal infections;
Widely used in pediatrics, Miramistin is prescribed to children almost from the first months of life;
does not cause allergies, addiction and has virtually no side effects;
lack of taste. An excellent option for people who cannot stand the taste and aroma of menthol, which is present in Tantum Verde and its other analogues.

Miramistin is also used for inhalation during the treatment of diseases of the ENT organs.

A cheap analogue of Tantum Verde, which can be called the only structural replacement option for the described product. The price is approximately 100 rubles for a bottle of rinse solution, and 200 rubles for an aerosol.

Peculiarities:

has the same active ingredient - benzydamine hydrochloride;
identical indications for use;
not used in pediatrics for the treatment of children under 12 years of age, since relevant clinical studies have not been conducted;
prescribed during pregnancy, but requires constant medical supervision.

Strictly speaking, it is difficult to call Oralcept an analogue of Tantum Verde, since the product not only has a similar composition, principle of action and dosage. It would be more accurate to call it a copy of Tantum Verde, which, by the way, differs in price quite slightly - about 300 rubles. The drug is used in the same way as Verde.

Conclusion

As a result, it is worth noting that each of the above remedies is highly effective, but only the attending physician will help you choose the best remedy.

Particular care is required in the selection of drugs for children and pregnant women.

Self-medication is an unacceptable measure in this case, and, despite the abundance of information on the Internet, it is still worth seeking advice from a specialist.

Benzidamine belongs to the indazoles and is a non-steroidal drug with anti-inflammatory activity. The active substance is characterized by antiseptic and analgesic effects.

The antiseptic effect is manifested against most microorganisms. The main mechanism of action is aimed at inhibiting the process of prostaglandin synthesis and stabilizing cell membranes.

The antimicrobial and antibacterial effect is achieved due to the instant penetration of the active substance through microbial membranes and further damage to cell structures. Additionally, the course of most metabolic processes is disrupted and logical lysis of the microbial cell occurs.

A pronounced antifungicidal effect is observed against Candida Albicans. The active substance damages the metabolic chains of mycetes, changes the modification of the fungal cell wall, which prevents further reproduction. This effect allows the use of Benzydamine for inflammatory diseases of the mouth of infectious origin.

No significant interactions have been reported.
