Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
Grammidin for children is a combination drug that is used for the symptomatic treatment of various infectious and inflammatory diseases of the oropharynx, includes an antimicrobial component - gramicidin C and an antiseptic - cetylpyridinium chloride .
gramicidin C based on the ability to increase the permeability of the cytoplasmic membranes of microbial cells (most Gram+ and Gram-), as a result, stability is disrupted and the death of microorganisms occurs.
It is known that cetylpyridinium chloride as an antiseptic suppresses the growth and reproduction of pathogens of various infectious diseases in the mouth and throat.
In addition to the antimicrobial effect, inflammation is reduced, discomfort when swallowing is eliminated, salivation increases ( hypersalivation ), which promotes natural cleansing of the mouth and throat.

A combined drug for the symptomatic treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the throat and oral cavity. The drug contains the antimicrobial agent gramicidin C and the antiseptic agent cetylpyridinium chloride.

Cetylpyridinium chloride is an antiseptic that inhibits the growth and reproduction of pathogens that cause infectious diseases in the oral cavity. The drug has an antimicrobial effect, reduces inflammation, 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.

Grammidin is a combination drug that has antimicrobial and antiseptic effects. Therefore, the drug is used in the treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases localized in the nasal cavity or throat.
The mechanism of the therapeutic effect of the main substance is based on increasing the permeability of the membrane of microorganism cells. In this regard, vital processes in them are disrupted, and microbes die.
Grammidin helps reduce or completely remove the inflammatory process, get rid of discomfort in the throat and make swallowing easier. Resorption of the drug tablets leads to increased secretion of saliva, due to which the oral cavity is cleansed of pathogenic microbes and inflammatory exudate also mechanically.
