Gargarin

Gargarin comes in the form of mouthwash or powder for preparing a throat rinse solution, packaged in sachets or bottles.

Each box contains 6, 16 or 32 sachets, and the product is available in pharmacies without a prescription. The sachets are easy to use, convenient for preparing the solution, ensuring simple and effective administration of the medicine.

Gargarin is used as an adjunct in the treatment of inflammation of the throat and oral cavity. It is effective in cases of pharyngitis, stomatitis and other inflammatory conditions of the oral cavity and upper respiratory tract.

Thanks to its antiseptic and antifungal properties, Gargarin helps to reduce pathogenic microorganisms that can cause infections in these areas.

Its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect also helps to relieve pain and discomfort experienced by the patient during throat and mouth conditions.

The recommended dose of Gargarin depends on the type of product and the individual needs of users.

For Gargarin 5 g sachets, the recommended dose is 5 g of powder dissolved in a glass of warm water, to be used for gargling 2-3 times a day.

If symptoms persist or worsen after a few days of use, it is recommended to consult a doctor.

Gargarin should not be used in case of hypersensitivity to any of its active ingredients, such as sodium tetraborate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride, sodium benzoate or menthol.

The product is also contraindicated for use on damaged mucous membranes of the oral cavity.

In case of allergic reactions, use of the medicine should be discontinued immediately.

Important! Gargarin should only be used for topical administration as a gargle solution. It is also important not to swallow the prepared solution, as the product contains substances that could cause undesirable effects if swallowed.

Prolonged use on damaged mucous membranes may lead to the accumulation of borax in the body, which has toxic effects. Direct contact with the eyes or skin should also be avoided, as sodium benzoate may cause mild irritation in these areas.

Gargarin is usually well tolerated, but rare side effects such as irritation of the oral mucosa may occur. If these side effects persist or worsen, it is recommended to discontinue use of the medicine and consult a doctor.

In very rare cases, prolonged use may lead to symptoms of borax poisoning, including nausea, headaches and irritation of the skin and mucous membranes.

Gargarin does not have any significant interactions with other medicines or food.

However, it is important that the patient informs their doctor or pharmacist about any other medicines they are using to prevent any unwanted interactions.

In case of accidental overdose, symptoms of poisoning may occur, such as nausea, headache, skin and mucous membrane irritation, and gastrointestinal disorders.

If these symptoms occur, it is important to seek medical assistance immediately. It is recommended that the product be used as directed to avoid the risk of overdose.

Gargarin should be stored at temperatures below 25°C in a dry, cool place. The product should be kept out of the reach of children to avoid accidental ingestion.

It is also important not to exceed the expiry date indicated on the packaging. If the product is damaged or has expired, its use is contraindicated.
