Chlorophyllipt is a drug of natural origin that has a local antibacterial and antifungal effect. A composition is prepared based on eucalyptus - one of the most popular medicinal plants, which is a powerful natural anti-inflammatory agent with a wide spectrum of action. This medicine is indicated for use in diseases caused by staphylococcus and affecting the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and genitourinary system. In addition, when treating purulent wounds on the skin, chlorophyllipt can also be used to stop suppuration. The drug is available in different forms. For rinsing, an alcohol composition is usually used.
When are rinses using chlorophyllipt indicated?
The main indications for the use of chlorophyllipt in the form of gargles are the following lesions of the throat and conditions of the oral cavity:
- sore throat (all types);
- chronic tonsillitis;
- laryngitis;
- pharyngitis;
- sore throat caused by acute respiratory infections;
- inflammation of the throat caused by ARVI;
- sore throat caused by influenza;
- inflammation of the gums;
- flux;
- hole after tooth extraction.
When treated with chlorophyllipt, the causative agent of the disease is eliminated and the regeneration of damaged mucous membranes of the throat is accelerated. It was noted that the pain syndrome significantly weakened after two rinses. When using this drug, the patient's recovery is noticeably accelerated.
Features of use for children
If a child has stomatitis, then chlorophyllipt can be used in several ways, including in the form of a rinse solution.
It is important to know how to dilute: take twenty drops of an alcohol solution per glass of warm water. Care must be taken to ensure that the child does not swallow or choke on the drug. The procedure can be done several times a day after meals, but no more than four.
Chlorophyllipt for mouth rinsing for stomatitis in children is ideally used after a doctor’s prescription. If the child does not have a negative reaction to the drug, it is permissible to combine the use of the drug in different forms. The best option, many doctors consider, is to rinse your mouth after eating and then take pills.
Allergy test before using chlorophyllipt
Since chlorophyllipt is a herbal product, an allergy test should be performed before using it for the first time. In some people, the drug causes severe allergies, which after rinsing can cause swelling of the larynx with serious difficulty breathing. In order to carry out the test, you need to add 5 drops of the drug to 1 tablespoon of boiled water and rinse your mouth with the resulting solution. Next, after spitting out the composition, refrain from drinking and eating for 30 minutes. The presence of an allergic reaction will be indicated by the following signs occurring during this period of time:
- redness of the mucous membrane;
- itching;
- burning;
- rashes on the mucous membrane;
- swelling of the mucous membrane;
- swelling of the face.
Is it possible to cure a sore throat with rinses only?
Rinsing is still not a magical panacea for sore throat. If in the first stages of the disease they are effective, then in severe cases they are quite useless. When treating acute tonsillitis, you cannot do without antibiotics. Rinsing is an additional measure to combat pathogenic bacteria and viruses, but not the main one.

How to dilute a medicine
The medicine for gargling and mouthwash should be diluted differently. This is due to the fact that the mucous membranes of these areas are not the same and different concentrations of the drug are required to provide a therapeutic effect.
If it is necessary to rinse the mouth , add 1 tablespoon of chlorophyllipt to 1 glass of warm boiled water. It is impossible to prepare the product as a reserve, since when stored in a diluted form, the composition loses its medicinal properties.
The concentration of the solution for gargling a sore throat is lower than for disinfecting the mouth, so less medicine is added to a glass of water. For mild sore throat, as well as laryngitis, tracheitis and inflammation accompanying viral infections, only 1 teaspoon of chlorophyllipt is poured into a glass of warm water. If there is a severe sore throat with an active purulent process, then dilute 1 dessert spoon of the medicine in a glass of water. Just as in the case of mouth rinse, you should not prepare it in reserve.
Chlorophyllipt for children
Chlorophyllipt for children's throats
Unfortunately, children get sick more often than adults. Parents try to treat their baby with natural medicines. Chlorophyllipt is perfect for such purposes.
It is important to consult your pediatrician before use.

While gargling, parents must be near the child to monitor the correctness of the procedure.
How to rinse with chlorophyllipt for children
Children can also use chlorophyllipt for rinsing. However, it is very important that the baby knows how to gargle correctly and does not swallow the medicine. A child can be taught this by using regular boiled water.
It is not necessary to reduce the concentration of the drug for small patients, as this will lead to a decrease in the result of the therapeutic effect. Children under the age of 10 should gargle only in the presence of an adult who will supervise the process. During the day, when rinsing the mouth, the procedure is repeated 3-4 times. If it is necessary to treat the throat, then rinsing is done once every 3 hours with a break at night. For one procedure, use 100 ml of chlorophyllipt solution. The duration of treatment has no limitation; it is carried out until complete recovery. It is very important that after rinsing the child does not eat food for 30 minutes.

It can be applied to burns and purulent wounds; the product perfectly heals such skin damage. It is produced in small glass bottles of 20 ml or 25 ml;
- Chlorophyllipt alcohol solution (1%) is used for both internal and external use. Great for helping with sore throat and acute respiratory infections. The drug must be diluted in water and gargled with the resulting solution.

With regular use, the patient's general condition noticeably improves.
Rinses for adults
For adults, rinsing is carried out with a solution taken in a larger volume than for children (at the same concentration) - the amount of composition for one rinse increases to 250 ml. Rinse should be done no earlier than 30 minutes after eating. The procedure lasts for 10–15 minutes. Ingestion of the drug is not allowed. After rinsing, avoid eating for 60 minutes.
When treating throat diseases, the procedure is carried out at least 7 times a day.
If you need to treat the oral cavity due to inflammation of the gums or after tooth extraction, then rinsing 4 times a day is enough.
Treatment can last up to 2 weeks. After tooth extraction, rinsing is carried out until the hole is completely healed, which can extend the course of treatment by another 10 days.
Useful properties of rinses
Gargles have two functions:
- antibacterial effects of drugs;
- mechanical cleansing of the throat from grayish-yellow ulcers.
Rinsing will be much more effective if you follow the following algorithm:
- When performing the procedure, throw your head back.
- Stick out your tongue as much as possible so that the useful medicine penetrates as deeply as possible into the throat.
- Use a warm solution for rinsing, not hot, which can irritate the inflamed mucous membrane, and not cold, which will aggravate the disease.
- Rinse with liquid for at least half a minute.
- In acute forms of the disease, rinsing should be done hourly.
How to use oil Chlorophyllipt?
Chlorophyllipt oil can be used for the throat from childhood. As with alcohol, an allergy test is carried out in advance. Doctors recommend testing children twice before starting full treatment. Allergies can begin later and act as a cumulative effect.
Alcohol tincture acts as an aggressive irritant, oil acts more gently. After passing a test for sensitivity to the components of the drug, it is used not for rinsing, but for lubricating inflamed tonsils. Apply the substance to a tampon and apply it to the affected, inflamed parts. It is better to use disposable large cotton swabs.
Often, when the disease is complicated, rinsing with an alcohol solution and lubricating with oil are prescribed. Combine with a spray based on eucalyptus extract. The course of use of the oil preparation varies from ten days to two weeks, both combined use and alternation are possible.
Contraindications to the use of the drug
The herbal product includes an extract from eucalyptus leaves, essential oils, and tannins. Combines anti-inflammatory, fungicidal, antiprotozoal effects. When inhaled, it has an expectorant, mucolytic, and bronchodilator effect. It is characterized by high efficiency, reasonable cost, and minimal frequency of negative reactions. But despite the natural origin of the components, there are the following contraindications:
- individual intolerance;
- high sensitivity to the components of the drug;
- atrophy of the mucous membranes;
- the presence of open wounds in the oral cavity caused by viral diseases.
Sprays and lozenges have the same contraindications as oil and alcohol solutions. Allowed during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There are also no strict age restrictions. Only the concentration of the substance varies upon dilution.
Use with caution in patients with increased secretion of the digestive glands. You should carefully open, pour, dilute the substance, and avoid getting the product into your eyes.
How to gargle with Chlorophyllipt solution
The instructions for rinsing with Chlorophyllipt do not differ in any way from the standard procedure using other medications.
An important rule: rinsing should always be done with fresh solution.
- Take a small amount of the solution into your mouth: about half the size of a regular sip of water.
- Tilt your head back slightly so that your gaze is directed towards the ceiling.
- Inhale deeply through your nose.
- Open your mouth slightly.
- Make a continuous vowel sound (“i”/”ы”/”a”) for 5-7 seconds.

Composition, release form, price
The alcohol solution of rotokan contains three main extracts: chamomile (2 parts), calendula (1 part) and yarrow (1 part). This mixture of medicinal extracts has a brown tint and a specific aroma.
Thanks to the successful combination of medicinal herbs, we have a regenerating, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and hemostatic effect.
Rotokan is produced in bottles of 25, 50 and 100 ml, the price of which is 20, 30 and 70 rubles, respectively.
Chlorophyllipt or Rotocan - which is better?
Both drugs have a plant base, only chlorophyllipt contains one substance - extract of eucalyptus ball leaves.
Unlike rotokan, it is credited with an antimicrobial effect with a high degree of suppression of staphylococcal infections. Also, chlorophyllipt has different dosage forms, which is convenient for patients. It is produced in tablets, as well as alcohol and oil solutions. All these forms are widely used to treat the throat.
Despite the herbal composition of chlorophyllipt, it has been proven that it is stronger than many herbal preparations for the treatment of nasopharynx.
Like rotokan, chlorophyllipt can cause minor allergic reactions.
You can find chlorophyllipt from a Russian or Ukrainian manufacturer on sale, although the supply of the latter should currently be clarified.
The price of chlorophyllipt is much more expensive than rotokan; for a bottle of alcohol solution (100 ml) you will have to pay about 300 rubles.
