This antiseptic is used in the treatment of all kinds of diseases, including ENT diseases. This means that it is important to know how to gargle with Miramistin.

What is special about Miramistin?

During an outbreak of respiratory diseases, this medication can be used as a protective agent. You can also treat your throat with this drug after contact with someone who is sick. This will minimize the chance of contracting the disease.

This drug works well against common symptoms of ENT ailments:

soreness; redness; painful spasms that appear when swallowing.

However, this drug should be used as an additional agent in complex therapy. Miramistin cannot replace full-fledged antibiotics.

The advantages of this medication include the following features:

practically not absorbed by the bloodstream; reduces the resistance of pathogenic microorganisms to antibiotics; stimulates the activity of the body's immune forces.

How to gargle with Miramistin?

When treating a sore throat, it is important to know how to gargle correctly with Miramistin. This procedure looks like this:

You need to tilt your head back slightly. Thanks to this, the medication, having washed the throat affected by pathogenic bacteria, will not flow into the nasal cavity. This means that the infection will not spread further. When rinsing, the patient should try to make the sound “y”. At this point in time, the tongue will lower, problem areas will open up and it will be easier to treat them. After rinsing, the liquid should be spat out. You can't swallow it! Under no circumstances should you eat or drink anything within half an hour after rinsing your throat. Otherwise, the healing film will simply be washed off and there will be no benefit from the procedure. To speed up recovery, rinsing with Miramistin should be alternated with rinsing with folk remedies. Herbal infusions, saline or soda solutions are suitable for these purposes.

How to properly dilute Miramistin for gargling?

To gargle with Miramistin, the drug must be diluted: the proportions depend on the age of the patient. When treating adolescents and adults, the optimal solution for rinsing is a solution prepared from 2-3 teaspoons of medication and a glass of boiled water cooled to room temperature. In this case, you should use a 0.01% solution of Miramistin (it is in this form that it is sold).

After the sick person begins to gargle with Miramistin solution, relief is noted already on the 2nd (at most, 3rd) day. The recommended duration of therapeutic procedures is 7 days.

As an alternative to gargling, gargling can be used. This procedure is carried out with an undiluted 0.01% solution of Miramistin. To carry it out, a special attachment is used (it can be purchased at the pharmacy along with the medicine). The number of sprays depends on the patient’s age and the degree of damage to the throat (from 1 to 4 presses). Moreover, the frequency of such procedures should not exceed 4 times a day.

Having dispelled their last doubts about whether it is possible to gargle with Miramistin, patients can safely use this medication to treat their throat. If you strictly follow the measures prescribed in the instructions, side effects will be minimized and recovery will occur faster.

Safety of use

Hypersensitivity to the drug is the only contraindication to its use. The safety of the product is determined solely by its local action and the lack of ability to penetrate the bloodstream.

Unlike most analogues, you can gargle with Miramistin during pregnancy and lactation. The drug does not irritate the mucous membrane.

It has no age restrictions, therefore it has a positive effect in pediatric therapy.

However, independent rinsing is possible no earlier than 3-4 years; irrigation is not recommended for children of a younger age group due to the possibility of developing a reflex spasm of the larynx. A child’s throat can be treated with a swab moistened with Miramistin.

The procedure should be carried out under the supervision of a specialist in order to prevent inaccurate actions and the spread of infection to neighboring organs.

A 0.01% solution is available in plastic bottles without a nozzle, with a urological applicator or a spray nozzle.
