Among natural antimicrobial drugs, a special place should be given to chlorophyllipt oil, which doctors prescribe for the treatment of sinusitis, stomatitis, upper respiratory tract infections and some gynecological diseases. The drug has antibacterial activity, has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. The solution is based on sunflower or olive oil, and the base is eucalyptus extract. It is sold in bottles and is a clear emerald liquid.
Pharmacological properties of the drug Chlorophyllipt
Chlorophyllipt belongs to the pharmacotherapeutic group of antiseptic drugs. The drug has an antibacterial (bactericidal and bacteriostatic) and etiotropic effect against resistant and sensitive staphylococci to antibiotics. It has the ability to eliminate plasmids of resistance of various bacterial pathogens to antibiotics, increases the oxygen content in tissues, and has a pronounced detoxifying effect, therefore the drug is used in conditions of reduced natural defenses of the body, as a means of combating tissue hypoxia and to increase the effectiveness of antibacterial drugs used. An experimental study of chlorophyllipt revealed the tropism of this drug for lung tissue, and the absence of any carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic and embryotoxic effects. The bactericidal concentration of chlorophyllipt in the blood is created by the simultaneous intravenous administration of 8 ml of a 0.25% solution, the bacteriostatic concentration is created by 4 ml of a 0.25% solution. The therapeutic concentration lasts for an average of 6 hours; the optimal dose is to administer the drug 4 times a day.
Chlorophyllipt oil - instructions for use
This drug is a liquid of plant origin, made from an extract of eucalyptus leaves. It contains chlorophylls A and B. The medicine based on them is an excellent antiseptic and has high activity against antibiotic-resistant staphylococci.

In addition, an alcohol solution cannot be used internally, unlike an oil solution, but when used externally, the latter lasts longer on the affected area. In the pharmacy you can find Chlorophyllipt spray.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic studies of the drug have not been conducted. The medicine is an extract from a mixture of leaves of blue or globular eucalyptus. They have an etiotropic and antibacterial effect against staphylococci, including even antibiotic-resistant strains. Eucalyptus extract is able to increase the concentration of oxygen in tissues and has a detoxifying effect. This allows the drug to be used in cases of reduced natural immunity and hypoxia. It further increases the effectiveness of antibacterial therapy.

special instructions
Regardless of what disease needs to be treated, you should consult a doctor before starting. Then you need to conduct a sensitivity test to the drug. To do this, it is recommended to drink 25 drops of chlorophyllipt, diluted with a tablespoon of water. Then wait 6-8 hours. If signs of allergy do not appear, for example, swelling of the lips or swelling of the throat mucosa, then the medicine can be used. When treating burns and wounds, it is recommended to alternately use oil and alcohol solutions.
During pregnancy
The use of oil chlorophyllipt during pregnancy is possible only under the supervision of a doctor. The specialist evaluates how much the therapeutic effect of the drug outweighs the potential risk for the mother and child. If there are more benefits from chlorophyllipt, then the doctor may include it as an additional agent in the main therapy. In gynecology, the drug is used to treat acute inflammatory diseases not associated with childbirth or abortion.
In childhood
The instructions for use of oil chlorophyllipt do not contain clear recommendations for the use of the medicine in children. The manufacturer only reports that there is no experience in using the product in pediatrics. Taking into account the small number of contraindications and good tolerability, the oil solution is still used in the treatment of children, because the alcohol form is prohibited for them. In newborn babies, it is indicated for treating the umbilical wound as an alternative to brilliant green.
Pediatricians recommend this natural remedy when a pustular rash occurs in infants and to prevent inflammatory reactions as a result of pathogenic bacteria entering the bloodstream. For older children and adolescents, chlorophyllipt is used to treat wounds and abrasions, and to treat a runny nose. Other indications for use:
- lubricating the throat when treating a sore throat or cold;
- the need for treatment with antibacterial drugs as an alternative;
- resistance to antibiotics with reduced immunity.
Drug interactions
The active components of chlorophyllipt, when taken with other antiseptics, enhance the effect of the latter. For this reason, the medicine is more often prescribed in complex therapy. Chlorophyllipt does not affect the use of other medications. It is not recommended to drink alcohol during treatment. Judging by the reviews, this leads to a significant decrease in the effectiveness of the use of chlorophyllipt.

- swelling of the mucous membranes;
