Use of Cholisal for children under one year of age: reviews

Cholisal-gel for infants has earned a positive opinion from parents; the following reviews confirm the effectiveness of the drug.

Anna, Ivanovo

We suffered a lot with our daughter when her first teeth began to emerge, we didn’t even know what to do, so we turned to a paramedic for help (there was no one else). He advised using Cholisal, but first examined the child. After the first use, which lasted for several hours, I breathed a sigh of relief for the first time during this difficult period, and the baby became calmer.

Arina, Khanty-Mansiysk

Cholisal is a very useful drug for children under one year old; it was prescribed to us when we caught stomatitis from our eldest son. This remedy perfectly relieved pain and had an antiseptic effect. We applied it after each treatment of the oral cavity with other medications and before bed.

In dentistry, the use of Cholisal Dental for the treatment and prevention of gum diseases is widely practiced. The cosmetic product contains ingredients that have a hemostatic effect. After applying the gel to the gums, inflammation and swelling are relieved, and pain disappears. It also contains aromatic mint oil, which freshens breath.

Unlike Cholisal, Cholisal Dental is not used to treat teething children. This drug is used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity in adults. Cholisal Dental is non-toxic, well tolerated by the body, and does not provoke adverse reactions. But before using it, you should consult your doctor about the advisability and safety of treatment.

Holisal Dental is one of the representatives of the therapeutic line of dental products. A Polish manufacturer produces a drug for the prevention of damage to the oral mucosa. When wearing dentures, braces, or dental onlays, the gums and inner surface of the cheeks are often injured. Cracks, wounds, ulcers can occur under the influence of other external and internal unfavorable factors:

• overly sensitive mucous membrane;
• improper brushing of teeth;
• eating food that injures the mucous membrane, for example, seeds, chips, salted nuts;
• smoking, which worsens the condition of the oral cavity;
• diseases occurring against the background of metabolic disorders.

Course use of the drug helps improve blood circulation in the tissues. They begin to receive biologically active compounds and nutrients. Damaged epithelial cells are quickly restored, tissue healing is accelerated.

You cannot compare Holisal Dental and Metrogyl Denta.

The latter is part of the group of pharmacological drugs for the treatment of dental pathologies. It will contain components that have bactericidal and antimycotic effects. Cholisal Denta exhibits such clinical activity to a much lesser extent. It is intended more for prevention, and is used in therapy as an adjuvant.

Clinical and pharmacological group

The gel refers to medications used to prevent dental diseases. It restores the integrity of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity and prevents the development of the inflammatory process. Shows weak antimicrobial activity. Regular use of cosmetics helps maintain healthy mucous membranes.

Cholisal Dental contains ingredients that mutually enhance and prolong pharmacological actions. The drug is characterized by antiseptic activity. When the mucous membranes are injured, pathogenic bacteria quickly penetrate into the wounds. And with a decrease in immunity, they may become infected with pathogenic yeast-like fungi. This causes:

• development of acute inflammatory process;
• occurrence of dental diseases.

Most often, dentists diagnose gingivitis and stomatitis in such cases. After applying the gel to the gums, the oral cavity is sanitized. It is cleared of pathogenic microorganisms, and the affected tissues are gradually restored.

pharmachologic effect

The pharmacological properties of Cholisal Dental are based on the therapeutic activity of the ingredients. The cosmetic product contains aprotinin. It neutralizes the effects of adverse external factors on the oral mucosa. This organic compound inhibits broad-spectrum proteolytic enzymes. Aprotinin significantly reduces the activity of plasma and tissue enzymes. It is characterized by pronounced hemostatic effectiveness:

• inhibition of the contact phase of coagulation activation;
• decreased fibrinolytic activity of the blood.

If blood appears on the gums while brushing your teeth, dentists recommend using Holisal Dental. This problem often occurs when wearing braces that rub the mucous membranes of the gums. The cosmetic product quickly stops bleeding and accelerates the healing of injuries. The therapeutic effect of aprotinin is also enhanced by other components of Holisal Dental:

• propylene glycol. The chemical compound has the ability to retain water molecules in tissues. Propylene glycol moisturizes mucous membranes and protects them from drying out. It is the lack of moisture in the tissues that becomes the main cause of injury. Regular use of Cholisal Dental protects the gums, tongue, and inner surface of the cheeks from damage. Propylene glycol also exhibits weak antibacterial and antimycotic activity;
• peppermint essential oil. The chemical composition of the plant is represented by menthol, organic acids, and bioflavonoids. After contact with mucous membranes, peppermint oil irritates cold receptors and stimulates the constriction of superficial blood vessels. It has pronounced antiseptic properties. When using Holisal Dent, the oral cavity is regularly cleansed of harmful bacteria and fungi.

The presence of a plant component in a cosmetic product strengthens local immunity. A course of use of Cholisal Denta increases the resistance of mucous membranes to bacterial, viral, and fungal infectious agents. The ability of aprotinin to inhibit enzymes that stimulate the synthesis of cytokines has been clinically confirmed. It is these bioactive compounds that are responsible for the development of gum inflammation.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

After applying Holisal Dent to the gums, its ingredients are immediately absorbed by the mucous membranes. This is clearly noticeable by the instant cooling effect of the cosmetic product. It acts on receptors located in the submucosal layer, providing an analgesic effect. Local anesthetic and distracting activity occurs 3-10 minutes after application of the drug.

The ingredients of the dental gel do not penetrate the bloodstream. This explains the small number of contraindications and side effects. The action of Holisal Dent lasts about 2-3 hours. The components are metabolized in liver cells and are evacuated from the body with urine and feces.

Release form and composition

Holisal Dental is produced at a Polish pharmaceutical factory. It is packaged in aluminum tubes, each of which contains 15 ml of product. The drug is a gel with a jelly-like substance and a specific menthol odor. Secondary packaging is a cardboard box with instructions for use inside. The presence of any foreign inclusions is not allowed.

The composition of Holisal Dental is represented by the following active and auxiliary components:

• distilled water;
• propylene glycol;
• hypromellose;
• methyl parahydroxybenzoate;
• essential peppermint oil;
• propyl parahydroxybenzoate;
• disodium edetate;
• aprotinin;
• sodium hydroxide.

Auxiliary ingredients ensure optimal absorption of aprotinin and peppermint oil into the mucous membranes. Some components enhance the healing properties of active substances.

The absence of dyes in the composition significantly reduces the list of contraindications for use.

Storage conditions and periods

Holisal Dental should be stored at room temperature in places protected from sunlight. Small children who may be attracted to the sweet taste and strong aroma should not have access to it. The shelf life of the cosmetic product is 24 months. Do not use it if a foreign odor appears, color or consistency changes.

Instructions for use

The instructions for use of the Cholisal Denta gel indicate that it should be used only after medical consultation. Despite being a cosmetic product, it can have side effects. Cholisal Denta is not a pharmacological drug, therefore it is used in therapeutic combinations. Dentists recommend combining its use with therapeutic rinses. You can use pharmaceutical solutions with an antiseptic effect - Miramistin, Stomatofit, Stomadin. Infusions of medicinal herbs significantly enhance the antimicrobial properties of the product:

• sage;
• chamomile;
• calendula;
• oak bark;
• linden color.

There is no need to use cotton swabs or sterile wipes during the treatment procedure. Each package contains an applicator for convenient distribution of the gel on the gums. Before applying the gel to the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, you should contact your dentist to remove plaque. It is this that often causes the development of the inflammatory process.

Its use is not difficult:

• clean the gums with a cotton pad from formed plaque;
• using an applicator, distribute 1-1.5 cm strips of the product squeezed out of the tube onto the inflamed areas;

The substance reduces the activity of neutrophils and macrophages, cyclooxygenase and prevents the synthesis of prostaglandins. The components of the composition do not lose their medicinal properties when exposed to an alkaline environment, and also have antifungal and antimicrobial effects. Cholisal is quickly absorbed through the mucous membrane.

An additional component of the gel, tsetalkonium chloride, destroys gram-negative and gram-positive microorganisms, viruses and fungi. Propyloxybenzoate has an antibacterial effect. Due to its viscous consistency, Cholisal is not washed off from the surface by saliva.

Many people like that the medicine does not contain lidocaine, as it can cause severe allergic reactions.

Cholisal gel is a modern combined preparation for treating the oral cavity. The product has anti-inflammatory, active antimicrobial, and good analgesic effects.

There are few drugs on the dental gel market with a complex effect on the affected tissue. Cholisal is effective and safe for patients of any age. Study the instructions for use, learn about the benefits of the drug, and read the list of indications.

Composition and components

Dental gel has the appearance of a homogeneous, transparent mass and does not contain dyes. Anise seed oil gives the composition a characteristic odor.

Active substances per 1 g of medicinal gel:

• cetalkonium chloride – amount 100 mcg. An effective antiseptic, has a detrimental effect on viruses, colonies of pathogenic fungi, and pathogenic bacteria;
• choline salicylate – amount 87.1 mg. The substance actively penetrates tissue, has an antipyretic, local anti-inflammatory effect, and reduces pain. Pronounced antimycotic and antimicrobial effect on pathogens in an alkaline/acidic environment.

• volume of the drug – 10 g;
• Cholisal is good for three years;
• storage conditions - at temperatures up to +25 C, in a place where children cannot reach;
• The medicinal product is produced by Elfa FZ, Poland.

Pharmacokinetics

Dental gel has a combined effect on the affected areas:

• the product blocks inflammatory mediators in soft tissues;
• suppresses the activity of pathogenic microorganisms;
• relieves pain in inflamed areas.

Dentists consider Cholisal one of the most effective drugs that eliminate several negative manifestations of dental diseases at once. Compare:

• - a modern drug with an active analgesic effect, but exhibits almost no antimicrobial activity.
• – a popular gel for the treatment of bacterial lesions of the oral cavity. A product containing antiseptics and antibiotics kills germs, but provides little pain relief.

The effect of treatment with Cholisal will increase when rinsing with active antiseptics is prescribed - Miramistin 0.01% or 0.05%. The interaction of the components of the transparent gel-like mass and solutions will have the maximum effect on areas of inflammation. When properly processed, bacteria, fungi, and viruses reduce activity much faster.

Benefits of the healing gel

There are many positive points:

• excellent fixation on the mucous membrane;
• high anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial activity;
• the product relieves pain in the affected areas well;
• the composition is quickly absorbed, eliminates foci of inflammation deep in the tissues.

Flaws

Please note two points:

• the smell and taste of anise oil provokes profuse salivation. For this reason, do not use Cholisal in children under one year of age. The baby may choke on saliva, often there is irritation and redness around the constant wet mouth;
• The dental drug has a fairly high price. With a product volume of 10 g, the cost starts from 360 rubles.

Indications for use

The dental drug Cholisal is used for many negative processes in the oral cavity as an anti-inflammatory, analgesic with a noticeable antimicrobial effect.

• cheilitis;
• lichen planus with signs of pathology on the mucous membrane;
• various forms;
• complex therapy of affected areas in Stevens-Johnson syndrome;
• in the oral cavity;
• violation of the integrity of individual areas when wearing orthopedic structures;
• of various nature;
• mucosal injuries.

Contraindications

Please note the limitations:

• allergic reactions to salicylates, anise oil, and other components of the product;
• age up to 1 year (complications are possible with excessive salivation).

Important! Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding requires permission and supervision from a gynecologist. In the first trimester, it is not advisable to lubricate the affected areas with Cholisal: gums, inner surface of the cheeks, tongue.

Side effects

Complications and unpleasant manifestations after applying the composition occur quite rarely. If individual sensitivity occurs, a slight burning sensation may occur at the treatment site. After two to three minutes, the side effects disappear. Occasionally, other allergic reactions are observed: redness, itching.

The first negative symptoms are a reason to visit the dentist. Before visiting the doctor, stop applying the composition, take an antihistamine (Diazolin, Cetrin, Suprastin, Loratidine, Tavegil).

Interaction with other drugs

When Cholisal is combined with other analgesics, anti-inflammatory tablets, and syrups that reduce fever, an increased concentration of active substances is possible. Excess of antibiotics and antiseptics provokes allergic reactions and negatively affects the microflora of the oral cavity and intestines.

Instructions for use

Treatment of affected areas for various diseases has its own characteristics. Study the nuances of using Cholisal gel, and you will correctly apply the composition to inflamed areas.

The drug actively penetrates the mucous membrane and quickly begins to act inside the tissues: the effect is noticeable after a few minutes. The analgesic effect lasts from 2 to 8 hours.

For gingivitis and periodontitis

The drug is often included in the list of essential drugs in complex therapy. First, the dentist removes the soft plaque, which is unesthetic and harmful, and then the treatment begins. Without professional teeth cleaning, bacteria accumulated under mineralized plaque will further destroy tooth and gum tissue. (Read about professional teeth cleaning; the page is written about the procedure for sanitation of the oral cavity; a review of irrigators for cleaning the oral cavity can be seen in the article).

Treat your gums in the morning, a second time in the evening, before bed. Brush your teeth, rinse your mouth several times, dry the mucous membrane with a bandage, apply a little gel-like mass into the periodontal pockets.

Saliva will begin to be released more strongly, swallow it little by little, as always: a minimal amount of gel will not harm the stomach and intestines. If salivation is excessive, remove some of the secretions. After treatment, it is forbidden to drink for half an hour and eat for 3 hours. (Read about the treatment of gingivitis at home; periodontitis - article).

During the eruption of dentition in children and adolescents

Dental gel relieves pain well and alleviates the condition when baby/permanent teeth appear. Doctors do not recommend the drug for infants. An abundance of saliva after tissue processing creates problems.

Use Cholisal during teething to treat inflammatory processes on the gums and mucous membranes in older children. Treatment - twice a day, the same as for adults. The length of the active gel strip is up to 0.5 cm. (We have an article about dental gels during teething; read the page about other methods of teething pain relief).

To reduce the symptoms of stomatitis

Cholisal ointment actively relieves pain in damaged areas. The remedy is not able to eliminate the cause of aphthous or herpetic stomatitis, but the pain of the ulcers is noticeably reduced.

Carefully treat the inflamed areas, lubricate each formation. Don't drink for half an hour, eat after two to three hours. (Read about stomatitis in children; there is an article about aphthous stomatitis).

With severe eruption of capricious “wisdom teeth”

Third molars are often a problem for adult patients. Cholisal will not eliminate the cause of the pain; the remedy will only temporarily reduce the unpleasant symptoms. (Read about the eruption of wisdom teeth; the address is written about the possible consequences of removal.

Have you noticed swelling, redness, or discoloration of the gums above the wisdom tooth? Lubricate the swollen area with a gel-like mass, Contact your dentist as soon as possible. Lateral eruption, incomplete impaction, severe inflammation with accumulation of pus in the “hood” of the overhanging gum can only be eliminated by a doctor.

The processing method is similar:

• no more than twice a day;
• thin layer;
• for adults, a strip of gel no more than 1 cm;
• compliance with restrictions on food (3 hours) and drinks (30 minutes).

The cost of the drug varies slightly in different regions. An aluminum tube contains 10 g of medicinal gel; you can buy Cholisal at an average price of 360 rubles.

Effective analogues

There are almost no medicinal formulations with a combined effect for treating the oral cavity and inflamed mucous membranes on the Russian market. Some products kill bacteria, others provide better pain relief.

Sometimes dentists suggest replacing Cholisal with Munzidal gel. The product is a complete analogue of Cholisal, but the volume of the tube is smaller - 8 g, price - from 307 rubles.

On the forums you can find many positive reviews about Cholisal gel. Patients who treat the mucous membranes with a gel-like mass note a good analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. With regular application, bacterial activity decreases, redness, itching, swelling decreases, and bad breath disappears - clear signs of inflammation.

Not everyone likes the specific aroma and taste of anise, but for the sake of a good result you can be patient. Excessive salivation after tissue treatment is another nuance. For this reason, do not use Cholisal gel to relieve teething in infants.

The combined action drug is widely used in dentistry. The product is over-the-counter, but before use, consultation with a doctor is required. Follow the instructions for use, consider indications and contraindications. Competent therapy with Cholisal gel will have a beneficial effect on the condition of the oral cavity.
