This is exactly the description of Rotokan given in the dictionary of medications. But you just have to look at the Internet and enter this name into a search engine, and a lot of questions and, accordingly, advice regarding its use will immediately pop up.

Some people recommend dripping it into your nose, some applying it to the skin to get rid of acne, some using it for inhalation, and some even douching. However, the product most often mentioned is Rotokan for gargling and mouthwash.

"Rotokan": general characteristics and scope of application.

Rotocan is an extract from components of plant origin, because... each of the ingredients included in its composition are natural medicines.

So it includes:

• Chamomile, which is known for its anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and analgesic properties
• Yarrow, which has wound-healing properties
• Calendula, known for its bactericidal effect

In connection with this, this drug is endowed with the following properties:

• Antiseptic
• Anti-inflammatory
• Painkillers
• Antispasmodic
• Hemostatic
• Regenerative (restoration of mucous membranes)

The extract (in most cases an aqueous solution based on it) is used both internally and externally.

The scope of its application is quite wide. As mentioned above, Rotokan is often used in dental practice to treat various diseases of the oral cavity, as well as in gastroenterology.

And here many people wonder, is it possible to gargle with Rotokan? The answer is, of course you can. This drug is often used for damage to the mucous membrane of the throat caused by various infectious diseases of the upper respiratory tract, which, in turn, cause inflammatory processes pharynx, larynx and tonsils.

These include:

• ARVI and influenza
• Chronic tonsillitis and sore throat
• Pharyngitis
• Laryngitis.

Rotokan gargle is used to treat the above diseases as part of combination therapy. The following symptoms accompanying various diseases of the upper respiratory tract can be considered indications for its use:

• Cough
• Dry throat, sore throat and pain
• Difficulty swallowing.

Thanks to its composition, Rotokan not only helps cleanse inflamed surfaces from pathogenic microbes, but also prevents their further reproduction.

How to dilute Rotokan for gargling

Before you start gargling a sore throat, you must carefully read the attached instructions. For example, this extract cannot be used in its pure form, but only as an aqueous solution, which is prepared immediately before use.

Before gargling with Rotokan, you need to prepare an aqueous solution. To do this, you need to dilute 1 tsp. Rotokan products (or 5 ml.) in 1 glass of warm boiled water. The water temperature should be 30-40 °C. When using hot water to prepare the solution, all the healing properties of the drug will be lost.

The resulting liquid must be stirred for 30 seconds. The solution is prepared in just half a minute, which is certainly very convenient. The prepared product, in an amount of 30 ml, should be taken into the mouth and gargled with it. After a minute, the solution should be spat out and the procedure repeated again. Continue rinsing until the glass is empty. This procedure takes about 10 minutes.

The effectiveness of treatment directly depends on how often such a procedure is performed. Moreover, the instructions indicate that you need to gargle with the resulting solution 3-4 times a day.

After the first rinse, you need to monitor your condition. So we can consider that the drug is suitable if no discomfort is observed within 4 hours. If well tolerated, the dosage can be increased to enhance therapeutic effect– dilute 2 tsp. extract in 1 glass of water. Rinse according to the same scheme. If the body continues to react positively, you can continue rinsing with an even more saturated solution - 3 tsp. for 1 glass of water. The dose should be increased in this way only the next day.

Rotokan for gargling for children under 12 years of age should also be diluted in a ratio of 1:40 (1 tsp per 200 ml of water), but rinse in small doses (10-20 ml), not in one go more than half a glass. The duration of treatment should be determined by the doctor.

Is it always possible to have Rotokan?

Rotokan is a herbal preparation, therefore, like any similar drug, it is low-toxic. In this regard, it can be used to treat children and pregnant women.

However, it should be noted here that the use of Rotokan internally in this case is contraindicated, because the composition includes ethyl alcohol. But rinsing with Rotokan during pregnancy, as well as in childhood, is quite possible. You can also use this drug for inhalation. Rotocan is often used in pediatrics as an effective anti-inflammatory agent.

Due to the ethanol content of the extract, you should not use it while driving a car or during work that requires a certain concentration and increased attention. The use of the drug should be excluded in case of individual intolerance to its components, in case of kidney and liver damage, in case of traumatic brain injury, as well as in the presence of alcoholism.

If an allergic reaction to the components of the extract occurs (redness, itching, skin rashes), you should immediately stop taking it and consult a doctor.
