The local application of choline salicylate is rapidly absorbed through the mucous membrane of the oral cavity, exerting analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effect.
It inhibits the activity of COX, the functions of macrophages and neutrophils, the production of IL-1 and inhibits the synthesis of PG. It also has antimicrobial and antifungal effects (in acidic and alkaline environments).
Cetalkonium chloride is an antiseptic that acts on bacteria, as well as fungi and viruses.
The gel ethanol-containing adhesive base ensures the rapid development of the effect and keeps it on the mucous membrane of the DV for a long time. Analgesic effect occurs after 2-3 minutes, while its duration is 2-8 hours.
