Miramistin for angina, according to reviews, is one of the most effective and reliable local remedies. It helps to quickly cope with the disease. If you start using it at an early stage, then there is an opportunity to avoid further development of tonsillitis. The medicine has been used for more than a year and has proven itself well.
One of the most frequently prescribed local drugs for the treatment of angina is Miramistin
Miramistin is a drug from the group of antiseptic agents. It is released in the form of a 0.01% solution and spray. It is a clear, colorless, odorless liquid that foams when the bottle is shaken. In appearance, it practically does not differ from water. This antiseptic is available in 50 or 100 ml polyethylene bottles with an applicator or a spray nozzle.
The drug has a wide spectrum of action and successfully copes with bacteria, viruses and fungi. Since the solution is practically not absorbed into the blood and does not have a systemic effect on the body, it is considered safe. Therefore, Miramistin in the treatment of angina can be used not only for adults, but also for children.

The action of Miramistin is based on its ability to destroy the cell membranes of pathogenic microorganisms. It is effective against the following microbes:
- gram-positive bacteria (streptococci, staphylococci);
- gram-negative bacteria (Klebsiella, Pseudomonas);
- mushrooms (candida, dermatophytes);
- viruses (herpes);
- causative agents of venereal diseases (Trichomonas, treponema, chlamydia).
Miramistin is active against bacteria, viruses and fungi
In addition, according to the instructions, Miramistin has the following actions:
- promotes tissue regeneration, activating regenerative processes in the area of inflammation;
- stimulates local immunity, practically without damaging viable tissue cells;
- has anti-inflammatory effect;
- absorbs purulent exudate.
Spray application method
When preparing the drug for use, remove the cap from the vial, then attach the nozzle in the form of a nebulizer removed from the protective package. Pressing the nozzle head again activates it and the spray is ready to use.
With angina in children, Miramistin can be used from the age of three:
- children from 3 to 7 years old: 3-5 ml of solution is injected in one irrigation, for this it is enough to make one press on the spray head;
- children aged 7 to 14 years: in one application, 5–7 ml of the product is injected, for this they make two clicks on the spray;
- children over 14 years old and adults: for tonsillitis, irrigate the throat by pressing the spray bottle 3-4 times.
Throat irrigation is carried out 3 or 4 times a day. The duration of treatment depends on the severity of the disease. In most cases, it lasts 4 to 7 days. According to patients, at the initial stage of angina, 1-2 irrigations may be enough for the disease to completely recede. Also, Miramistin can be used for acute and chronic pharyngitis and laryngitis.
How to gargle with Miramistin for angina
Miramistin for angina in adults and children can be used to gargle. You do not need to dilute it, it is already ready for use. For adults and children over 14 years old, one tablespoon of Miramistin is enough for the procedure.
Gargling is usually carried out for 3-10 days, depending on the severity of the disease
A small amount of the solution is taken into the mouth, tilt the head back and pronounce the letter "Y" (this will help to rinse out hard-to-reach places). Then the agent is spit out and the procedure is repeated. Rinsing is carried out for 3-5 minutes. It can be repeated 3-4 times during the day.
For children 7-14 years old, 7 ml of medicine is enough for the procedure, for babies up to seven years old - 5 ml. Small children can be diluted with Miramistin with water in a 1: 1 ratio.
Do not swallow the solution while rinsing. It is not recommended to eat for 2 hours after the procedure. Treatment of angina in this way, depending on its severity, can last from 3 to 10 days.
Contraindications and side effects
Miramistin is not recommended for use only in the presence of hypersensitivity to its components.
The drug is usually well tolerated, only in rare cases is a slight burning sensation possible in the area of application, which disappears on its own within a few minutes and does not require discontinuation of the drug. Even less often, there are allergic reactions in the form of redness.
Benefits of Miramistin
According to the reviews of patients who used Miramistin for the treatment of angina, it has many advantages:
- helps to quickly eliminate the symptoms of the disease;
- does not have a local irritating effect, therefore, when using it, there are no unpleasant sensations in the throat;
- does not cause allergies;
- enhances the effect of antibiotics and antiviral agents with simultaneous use;
- does not leave stains on clothing.
The drug has practically no taste and smell, which makes it possible to use it to treat angina in children.
Miramistin can be used not only for the treatment of tonsillitis, but also for other purposes: in dermatology, dentistry, gynecology, including for disinfection.
The spray in Miramistin spray is very convenient and quite reliable, a long tube reaching the bottom of the bottle allows you to use the product to the end. Thanks to this, the drug is economically consumed, one package is enough for a long time. The spray can be pressed easily, effortlessly.
