1 tablet of Lysobact contains 20 mg of lysozyme hydrochloride and 10 mg of pyridoxine. These components provide the drug with antiseptic properties. They repeat the structure of the substances produced in the human body, so the medicine is one of the safest.
Lysozyme is responsible for the destruction of pathogenic bacteria, fungi and viruses. And pyridoxine increases the protection of the oral mucosa.
