Main effect of Medistus® Antivirus lozenges
With Medistus® Antivirus lozenges you have purchased a medical device with a plant-based complex of active ingredients. The Kistosyn® 200 extract forms a protective film that covers the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat. This protective barrier leads to a physical (mechanical) defence against viruses and bacteria that cause respiratory disease and thus helps to prevent their penetration into body cells and their multiplication. With their natural active ingredients, Medistus® Antivirus lozenges help to strengthen the natural barrier function of the oral and pharyngeal mucosa. The resulting protective film moisturises the oral and pharyngeal mucosa and protects it from further external influences. Due to this physical mode of action, there is no formation of resistance.
