Documented Uses

• Use (kg; approx.) in Germany (2009): >50
• Consumption (g per capita; approx.) in Germany (2009): 0.000611
• Sore throat, minor mouth and throat infections,,.
• Rapidly absorbed and eliminated.
• The mechanism of virucidal action is not fully elucidated, however it is suggested that denaturation of external protein spikes, a pH-induced rearrangement of the tertiary structure of attachment proteins, or a selective effect on viral lipid membranes/protein–lipid interaction is responsible for this action. Amylmetacresol is an antibacterial and antiviral agent, and blocks voltage-gated Na channels in a local anesthetic-like manner.
