DESCRIPTION

Sodium chloride, also known as salt, common salt, table salt or halite, is an ionic compound with the chemical formula NaCl, representing a 1:1 ratio of sodium and chloride ions. Sodium chloride is the primary salt in seawater and in the extracellular fluid of many multicellular organisms.
Benzalkonium chloride, also known alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride , is a type of cationic surfactant. It is an organic salt classified as a quaternary ammonium compound. It has three main categories of use: as a biocide, a cationic surfactant, and as a phase transfer agent.
Benzalkonium is a quaternary ammonium compound used as a biocide, a cationic surfactant, and as a phase transfer agent . It is more commonly contained in consumer products in its salt form, benzalkonium chloride . This salt is used in a great variety of international pharmaceutical products such as eye, ear, and nasal drops or sprays as an excipient ingredient serving as an antimicrobial preservative ,it is an active antimicrobial agent

Mechanism

Sodium chloride — major electrolytes of the fluid compartment outside of cells (i.e., extracellular) — work together to control extracellular volume and blood pressure. Disturbances in sodium concentrations in the extracellular fluid are associated with disorders of water balance. Benzalkonium chloride: not entirely elucidated, the bactericidal action of benzalkonium chloride is believed to be due to the disruption of intermolecular interactions. Such disruption can cause the dissociation of cellular membrane lipid bilayers of bacteria, resulting in compromised cellular permeability control and the leakage of important cellular contents, a variety of critical intermolecular interactions and tertiary structures in very highly specific biochemical systems that allow bacterial agents to function normally can be readily disrupted or deactivated by cationic surfactants like benzalkonium.

Pharmacodynamics

Sodium chloride:Sodium the major cation of the extracellular fluid, functions primarily in the control of water distribution, fluid balance, and osmotic pressure of body fluids. Sodium is also associated with chloride and bicarbonate in the regulation of the acid-base equilibrium of body fluid. Chloride, the major extracellular anion, closely follows the metabolism of sodium, and changes in the acid-base balance of the body are reflected by changes in the chloride concentration.

Benzalkonium chloride:Benzalkonium chloride solutions are generally categorized as biocidal agents with relative long durations of action. Their spectrum of activity has been demonstrated against bacteria, to some viruses, fungi, and protozoa , although bacterial spores are treated as being resistant to the agent. Finally, solutions of benzalkonium chloride are bacteriostatic or bactericidal based on their concentration. Bacteriostatic agents act to prevent further growth of bacterial organisms that are present while bactericidal agents function to kill bacteria that are present . In general, the activity of the agent is not largely affected by pH, but such activity does increase substantially at higher temperatures and prolonged exposure times.

Pharmacokinetics

Sodium chloride:
Absorption: of sodium in the small intestine plays an important role in the absorption of chloride, amino acids, glucose, and water. Chloride, in the form of hydrochloric acid (HCl), is also an important component of gastric juice, which aids the digestion and absorption of many nutrients. The volume of distribution is 0.64 L/kg
Elimination: Substantially excreted by the kidneys.

Benzalkonium chloride:
Absorption: benzalkonium chloride absorption was evaluated in women using tampons containing the agent. Venous blood samples were drawn 15 minutes before the tampon application and then again at 15 min, 1 h, 3 h, and 24 h after application. Benzalkonium chloride was not detected in any of the blood samples at any time tested. the excipients will only ever be present at the minimal levels necessary to maintain the integrity of the product substance.
Metabolism:benzalkonium chloride is structurally a large, positively charged molecule it is likely poorly absorbed and eliminated largely in faeces, similar to other quaternary ammonium compounds
Elimination: Administered benzalkonium chloride is likely eliminated largely in faeces, similar to other quaternary ammonium compounds

Contraindications

• ✓
  Contraindicated in patients with congestive heart failure, severe renal impairment, conditions of sodium retention, oedema, liver cirrhosis.
• ✓
  Pregnant: Contact your doctor before taking this.

Side Effects

Though very rare but some of the reported side-effects of this include:
• ✓
  Signs of an allergic reaction, like rash
• ✓
  Trouble breathing
• ✓
  Swallowing or talking
• ✓
  Unusual hoarseness
• ✓
  or swelling of the mouth, tongue, throat

How to use

• ✓
  Start by washing your hands thoroughly with soap and water to prevent any contamination.
• ✓
  Gently blow your nose to clear out any mucus, making it easier for the drops to reach the affected area.
• ✓
  You can lie down on a bed with your head hanging slightly over the edge or tilt your head back if you're sitting or standing. For certain conditions, tilting your head to the side may be recommended.
• ✓
  It's often easier to lay them flat on their back with a towel or pillow under their neck to tilt their head slightly backward.
• ✓
  Hold the dropper above your nostril without touching it to avoid contamination.
• ✓
  Place the recommended number of drops into each nostril.
• ✓
  Remain in the same position for about 1 to 2 minutes to allow the drops to spread properly through the nasal passages.
