Abstract
Three pharmaceutical preparations for the disinfection of the oropharynx were tested with regard to the gramicidin concentration obtained in the saliva after their appropriate application. Peak values followed a dose-concentration relationship and were highest after sucking a lozenge containing 10 mg tyrothricin (mean 109.3 mg/L) followed by that of a gargle/mouth-wash containing 667 mg tyrothricin/L (mean 21.1 mg/L) and of a lozenge containing 4 mg tyrothricin (mean 14.4 mg/L).
