Pharmacological Action
Farington is a locally disinfecting drug with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.
Chlorhexidine contained in the drug demonstrates bactericidal activity against gram (+) and gram (-) of microorganisms (Str. mutans,  E.coli, Veillonella species , Selenomonas, anaerobic bacteria, Proteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella) and has a fungistatic action on  Candida fungus and certain moulds. Its action is aimed at blocking amino groups of proteins that make up the cell membranes. The drug penetrates the intracellular membrane of microbial agent and entering the membrane function by depositing on the cytoplasm damages oxygen consumption and causes ATP deficiency and leads to destruction of the microbial agent. Ascorbic acid tends to reduce swelling in mucous membranes, increases the local immunity, participates in tissue regeneration, and collagen synthesis.   
Chlorhexidine is not absorbed through mucous membranes and in the digestive tract. Slightly alkaline saliva creates optimal conditions for chlorhexidine antibacterial action. Up to 10% drug is metabolized by the liver. The remaining part is eliminated unchanged in feces.
