Composition

Active ingredient:

hydroxymethylquinoxalindioxide 5 mg

Pharmacological action

Broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent. Active against Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae (Friedlander’s bacillus), Escherichia coli, Shigella dysenteria, Shigella flexneri, Shigella boydii, Shigella sonnei, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., pathogenic anaerobes (Clostridium perfringens). It acts on bacterial strains that are resistant to other antibacterial drugs, including antibiotics. It does not have a local irritant effect. It is possible to develop drug resistance of bacteria. Treatment of burn and purulent-necrotic wounds promotes faster cleaning of the wound surface, stimulates reparative regeneration and marginal epithelialization, and favorably affects the course of the wound process.

When applied externally, it is partially absorbed from the wound or burn surface. It penetrates well and quickly into all organs and tissues, and is excreted by the kidneys. It doesn’t accumulate.
