Dioxysol

Dioxysol is a combination drug that contains two active components: hydroxymethylquinoxylin dioxide and trimecaine. These components have an antiseptic and anesthetic effect, which makes Dioxyzol useful for the treatment of various infectious and inflammatory diseases of the skin and mucous membranes.

Hydroxymethylquinoxylin dioxide has antimicrobial properties, making it effective against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria and some fungi. This substance is often used in medical and cosmetic products for the treatment and prevention of infections.

Trimecaine is a local anesthetic used for pain relief. It blocks the transmission of nerve impulses to the area of application, which provides a temporary reduction in pain sensitivity in the treated area.

Dioxysol is used for the treatment and prevention of the following conditions:

• Infectious and inflammatory diseases of the skin and mucous membranes;
• Wounds, abrasions, burns - where both pain relief and infection prevention are important;
• Inflammatory diseases of the mouth and throat, such as stomatitis or tonsillitis.

Dioxysol can be provided in a variety of forms, including solutions, sprays and ointments, making it convenient for a variety of applications. Before use, it is important to consult a doctor who can help you choose the appropriate form and dosage, as well as discuss possible side effects and precautions.

Dosing and administration

Usually for the treatment of purulent wounds, Dioxyzol is used topically in the form of a solution or ointment. Here are general recommendations for use and dosage:

1. Wound preparation: Before applying Dioxyzol, it is necessary to thoroughly clean and treat the purulent wound. This can be done by using an antiseptic solution (such as chlorhexidine), rinsing the wound with saline, or as recommended by a doctor.
2. Using Dioxysol: After the wound has been cleaned, Dioxysol can be applied to the affected area. To do this, you can use a gauze swab soaked in the solution, or apply a thin layer of ointment to the surface of the wound. Dosage and frequency of use may vary depending on the severity and nature of the wound, as well as the doctor's recommendations.
3. Dressing: Depending on the condition of the wound and the doctor's recommendations, after applying Dioxyzol, the wound can be bandaged to ensure protection and maintain cleanliness.
