Ointment for stomatitis

Ointment in the treatment of stomatitis is used as a local anesthetic or antiseptic. The use of medicine in the form of an ointment helps to relieve inflammation, prevents the development of complications, accelerates the healing of wound surfaces. Ointment for stomatitis creates a kind of protective film on the inflamed area, under which the epithelialization of damaged tissues occurs, in addition, many ointment preparations contain antibacterial components, which makes it possible to affect many pathological processes simultaneously.

The undeniable advantage of the ointment is the fact that the active medicinal components are not absorbed into the blood, affecting only the selected inflamed area, in addition, the ointment form is convenient for point, application treatment of single aphthae, ulcers. The following ointments have proven themselves well in the treatment of stomatitis:

• Solcoseryl.
• Miconaz.
• Methyluracil ointment.
• Sanguiritrin.
• Anesthesin.
• Levomekol.
• Miconazole.
• Florenal ointment.
• Propolis ointment.
• Daktarin.
• Nystatin ointment.
• Clotrimazole in ointment form.
• Zovirax in the form of an ointment.
• Bonafthon.
• Acyclovir in ointment form.
• Tebrofen ointment.
• Oxolinic ointment.

In general, it should be noted that modern pharmacology no longer produces mono-based ointments, more often they have a complex effect, that is, they work with both viruses and bacteria, have an anesthetic and anti-inflammatory effect. The only relative disadvantage of the ointment compared to the gel form can be considered insufficiently fast absorption. However, the form of the drug directly depends on the type of disease, so the ointment for stomatitis has found its worthy place in the list of drugs that relieve inflammatory processes in the oral cavity.

Solcoseryl for stomatitis

Local treatment of stomatitis can sometimes be difficult, since the process of salivation not only interferes with the absorption of drugs, but often simply washes them away. This problem is successfully solved by a drug from Swiss pharmacologists - Solcoseryl. The history of the drug's creation is amazing. It turns out that in the middle of the last century, a certain scientist, while traveling through the Alpine meadows, heard a story about shepherds and the extraordinary ability of very young calves to heal wounds. The scientist's inquisitive mind did not ignore this information, the properties of the blood of "milk" calves began to be studied and soon the answer was found. A specific component was found in the bloodstream of animals that activated regenerative processes in tissues; compared to mature cows, wounds in calves healed 2 times faster. This is how a unique Swiss drug was born, which was called Solcoseryl. Much time has passed since then, Swiss pharmacologists, with their inherent responsibility, have developed many other effective drugs, but Solcoseryl continues to confidently hold the palm among many other drugs.

Dental solcoseryl, like its "brothers" from the category of topical drugs, is available in the form of an ointment. Solcoseryl consists of active biological components (blood dialysate), polidocanol, peppermint essential oil, menthol, gelatin, and pectin. All ingredients of the ointment promote tissue healing, blood dialysate is very effective, which activates blood supply to the wound surface, improves tissue nutrition and accelerates their regeneration. Polidocanol acts as an anesthetic, the pain subsides after a few minutes. Solcoseryl ointment for stomatitis and other inflammatory processes in the oral cavity works as a kind of antiseptic "bandage" that covers aphthae, ulcers from above, protecting damaged areas from additional infection. The ointment can stay and act as a wound healing agent for 4-5 hours, before this time it is almost impossible to wash it off with either saliva or water. Three hours is enough for the active components of the ointment to begin to work, the pain to subside and the process of wound epithelialization to begin.

Method of application of Solcoseryl ointment for stomatitis. The tube is opened, a small strip of ointment no longer than 0.5 cm is squeezed out of it. The strip is applied in the thinnest possible layer to the dried area of the mucous membrane. Application is conveniently carried out using a sterile gauze swab. Treatment of the oral cavity with Solcoseryl should be carried out at least 3 times a day after meals, the regimen is usually as follows:

• Morning, 8.00.
• Lunch time is 14:00.
• Evening – 20.00.

The last application is best done just before bedtime, the course of treatment is determined by the doctor, but, as a rule, it corresponds to the amount of ointment in the tube - 5 grams. Thus, solcoseryl can be used until all the product is finished. The drug does not cause complications, it can be prescribed to pregnant women, children, elderly patients.

Nystatin for stomatitis

Nystatin is an effective drug that helps neutralize fungal infections, therefore, nystatin for stomatitis will be necessary only if a candidal inflammatory process in the oral cavity is diagnosed. Drugs containing nystatin can not only stop candidiasis of the mucous membrane, but also help prevent its relapses. The drug is able to destroy the cell membranes of Candida, then penetrates into the cell itself and begins to gradually destroy it. Currently, nystatin is available in various forms - vaginal suppositories, ointments, tablets, rectal suppositories. As a local treatment for stomatitis, nystatin is used in the form of an ointment. Despite its effectiveness, the drug has contraindications and has side effects in the form of local manifestations of allergies, so it is prescribed only according to indications and only for adult patients. Previously, nystatin was used to treat children, the modern pharmaceutical industry produces safer drugs that are much more effective, act in a complex manner and do not carry the risk of complications. For example, nystatin suspension is superior to the same form of fluconazole, in terms of effectiveness and safety, fluconazole is ahead of nystatin by 75%. In many sources, including on the Internet, there are still prescriptions using nystatin, however, it is obvious that they are outdated information and should not be used in practice. Nystatin for stomatitis of candidal etiology is more a history of the treatment of an inflammatory disease of the oral cavity than a truly necessary and effective therapeutic procedure.

Nystatin ointment for stomatitis

Nystatin is a specific polyene antibiotic with antifungal action. The main task of nystatin is to neutralize Candida and Aspergillus cells. This occurs due to the binding of nystatin to the sterol molecules of the membrane of fungal cells, as a result of which ions penetrate into the cell and begin the process of its destruction. Small prolonged doses of nystatin ointment help to slow down the development of candidal stomatitis, high doses and frequent application can completely eliminate Candida. A positive property of nystatin ointment is its availability, ease of use, in addition, the components of the drug are practically not absorbed into the blood. However, at present, nystatin is prescribed extremely rarely, only in cases where other drugs have not had the desired effect. This is due to the presence of other, complex

Nystatin ointment for stomatitis is applied very carefully, directly to the area of aphthae or ulcers; overdose or too frequent use of the ointment can cause the following complications:

• Itching sensation at the site of application.
• Hyperemia of the oral mucosa.
• Swelling of the oral cavity.
• Burning sensation at the site of application.
• Allergic reaction.

Nystatin ointment is quite active, so the application procedures are carried out no more than twice a day, and the course of treatment should not exceed two weeks. If stomatitis is diagnosed as chronic, then after the first course of treatment with nystatin, you need to take a break for 21 days, and then applications with ointment can be repeated.

Oxolinic ointment for stomatitis

Oxolinic ointment is an active antiviral agent that helps reduce the risk of infection, but is not a universal drug. Oxolinic ointment for stomatitis is prescribed for the herpetic type of inflammation, as a rule, a 0.25% concentration is used. The ointment should be applied to the vesicles, but before this, it is necessary to treat the oral cavity. Antiseptic rinses, irrigations not only neutralize the main signs of infection, but also slightly dry the mucous membrane, thereby creating conditions for fixing the ointment.

Application mode - at least 3 times a day, in case of exacerbations or widespread process the product can be applied every 2 hours. A good result is given by complex treatment, when between ointment applications the patient takes Imudon tablets, which activate local immunity.

It should be remembered that oxolinic ointment for stomatitis can only have an effect on the herpes virus; it is powerless against a bacterial infection, as well as against allergic or ulcerative necrotic stomatitis.

It is advisable to use ointment for stomatitis in the initial stage of the disease, when vesicles are just forming, the acute development of the process is not controlled by oxolinic ointment, and in such cases more active drugs are required, such as zovirax, acyclovir.
