Oxygel

Oxygel is certainly one of the most effective means of combating skin problems. What is more important is that Oxygel not only stops the effects of pathogenic organisms on the skin, but also destroys any subsequent possibility of recurrence of diseases. The target audience for using Oxygel are people suffering from:

• Acne
• Seborrhea

It is worth briefly describing how Oxygel works. First of all, it is an antiseptic treatment of the affected area. Then oxygen is released from the skin, after which the activity of the sebaceous glands of the skin decreases, which can serve as a source of nutrition for anaerobic bacteria, which are mainly concentrated in the follicular parts of the skin.

Release form

The Oxygel product is intended for external use only, as it is aimed at solving local skin problems. That is why this drug has only one form of release, namely gel. But there are various variations that differ only in the volume of Oxygel in the tube. The most common option for selling tubes is 10% gel in a 2 gram tube. There are also larger options, up to 75 milliliters, but with a lower concentration. The first option is the most effective and most active for purely therapeutic purposes, while the second option with a lower concentration is used as an antiseptic treatment element.

Pharmacodynamics

Oxygel exhibits a pharmacodynamics that is quite specific for its composition, namely, it carries out a complete antiseptic treatment of the application area. Then the so-called keratological effect occurs, or in simpler words - exfoliation of excess horny skin with the help of special substances included in the composition of this drug. Since oxygen negatively affects anaerobic bacteria, namely, it inhibits the process of their development, another facet of Oxygel pharmacodynamics arises - the release of oxygen. The product also reduces the process of secretion of sebum by its glands.

[ 10 ], [ 11 ]

Pharmacokinetics

The pharmacokinetics of Oxygel are similar to the vast majority of topical preparations of this type, as it is completely absorbed by the skin upon application. After that, it is converted into benzoic acid. This is typical for the drug Oxygel. This acid is actually an antiseptic. It is practically harmless at this dosage. It should be noted that only about five percent of the original drug is not processed, being excreted from the body through urine.

Dosing and administration

The method of using the medicine is quite simple, since before applying the gel of absolutely any concentration, you should take care of maximum cleaning of the future application area. To do this, just wash it, then wipe it dry with a soft towel. After applying the gel, rub it in until it is completely absorbed into the skin. After applying, wash your hands thoroughly. Oxygel should be used once a day during the first week, then increase the use to twice a day. The basic course is at least eight or ten weeks.

It is necessary to approach the use of Oxygel during pregnancy or during breastfeeding as strictly as possible. It should be noted that during this period it is necessary to refrain from using this medicine, as it may adversely affect the development of the fetus during pregnancy or lead to the loss of breast milk in the nursing mother. Before using Oxygel, as with any other medical drug, the expectant mother should consult with her doctor. During pregnancy, even the most harmless drugs can harm the expectant mother and the fetus.

Contraindications

Contraindications to the use of Oxygel are quite common for such drugs, namely: the impossibility of using the gel at the moment when the area of application is damaged both by physical damage and directly by other types of damage. Also, the drug is contraindicated in case of allergy, hypersensitivity to the components of this gel.

Side effects Oxygel

A peculiar advantage of the side effects of oxygel is the fact that it does not cause chronic or systemic consequences. The main side effects of the drug are manifested in the form of local irritation of the skin at the site of application. It can also manifest itself in the form of allergic irritation or excessive dryness of the skin. In the event of such side effects, you should temporarily stop using the drug until the latter disappears. Also, a certain side effect is a characteristic burning sensation during the period of exposure to oxygel, but even in this case, the effectiveness of the drug is observed.

[ 18 ], [ 19 ], [ 20 ], [ 21 ]

Overdose

Overdose in case of using Oxygel was not observed, since all components of the drug are not capable of harming either the human skin or the whole body. More importantly, it should be noted that when applying the drug, it is necessary to avoid getting the substance on the mucous membrane of the eyes, nose and mouth. Otherwise, irritating consequences occur: redness and others.

[ 25 ], [ 26 ]

Interactions with other drugs

No interactions of Oxygel with other drugs have been found, which is why this drug is most suitable in the case of using several drugs at once. However, you should not abuse it by using several drugs at the same time, since each organism reacts differently.

[ 27 ], [ 28 ], [ 29 ]

Storage conditions

Storage conditions are quite simple. It is necessary to keep the gel out of the reach of children, and as isolated as possible from sunlight. Store at a temperature of at least eight but not more than twenty-eight degrees Celsius. Damage to the packaging of the drug can significantly reduce its shelf life or even make it completely unsuitable for use. It is recommended to store the drug in a special first aid kit, cabinet, or other place where the risk of any mechanical damage to the packaging is minimized.

Special instructions

Special instructions for use are as follows: it is necessary to rub the gel into particularly sensitive skin with the utmost care, since otherwise one should expect a rather unpleasant form of burning. It is also necessary to avoid getting the preparation into mucous membranes, as well as open wounds, since serious irritation may again follow.

Shelf life

The shelf life is two years, so you should check the tube for the manufacturing date to determine the expiration date. If all the conditions of proper storage are met, the expiration date indicated on the package is as accurate and correct as possible. If the storage conditions are violated, the shelf life is reduced, and in some cases the drug becomes unsuitable for use and should be disposed of.
