Oxygen

Oxygen is certainly one of the most effective means to combat skin problems. More importantly, it is that Oxigel not only stops the effect of pathogenic organisms on the skin, but also destroys any subsequent possibility of disease recurrence. The target audience for Oxigel's use are people suffering from:

• Acne
• Acne
• Seborrhea

It's worth briefly describing how Oxigel works. First of all, it is antiseptic treatment of the affected area. Then, oxygen is released from the skin, and then the activity of the gland of the skin decreases, which can serve as a source of feeding anaerobic bacteria, which are mainly concentrated in the follicular parts of the skin.

Indications Oxygen

It is necessary to dwell in more detail on the indications that have to use Oxygel. First of all, it is a variety of skin diseases associated directly with the transition age, as well as more independent bacterial diseases. Indications for use Oxygen include the fight against the following diseases and their manifestations:

• Acne vulgaris of mild to moderate form
• Acne
• Fat seborrhea
• Ulcerative formations of a different nature of the lower extremity belt

Oxygen is no less in demand in cosmetology cabinets as a means:

• which handles the hands of the cosmetologist both before and after performing certain cosmetological actions
• Treatment of minor injuries, including inflammation and microcracks in order to accelerate regeneration processes
• During various massage acts

Release form

The agent Oxygen is intended exclusively for external use, since it is aimed at solving problems with skin of a local nature. 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 Oxygen in the tuba. The most common option for the sale of tubes is 10% gel in a tube with a volume of 2 grams. There are also great options, up to 75 milliliters, but with less concentration. The first option is the most effective and most active for purely therapeutic purposes, whereas the second variant with a lower concentration is used as an antiseptic processing element.

[7], [8], [9]

Pharmacodynamics

The oxygel exhibits a very specific pharmacodynamics for its composition, namely, it conducts a complete antiseptic treatment of the application zone. Then there is a so-called keratological effect, and in simpler words - exfoliation of excess horny integuments with the help of special substances that make up this medication. Since oxygen adversely affects anaerobic bacteria, namely, it inhibits the process of their development, there is another facet of the pharmacodynamics of Oxygen - the release of oxygen. Also, the remedy reduces the process of sebum secretion by its glands.

[10], [11],

Pharmacokinetics

The pharmacokinetics of Oxigel is similar to the overwhelming majority of external preparations of this type, since it is completely absorbed by the skin during application. After this, conversion to benzoic acid takes place. This is typical for the drug Oxigel. 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 withdrawn from the body through urine. 

[12], [13]

Dosing and administration

The method of application of the drug is simple enough, because before applying the gel of absolutely any concentration, you should take care of the 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, it should be rubbed until it is completely absorbed into the skin. After application, wash hands thoroughly. Oxygen should be applied once a day during the first week, after which the application should be increased to two times a day. The basic course is no less than eight or ten weeks.

[22], [23], [24]

Use Oxygen during pregnancy

Oxygen should be used as strictly as possible during pregnancy or during breastfeeding. It should be noted that during this period it is necessary to refrain from using this medication, as this may adversely affect the development of the fetus during pregnancy or lead to the loss of breast milk from a nursing mother. Before using Oxigel, as with any other medication, the expectant mother should consult with the doctor in charge. During pregnancy, even the most harmless drugs can harm future mothers and fetuses.

Contraindications

Contraindications to the use of oxygel are quite familiar for such drugs, namely: the inability to use the gel at the time when the field 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. Use Oxygen should only be prescribed by a doctor, which, first of all, should determine whether you have any contraindications to the use of Oxygen, namely - intolerance or allergies to one or another of its components.

[14], [15], [16], [17]

Side effects Oxygen

A peculiar plus in the side effects of oxigel is the fact that it does not cause chronic, as well as systemic effects. The main side effects of the drug are manifested in the form of local irritation of the skin at the application site. It can also manifest as allergic irritation, or excessive dryness of the skin. In case of occurrence of similar side effects it is necessary to stop the use of the medicine for a while until the disappearance of the latter. Also, a certain side effect is the characteristic burning 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 Oxigel's use was not observed, since all the components of the medicine are not capable of damaging, either to the skin cover of a person, or directly to the whole body. More importantly, it should be noted that at the time of application, the substance should be avoided on the mucous membrane of the eyes, nose and mouth. Otherwise, irritating effects arise: redness and others.

[25], [26]

Interactions with other drugs

Interactions Oxigel with other drugs is not found, which is why this drug is most suitable in the case of several drugs at once. Nevertheless, one should not abuse, using several drugs at the same time, since the reaction of each organism is individual. 

[27], [28], [29],

Storage conditions

The storage conditions are quite simple. It is necessary to keep the gel out of reach of children, and also as much as possible isolated from sunlight. Storage should be performed at a temperature of at least eight, but not more than twenty-eight degrees Celsius. Damage to the packaging of the preparation can significantly shorten the life of the product, or even make it completely unsuitable for use. Store the drug is recommended in a special medicine cabinet, 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 carefully rub the gel in a particularly sensitive skin, otherwise a rather unpleasant sensation of burning should be expected. It is also necessary to exclude the ingestion of the drug in mucous membranes, as well as open wounds, since again serious irritation may follow.  

Shelf life

Shelf life is two years, so you should check the tube for applying the date of manufacture in order to determine the expiry date. If all the conditions of proper storage are observed, the expiration date indicated on the packaging is as accurate and correct as possible. In the event that the storage conditions have been violated, the shelf life is reduced, and in some cases the drug becomes unsuitable for use and should be disposed of.
