Syntomycin ointment - instructions for use

Syntomycin ointment should be used strictly following the instructions. If the dose of the drug is significantly exceeded, it negatively affects the patient's condition due to toxic effects.

To treat purulent cavities and fistula tracts, their preliminary surgical treatment is necessary. Without it, you cannot start using liniment, since it will not be able to penetrate into the deep layers of tissue and have the necessary effect. After cleaning the cavities, they are loosely filled with tampons soaked in the drug.

Liniment eliminates acne with high efficiency. It is recommended to use it if other compounds are not used. Depending on how intense the rash occurs, the drug is applied in different ways.

For severely inflamed acne, use an ointment with a concentration of 10%. It is applied only pointwise to the sore spot. Each pimple must be treated morning and evening. This treatment lasts until acne is completely eliminated, which takes an average of 5 days.

If acne is abundant, but there is no severe inflammation, then it is recommended to use 1% liniment as a cream. Apply a thin layer to the face morning and evening, avoiding the area around the eyes. If the composition is not completely absorbed, then warm boiled water is used to remove its residues from the skin, but not earlier than an hour after application.

As a mask, synthomycin liniment 5% is applied to the skin in a thick layer if there are multiple inflamed nodes. This treatment is carried out once a day. With more frequent use, there is a high risk of overdose, which requires separate treatment. Keep the mask for half an hour, after which it is washed off with boiled warm water.

For burns

For burns, synthomycin 10% is used. Therapy against damage needs to be comprehensive and the use of liniment alone is insufficient. Synthomycin ointment for burns is effective only if the germ layer of the skin is not affected. If it is destroyed, this therapy is not carried out. For 2nd and 3rd degree burns, liniment allows you to avoid the development of bacterial infection, purulent complications and the formation of significant scars.

To treat a burn, a sterile gauze bandage is soaked in syntomycin and applied to the affected area. The bandage should be changed once a day. If pain and itching occur under the gauze during the day, the bandage can be replaced with a new one, but only if the area treated with ointment is small. For large areas of the burn, repeated application of the ointment on the same day is prohibited. Treatment is carried out until the damaged area is completely healed.

In ophthalmology

The ointment is also effective for the eyes, for diseases such as various inflammations of the eyelids. In these cases, syntomycin liniment is used only strictly according to medical indications. The product can be applied with a concentration of 1% or 5%, which is determined by the ophthalmologist. It is unacceptable to prescribe a drug without permission.

The ointment is applied pointwise to the area of ​​inflammation and in such a way that it does not get on the mucous membrane of the eye. If this happens, you must immediately rinse your eye with cold running water. The eyelids should be treated with ointment 2 times a day for 7-10 days. If the inflammation subsides earlier, early cessation of therapy is permitted.

For herpes on the lips

Syntomycin ointment is a unique antibiotic drug, as it can treat not only bacterial infections, but also inhibit the herpes virus. Other antibiotics are completely useless against herpes. As soon as a problem is detected, synthomycin ointment is applied to the area of ​​the rash on the lips 4 times a day until the tissues are completely healed. It is not prohibited to combine the drug with other agents whose action is aimed at eliminating this infection.

In cosmetology

Liniment is also used in the fight against age spots. For these purposes, you should purchase the composition in a concentration of 10%.

It is applied 3 times a day in a thick layer to the affected areas of the skin, without covering the normal ones. In a similar way, ointment is applied to get rid of scars left after purulent acne on the face. The course of such therapy takes from 10 to 14 days. The liniment should be washed off after 3 hours with warm water. It must be borne in mind that the ointment is medicinal and cannot be used continuously as a cosmetic product.

For hemorrhoids

For hemorrhoids, treatment with syntomycin should be agreed with a doctor. If the cones are external, then after washing them, they are treated with ointment in the morning and evening until the unpleasant symptoms of the disease are relieved. For internal lumps, a gauze swab is soaked in the drug, which is inserted at night before bed after cleansing the intestines. This tampon will come out on its own in the morning at the time of bowel movement.

Diaper rash

Liniment is applied to previously washed and dried skin in a thin layer. The top of the affected area is covered with a gauze bandage. The treatment is carried out in the morning and evening until diaper rash is completely eliminated. If there are factors predisposing to the occurrence of the problem, it is useful to use the ointment for prevention once every 2 days, applying a thin layer to the problem areas.

For calluses

In the presence of torn water calluses, when a weeping open wound forms on the skin, liniment is used from the very first day. The affected area is first cleaned and dried by applying a gauze pad. You only need to wash the wound with boiled water. Afterwards the liniment is applied in a thick layer. If possible, the damaged area with the ointment applied to it should be left open.

From abrasions and scratches

The ointment can also be used for various scratches and abrasions after the bleeding has stopped. It allows you to avoid purulent complications, especially if it was not possible to carry out full antiseptic treatment of the injury. In such a situation, it is enough to lubricate the damaged skin with the drug daily in the morning and evening until a dense crust forms. The need for a bandage is determined by the degree of damage.

Before using this product, it is recommended to consult a specialist. The drug is effective for healing wounds and other damage to the skin and mucous membranes. The active substances included in the product penetrate to the lesion and have an analgesic and antimicrobial effect. Instructions for using syntomycin ointment depend on the purpose for which the drug is used. The product is suitable for prevention and treatment.

If you use the ointment for a long time, you should take a break from using it and replace it with other medications. Apply synthomycin emulsion to the damaged area (it is not recommended to treat healthy skin). During treatment with the drug, it is not recommended to use additional medications to avoid allergies and other side effects. Below are instructions that you should follow during the treatment period.

Depending on the form of release and the disease, the composition is used to treat mucous membranes or wounds.

• Syntomycin ointment for bacterial skin infections and other problems is used with 5-10 percent of the active substance for external use.
• The cream is suitable for the treatment of gynecological inflammations (in the form of therapeutic tampons).

To make a healing bandage, you need:

1. Apply the drug to the damaged area.
2. Cover everything with a bandage.
3. Change the dressing after 2-5 days.

Use of the drug in children

Liniment is used in children with:

• diaper rash;
• herpes zoster;
• boils;
• burns;
• acne and other types of inflammatory skin lesions;
• purulent inflammatory process in apocrine sweat glands;
• superficial pustular skin disease, the development of which is provoked by staphylococci or streptococci;
• eye inflammation.

Along with this, Sintomycin is widely used in pediatric gynecology and urology for the treatment of vulvitis in girls and balanoposthitis in boys. The medicine is prescribed exclusively by a doctor.

Along with this, when applying the ointment to the nasal mucosa, there is a high probability of disturbing the natural microflora of its cavity, as a result of which the pathological process will continue to worsen. Thus, Synthomycin should not be used in children to treat runny nose.

The drug is prohibited for use in newborn infants. In children under 1 year of age, the drug is used with great caution. In children of this age, contact of the ointment with the skin can lead to the occurrence of “gray” syndrome. The drug is used externally in children only. The use of the drug in young patients, especially those under 3 years of age, is recommended to be agreed with a pediatrician.

When treating babies with ointment, 3 basic rules should be taken into account:

• only 5 percent ointment is used;
• before applying liniment, damaged areas of skin are treated with a disinfectant;
• The medicine is applied no more than 3 times a day.

Children, due to the imperfection of the immune system and the structure of the genital organs, are susceptible to inflammation. Vulvitis refers to inflammatory diseases of the intimate area, which are most often found in girls of preschool age. In boys, the infectious process often develops into balanoposthitis - inflammation of the head of the penis and foreskin.

The ointment is successfully used in pediatrics to treat various skin lesions: acne, boils, herpes, 2nd and 3rd degree burns, diaper rash, mechanical injuries.

The table provides information on ways to use liniment in the treatment of various dermatological problems.

If you believe numerous reviews, the therapeutic effect occurs already on the 5th day of regular application of the drug. If there are no positive results after 7 days of daily use of the ointment, the child should be shown to a doctor.

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics

It is important to study the nature of the drug’s fight against pathogenic bacteria and inflammatory processes before using a bacteriostatic agent. Chloramphenicol inhibits the process of protein synthesis in bacterial cells, as a result of which their development stops. The substance has the property of lipophilicity.

Invading the bacterial cell membrane, it binds to the ribosomal subunit. Then it inhibits the movement of amino acids heading towards the peptide chain. This process causes disruption of protein biosynthesis.

Due to its chemical composition and structure, the substance is highly effective against most varieties of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, as well as strains resistant to streptomycin, penicillin, sulfonamides, and tetracyclines.

The destructive effect also applies to such harmful bacteria: chlamydia, spirochetes, staphylococci, streptococci, neisseria, salmonella, shigella and others; the possibility of their reproduction in those areas treated with the drug is blocked. Thus, skin problems are eliminated.

The antibiotic quite strongly affects pathogenic microorganisms, which subsequently turn out to be vulnerable, and over a long period they form immunity to the active substance. That is, microorganisms slowly develop resistance. When the ointment is used externally, absorption is minimal and insignificant.

Description of the drug

The basis of the antibacterial agent is synthomycin (chloramphenicol), a powerful antibiotic that destroys most pathogens that provoke purulent-inflammatory lesions of the skin.
The action of syntomycin is to disrupt the processes of protein biosynthesis, destroy plasma membranes, without which the reproduction and growth of bacterial microflora is impossible. Some viruses are also at risk. The advantage of the product is that even with prolonged use, pathogenic microorganisms do not develop addiction to the main active ingredient. Thanks to this, synthomycin liniment can be used for a long time without fear that its effectiveness will decrease.

The second chemical agent in the syntomycin ointment is castor oil. Castor beans contain fat in their seeds, which has an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect, which only enhances the overall healing effect. With its help, the skin is moisturized, gets rid of acne, and becomes lighter and cleaner.

Subject to therapeutic doses, syntomycin ointment is not toxic, but in any case it is a medicine, not a cosmetic product, so its prescription can only be trusted by a specialist who knows what the drug helps with, how to take into account the individual characteristics of each patient, and the existing contraindications for restoring the structure and functions of the skin.

In pharmacies you can find syntomycin liniment with different mass fractions of the active component: 1, 5 and 10%. The latter option treats acne and pimples better than others.

Syntomycin ointment is a white, odorless emulsion. Absorbs quickly, leaving virtually no oily traces. It is packaged in tubes made of aluminum. The weight of the product is indicated on the cardboard packaging - 25 g. You can buy liniment without a prescription, paying about 40 rubles for it.

Side effects

It is important to take precautions when using a bacteriostatic drug, having first studied the instructions included with the ointment.

• diseases of the female pelvic organs caused by a fungus;
• It is prohibited to use the product in girls (who are not sexually active).
• Pregnancy, and, accordingly, the period of natural feeding;
• newborn babies under 4 weeks of age.

Syntomycin ointment does not have the property of osmotic activity, since it is based on an oily substance, so the use of the product in the first wound phase is inappropriate. Liniment is used with extreme caution in children aged 4 weeks to 3 years.

It is prohibited to prescribe Syntomycin ointment if it is known that the patient has a history of allergy to the active components of the drug. In particular, regarding chloramphenicol. Strict monitoring is also required if it is necessary to use an antibiotic in patients who have undergone radiation treatment or cytostatic therapy.

Possible consequences of taking liniment:

1. Allergic skin reaction (local).
2. Edema, in particular angioedema.
3. Disruption of the hematopoietic organs.
4. Itchy, dry or red skin.

Possible consequences of using suppositories:

1. Dermatitis.
2. Change (deviation from the norm) of microflora.
3. Dysbacteriosis.
4. Dyspepsia.
5. Secondary fungal infection.
6. Itching, pain, irritation.
7. Burning when urinating (increased frequency of urination).
8. Hyperemia of the genital mucosa.

In the case when the applied ointment covers large areas of the skin surface, it is necessary to avoid the simultaneous use of ethanol (contained in alcoholic drinks), as there is a high probability of developing a disulfiram-like reaction:

• hyperemia of the skin surface;
• nausea and vomiting;
• involuntary coughing attacks;
• sudden cramp;
• tachycardia and other dysfunctions.

If you observe the manifestations of the described symptoms from taking the drug, the patient should immediately inform the treating specialist and stop using the drug.

Syntomycin ointment is a safe drug, the basis of which is an antibiotic that resists most pathogenic bacteria.

The probability of occurrence of signs of exceeding the norm is minimal, if not exceptional:

1. If the prescribed regimen, method of use and amount of syntomycin are observed, situations with an exaggerated dosage of the drug have not been found.
2. After exceeding the prescribed dose, side effects associated with incorrect or contraindicated use of liniment are possible. Among these effects are various types of allergic reactions of the body: skin rashes and swelling (angioneurotic). The likelihood of suppression of hematopoiesis, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, aplastic anemia and others also increases.
3. Overdose episodes associated with the use of suppositories with syntomycin in excess of the prescribed dose, similar to ointments, were not found.

Synthomycin liniment should not be used:

• Pregnant women;
• When breastfeeding;
• Children under 2 years old;
• If blood flow is disrupted;
• For eczema;
• People suffering from kidney pathologies;
• For skin lesions due to fungal infections;
• In case of individual intolerance to the elements present in the ointment composition.

Side effects include:

• Allergic reaction;
• Rash on the skin;
• Repeated fungal infection of the skin layers;
• Diarrhea;
• gag reflexes;
• Hematomas (subcutaneous);
• Opening of bleeding.

To avoid side effects, check the susceptibility of the microflora to the components of the drug.

Syntomycin liniment has certain contraindications, which must be observed. Violation of restrictions on the use of ointment can easily cause serious complications.

It is strictly forbidden to apply the drug when patients have:

• eczema;
• individual intolerance to the drug;
• renal failure in chronic or acute form;
• disturbances in hematopoietic processes;
• anemia of any degree;
• psoriasis;
• acute porphyria;
• mycoses;
• thrombocytopenia;
• leukopenia;
• pregnancy period;
• profuse suppuration;
• accumulation of necrotic masses in the wound.

The ointment should not be used for children under 2 years of age. Being an antibiotic, liniment can harm an actively developing organism.

The ointment should not be used over large areas, as this will cause an overdose of the drug, which is manifested by the following symptoms:

• severe weakness;
• nausea to the point of vomiting;
• headaches of varying intensity;
• diarrhea;
• decreased body temperature;
• development of bleeding, internal and external;
• bloating;
• intense skin itching.

If such manifestations occur, you must immediately stop using the medicine and seek medical help. Therapy is symptomatic. In most cases, the patient does not require hospitalization and all treatment can be performed on an outpatient basis. In the future, when using syntomycin, it is possible to develop an allergy to it against the background of an overdose.

Synthomycin liniment, when used correctly in accordance with the instructions, usually does not cause negative side effects. Because of this, therapy using the drug is not associated with unpleasant consequences.

In rare isolated cases, a short-term burning sensation at the site of application and itching may occur. Normally, they should go away within 20-30 minutes after they occur. If this does not happen, then there is an individual intolerance to the composition. In such a situation, it is recommended to urgently stop using the ointment and consult a doctor to select a replacement product.

When using liniment in gynecology, dry mucous membranes and burning may occur as a side effect. These unpleasant phenomena disappear within a few days after the application of the ointment is stopped. If they persist, you should visit a doctor and undergo a course of therapy, since pathological disorders may be a fungal infection that developed during the use of an antibiotic due to a decrease in local immunity.

Interaction with other drugs

A specialist can select a medicine that ensures recovery from a dangerous and serious disease for a man - balanoposthitis. Diagnostics involves carrying out manipulations:

• visual inspection by a specialist;
• blood chemistry;
• urine culture for flora;
• blood sugar test;
• STI testing;
• smear on flora from the urethra.

If you suspect the presence of balanoposthitis, you should consult a doctor. You should not select a medicine and use it without a prescription. These actions can cause a deterioration in health and provoke the disease to become chronic.

The optimal drug in the form of an ointment will be prescribed after identifying the type of causative agent of the pathological process. If the causative agent is bacteria, then it is advisable to use antibacterial compounds in combination with anti-inflammatory drugs.

Combination with other drugs

Studies of reviews from ointment consumers have shown that the combined use of chloramphenicol and antibiotics of other groups weakens their effect and reduces antibacterial effectiveness.

Therefore, combined use is not recommended with the following types of medications:

1. Erythromycins.
2. Cephalosporins.
3. Clindamycins.
4. Penicillins.
5. Lincomycins.

Parallel use of barbiturates with chloramphenicol can accelerate biotransformation and reduce concentrations, as well as reduce the result.

The use of synthomycin is incompatible with the following substances:

1. Sulfanilamide.
2. Diphenyl.
3. Cytostatic drugs.
4. Barbiturates.
5. Pyrazolone and its derivatives.

Medicines that reduce the effect of liniment: nystatin, erythromycin, levorin, and drugs based on them.

Use in pediatrics

The effect of the drug may have a negative effect when treating children under 1 year of age, since during therapy they may experience side effects such as:

• vomit;
• nausea;
• diarrhea;
• bloating.

Children from 1 to 3 years of age can use the medicine with caution only after prescription by a pediatrician and in a concentration of no more than 5%.

For children over 3 years of age, the drug is prescribed for burns, but caution must also be exercised.

Before treating the skin, the affected area is cleaned with Furacilin solution. Treatment should last no more than a week.

Possible side effects include:

• allergic reactions on the skin: rash, swelling, urticaria, dermatitis;
• disorders of the central and peripheral nervous system.

An overdose of the drug can provoke increased allergic reactions and cause anaphylactic shock. If negative manifestations occur after using the product, you should stop treatment and immediately contact your pediatrician.

Use for skin diseases

The universal ointment can overcome about forty different diseases. It is used to treat non-purulent wounds that are in the healing stage. Let's look at the most common skin diseases for which it is prescribed.

The product is actively used for diseases of the subcutaneous mite - demodicosis. The mite penetrates the skin layers and feeds on subcutaneous fat deposits.

The ointment is applied to the affected areas of the body, blocks the access of air, preventing the tick from feeding. Due to the antibiotic substances contained in the ointment, skin wounds quickly heal and dry out.

For herpes zoster (a viral disease), the drug synthomycin must be applied. Its antimicrobial elements will prevent re-infection in areas where viral blisters have formed. The drug is prescribed by doctors for furunculosis. After removing the boil, the ointment is applied to a gauze bandage and applied to the affected areas of the skin. Rubbing the drug in is not recommended.

Young children and older people often experience impetigo. Damage to the skin layers occurs as a result of non-compliance with simple rules of personal hygiene.

Initially, diseased areas are treated with a weak antiseptic solution. A bandage or gauze with ointment is applied. The course of treatment is at least 10 days.

Sintomycin actively fights acne. Initially, you will need to cleanse the skin with soap and warm water. Pat your face dry and apply the product onto each pimple using a precise motion.

Apply lubrication over the entire affected surface (even if the rash occupies a large part). If the wounds are open, do not use the ointment.

For the best effect and absence of addiction, alternate the ointment with other creams or medications. Before using the medication, read the instructions and follow all rules and dosages.

The emulsion contains a powerful antibiotic. It is important to use it correctly so as not to disturb the hydrolipid balance of the skin layers. Dry skin, increased sensitivity and other serious problems may result.

Contraindications

If syntomycin ointment worked only on chloramphenicol, it would have fewer contraindications. However, the presence of castor oil in the composition makes its use unacceptable on wounds (as well as burn areas, etc.) where pus is present, there is copious discharge of ichor or tissue necrosis. In addition, in the presence of pain and hyperemia, it is also not used.

Doctors also remind that synthomycin ointment is not recommended:

• with liver failure;
• in case of disruption of the process of hematopoiesis through the bone marrow;
• infants up to 4 months;
• pregnant women;
• persons with skin diseases;
• with porphyria.

If you have recently been treated with antibiotics (especially cystostatics), or irradiated, you need to wait a certain period before starting to use syntomycin ointment: usually 3-7 days, but the exact figure should be discussed with your doctor. In children under 7 years of age, it is advisable to use this drug under the supervision of a pediatrician, even if the course is short.

Prescription for pathologies of ENT organs

For various ENT pathologies, doctors use ointment with syntomycin. Let's take a closer look at the disease and treatment.

Boils near the nose occur as a result of injuries that the patient inflicts independently (with a finger). In particular, such pathologies can be observed in people who are prone to furunculosis. The boil causes severe pain, radiating to the temples, teeth and eyes.

The skin on the tip of the nose swells and becomes tense. Sometimes there is an increase in body temperature.

There is no need to remove boils yourself to prevent the spread of infections through the vessels into the cranial cavity.

Furunculosis is treated with syntomycin 10% ointment, which is placed in the nose using a gauze turunda previously moistened in a solution of drilling fluid. Use the drug 4-5 times a day.

With frontal sinuses, the frontal sinuses become inflamed. Only a specialist can make an accurate diagnosis. He inspects and punctures the upper sinus with a needle to determine the degree of darkening and the nature of the component.

Treatment is carried out using drops, powders and synthomycin liniment. After rinsing the sinuses, effective antibiotics are administered. Then the gauze is twisted into a thin strip, onto which synthomycin emulsion is applied. The composition is placed in the nose for 15 minutes. The course of treatment is 20 days.

If the presented procedure does not bring visible results, then surgical intervention may be required.

As a result of a prolonged runny nose, complicated by influenza, or measles, sinusitis can develop. Sometimes its appearance is provoked by diseased roots of the last upper teeth.

The doctor prescribes treatment using synthomycin. The drug helps to narrow the vessels of the nose, reduce swelling of the mucous membrane, and ease the airways.

The ointment is applied to the nasal mucosa in the form of small tampons. Carry out the procedure no more than 3 times a day, for seven days.

Reviews

Vladimir, 42 years old:

I work at a construction site. While working with fire, I received a 2nd degree burn to a small area of ​​skin. For the treatment of thermal injury, it was recommended to use Syntomycin ointment. The burning sensation and discomfort disappeared after 2-3 treatments.

No side effects were observed, fortunately there were no allergies to the components of the composition. A week later, a barely noticeable stain remained from the burn.

Valentina, 38 years old:

Sintomycin ointment is available both at the dacha and in the city apartment. We treat any skin damage or burns with this remedy, applying it twice a day to the area. If I have to start working after the procedure, I apply a bandage. It’s good that this factor does not affect the effectiveness of the medicine and its safety.

Elena Nikolaevna, 46 years old:

For more than two years after receiving the injury, she could not completely eliminate the focal inflammation characteristic of a trophic ulcer. Only after using Syntomycin liniment was it possible to get rid of the ulcers.

However, after therapy, dark red spots remained at the location of the lesions. The doctor advised periodically using the ointment to lighten the skin and prevent relapse.

Treatment of eye inflammation with ointment

Syntomycin is actively used for eye diseases that are associated with inflammatory processes of the mucous membranes. Let's consider common forms of diseases and their treatment with synthomycin emulsion.

When acute conjunctivitis occurs, the patient feels a burning, itching sensation in the eye area. The mucous membrane of the eyelids turns red and tears are released regularly. When waking up in the morning, it is difficult to open your eyes because of the pus that sticks your eyelashes together.

The disease occurs as a result of dust getting into the eyes, cooling or overheating, or swimming in an unclean river.

To make the correct treatment, it is necessary to regularly wash the eyeball and remove purulent formations. For this, boric acid (2%) and furatsilin are used.

If conjunctivitis is caused by coccal flora, then antibiotics should be used: albucid (30%), tetracycline (1%), tetramycin (1%). These products are used during the daytime. For the best effect and quick recovery, you need to put synthomycin emulsion (1%) behind your eyelids before going to bed.

The ointment composition of syntomycin in the inflammatory process of the eyes should not be applied to a gauze bandage and applied to the sore spot. The bandage will limit the blinking movements of the eyelids.

The eyelids may become inflamed with blepharitis. The disease can be triggered by mechanical damage (wounds and bruises), chemical and thermal effects, invasive and infectious diseases, and vitamin deficiency.

The disease can manifest itself in 2 forms:

1. Superficial blepharitis manifests itself in the form of inflammation of only the skin areas of the eyelids.
2. Deep blepharitis affects the skin, subcutaneous tissue and other tissue layers.

To cure blepharitis, a diet containing vitamins and minerals is initially prescribed. For superficial blepharitis, eyelid massage with antibiotic and antiseptic drugs is necessary.

Synthomycin emulsion (1%) is prescribed, which is applied in small quantities to the surface and eyelids, slowly rubbing in. As a result, the crusty scales will be soft and easily removed, and the sores will be set on fire. Stimulating therapy is carried out.

In the process of deep blepharitis, warm compresses with synthomycin ointment are applied, and novocaine is administered. As the wounds begin to mature and heal, the doctor will prescribe a procedure to hide the abscesses.

Using 10% burn treatment

We will separately consider the treatment of burns with synthomycin. Here a 10% drug will be more effective. It is usually prescribed at the 3rd stage of the lesion, but can also be used at the 2nd stage.

With localized burns, the entire layer of the epidermis is damaged, right down to the germ layer. Liniment will help protect tissues from penetration of bacteria and infections.

Under the influence of the ointment, necrotic areas of the skin soften well and are easier to remove. This will prevent the formation of scars during the healing process, and make the scars barely noticeable.

Synthomycin ointment is applied to the burned areas of the body in the form of gauze bandages. They must be changed daily. This work must be performed by a surgeon under completely sterile conditions.

Analogs of Syntomycin ointment

Synthomycin liniment analogues are also antibiotic ointments. The main ones are levomekol and levoin. They have certain contraindications that must be taken into account when replacing the product.

Synthomycin liniment is an excellent medicine that should be in every medicine cabinet. This drug allows you to cope with most household injuries and bacterial skin lesions.

There is no analogue of Syntomycin ointment in terms of chemical composition. Regarding the pharmacological analogy, you can choose any other ointment, the action of which is based on a specifically active antibiotic or which, due to its components, has antimicrobial activity.

For healing and treatment, for example, the famous almost universal Vishnevsky ointment is suitable. In other words, balsamic liniment, 30 g and 40 g, the estimated cost of the drug at Moscow wholesale prices is 60 rubles.

An analogue of Syntomycin, having an identical substance in the composition - chloramphenicol, is Levomycetin - a medicine produced in the forms:

• tablets 500 mg, placed in a plate of 10 pieces, the cost in Moscow is around 110 rubles. 20 pcs., containing a similar concentration of the active compound, at a price of 80 - 90 rubles;
• eye drops, in volumes of 10 ml and 5 ml, 0.25% at a price of 10 rubles per 1 container. In bottles of 1% and 3%, 25 ml - from 35 - 45 rubles;
• alcohol solution, 1% and 3% is applied externally, volume 25 ml, costing about 60 rubles.

Patients prescribed Syntomycin ointment should refrain from increased physical activity during the treatment period. And as the instructions for use of the drug prescribe, beware of types of activities that require concentration and high reaction speed (motor and mental).

In addition to the presented drug, you can find several similar products in the pharmacy, they differ in price and release form. For example, similar in composition are:

• D,L-Chloramphenicol;
• Suppositories with syntomycin vaginal;
• Synthomycin liniment.

According to the pharmacological group, the following analogues of syntomycin ointment can be noted:

• Levomekol;
• Intrasan;
• Levomycetin;
• Fluimucil;
• Iruksol;
• Levovinisole;
• Fastin 1.

Pimples and acne

The ointment can be used in the presence of acne, from which it eliminates with high efficiency. Doctors advise using ointment if a person does not use other means. It is applied in different ways, depending on the intensity of the rash.

In the absence of severe inflammation and the presence of profuse acne, it is recommended to apply a thin layer of 1% liniment. The procedure is carried out in the morning and evening. Do not smear the area around the eyes. If the ointment is not completely absorbed, then wash off the excess with warm boiled water. But this must be done 1 hour after application.

When a person suffers from severely inflamed acne, a 10% concentration of synthomycin liniment will help. It is applied directly to each pimple in the morning and evening. Treatment must be continued until the acne completely disappears - approximately 5 days.

If the surface of the skin is covered with numerous inflamed nodes, then apply a thick layer of 5% product in the form of a mask. The procedure is carried out once a day for 30 minutes. There is no need to do it more often, as there is a danger of overdose. Wash off with warm boiled water.

If there are only a few pimples, then the ointment is applied pointwise, to each pimple separately. If a large part of the facial skin is covered with acne, the ointment is applied in a continuous layer. For treatment, it is enough to smear your face with ointment 2 times a day (morning and evening).

For extensive rashes, make a mask of synthomycin, zinc and ichthyol ointment. The components are mixed in equal parts and applied to the face for 10-15, sometimes 20 minutes. After which it is washed off with water. This cosmetic procedure can get rid of severe acne in 10 days.

The use of syntomycin ointment for acne on the face in adolescents allows you to survive age-related rashes and do without their extensive manifestation on the face, neck, and neighboring areas of the skin.

And one more thing: synthomycin has a whitening effect. Therefore, it is added to facial skin whitening formulations. They also use synthomycin ointment for age spots.

Indications and contraindications for therapy

The decision on the advisability of using a fairly powerful antibiotic should be made by a doctor who has a clear understanding of the characteristics of a particular case. A big mistake is to use Synthomycin before visiting a doctor. The drug is not indicated for all cases of hemorrhoids, and its inclusion in the treatment regimen unnecessarily can cause side effects or additional discomfort.

Sintomycin ointment and suppositories perform best in the following conditions:

1. The presence of cracks on the surface of the anus. The degree of their expression and depth do not play any role.
2. Bleeding hemorrhoids. In this case, you should not wait until signs of tissue infection appear. It is better to resort to using the product as a prevention of infection, the risk of which is very high even with strict adherence to the rules for caring for the wound surface.
3. Severe pain and swelling of the mucous membrane. Practice shows that Syntomycin ointment and suppositories cope with these symptoms much better than many other topical drugs. It is noteworthy that the desired result, to one degree or another, is noted after the first manipulation.
4. Severe inflammatory process, which is accompanied by severe discomfort or inability to empty the intestines.

DETAILS: Troxevasin and Troxerutin: what is the difference, how do the drugs differ and which is better?

Instructions for use of Syntomycin suppositories and ointments indicate the presence of a number of contraindications to specialized therapy. Manipulations are prohibited if the functionality of the liver or kidneys is reduced, the presence of malignant tumors in a given area, blood clotting disorders, or allergies to the components of dosage forms.

The question of the relevance of therapy during pregnancy or lactation should be decided by a specialist, but usually this treatment option is not used for these physiological conditions.

Burns

Syntomycin ointment is used for burns of various sizes and degrees. For large burn surfaces, synthomycin is applied to the surface without waiting for redness, inflammation, or pus to appear.

The use of synthomycin allows for the timely removal of necrotic tissue, the retention of which in the wound causes the formation of scars. As a result, it affects the epithelization of the wound without the formation of scars.

The main indications for syntomycin ointment are burns. In this case, a 10% concentration is used, but complex treatment is necessary. Ointment alone will not cure them. It shows its effectiveness if the germinal layer of the dermis is not affected; if it is destroyed, treatment with liniment is not carried out.

The use of synthomycin liniment for 2nd and 3rd degree burns will help protect against the development of:

• bacterial infection;
• formation of large scars;
• purulent complications.

This ointment is applied to the limbs and body. If the face is burned, then only the emulsion is used. Burns are treated as follows. A sterile gauze bandage should be soaked in the product and applied to the affected area. It should be changed once a day. If a person experiences itching and pain under the bandage, then a fresh one can be applied, but this is if the treated area is small. Large areas should not be treated with ointment several times a day. Treatment is required until complete healing occurs.

Important Tips and Precautions

There are several simple recommendations that will make the use of the drug safe for a child.

• Do not exceed the therapeutic dosage prescribed by the doctor or arbitrarily extend the course of therapy without prior consultation.
• The course of treatment must be completed in its entirety, without interruptions.
  Otherwise, the bacteria that provoked the development of the disease may become resistant - and this is fraught with complicated relapses.
• Do not use the drug at a concentration of 10%.

With the help of Synthomycin ointment, an effective and affordable bactericidal agent, many skin diseases can be cured.

But when using it in childhood, extreme caution must be exercised: strictly adhere to the dosage prescribed by the pediatrician and avoid long-term use.

Feasibility of application

The fact of counteracting bacterial infections is especially valuable and important.

Since the use of the product allows not only to prevent damage, but also to eliminate this problem:

1. Syntomycin suppositories are used for medicinal purposes in organs located in the pelvis against infections caused by bacteria. In cases with hemorrhoids, the greatest effect is achieved with the development of stage 1 or 2 of the disease.
2. For preventive purposes to prevent infectious and inflammatory diseases.
3. You should take one at a time, but your doctor may recommend taking more than one.

Syntomycin suppositories have anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, it is advisable to use them to treat the inflammatory process of the veins. They relieve inflammation and have an analgesic effect. Usually the result is noticeable after 4 – 5 days. If relief does not occur, you need to find out the reason and possibly replace it.

If suppositories are used when bleeding occurs, then it is initially necessary to find out whether the bleeding is a result of the appearance of tumor formations in the rectum.

Syntomycin for acne: reviews

But you shouldn’t form an opinion about this product based solely on our review. It is worth reading the responses of people who have already used the drug, received a certain effect and are ready to share their opinion. Therefore, now we will provide several detailed reviews of Synthomycin for acne.

I didn’t quite understand the general craziness about this ointment. After reading about it on the Internet, on various doctor forums, I was simply horrified. It is used to treat terrible diseases for which nothing else can help. What makes you think that it is worth treating ordinary pimples with this? Try something lighter - the same salicylic ointment, medicinal cosmetics... How can you apply it to your face? Recently I had to treat a boil with it. So: after use, the skin began to peel and turn red. And this is the skin of the back! What would happen to the face... I would probably recommend it for purulent wounds and ulcers, but definitely not for acne!

Elena, 2 weeks of use

I heard about terrible side effects and “such a scary ingredient.” But this was after I had been using Syntomycin ointment for a week already. Because of what I read, I even stopped using it for a while. But, to be honest, I didn’t notice any of this. I applied the product directly to my face, in a very thin layer, and went to bed. I did this three times a week. And the acne, which had been there for 20 years, and which could not be removed simply by anything, began to gradually lighten. Now only traces of old pimples remain. I definitely recommend it, but not for dry skin. Really, read more about it, find out what and how. But as I understand it, the ointment is not suitable for everyone.

Synthomycin ointment – ​​emulsion (liniment)

Syntomycin ointment, in fact, is not an ointment. This name is erroneous; in fact, the drug is a liniment, a mixture of oil, liquid and emulsifiers.

Liniment differs from ointment in the composition of the base. Typically, the ointment contains 95-99% petroleum jelly and is a very greasy substance. Liniment contains oil diluted with water with the addition of chemical components.

Since many people are accustomed to calling this drug an ointment, we will also maintain the tradition and not violate generally accepted terminology.

Haemorrhoids

Local application of a topical antibiotic is used as an adjunct to primary therapy. For a complete cure, general therapy is necessary - establishing venous blood flow, eliminating congestion in the veins of the rectum.

Only a doctor can prescribe treatment for hemorrhoids with syntomycin liniment. After washing, external cones must be treated in the morning and evening. The ointment will help relieve unpleasant symptoms. To treat the lumps inside, you need to soak a gauze pad and insert it at night before bed. Before this, it is necessary to cleanse the intestines. In the morning during bowel movements, the tampon will come out on its own.

Storage period and conditions

The composition retains its pharmacological properties for two years from the date of production.

The active substance does not change its chemical formula when kept in a favorable environment:

• humidity level – average;
• lack of sunlight;
• temperature range – from 5 to 25 degrees.

Any pharmacological products must be inaccessible to animals and children to avoid poisoning.

Properties of the drug and effect on the child’s body

Syntomycin has a structure and properties similar to Levomycetin. This is due to its inherent antibacterial and antiviral properties. The component is effective even in cases where penicillin is powerless in the fight against microorganisms.

The minimum percentage of novocaine in the ointment provides an analgesic effect.

And castor oil simultaneously performs several useful functions:

• eliminates dangerous bacteria;
• eliminates redness and inflammation of affected skin areas;
• makes the skin softer and more elastic;
• prevents peeling of the skin surface.
