Levomekol or Vishnevsky ointment - which is better?

The basis of Vishnevsky's ointment is xeroform , birch tar and castor oil . Levomekol has a local anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effect , the use of Vishnevsky ointment gives local irritant and antiseptic effects .

Levomekol is prescribed mainly for the treatment of severely inflamed, festering, infected wounds (in the wound inflammation phase). Vishnevsky ointment , according to Wikipedia, is used mainly in the regeneration phase of the wound process: balsamic liniment stimulates tissue repair and granulation in a regenerating wound.

Liniment is contraindicated in cases of unsanitized purulent processes ( felon , boil , carbuncle , etc.), however, use in these cases makes it possible to speed up the abscess and cleaning of the wound in the future.

contained in Vishnevsky's ointment penetrates the skin in concentrations insufficient for a bactericidal effect . Tar and castor oil stimulate local blood circulation in the suppurating area and inflammation. The course of the pathological process is aggravated by increased pain, expansion of the purulent cavity and accumulation of exudate.

Vishnevsky ointment is hydrophobic, therefore its use for the treatment of purulent wounds does not allow for normal outflow of wound secretions, and its antimicrobial component is not released and does not have the necessary effect.

Levomekol is a hydrophilic, water-soluble substance. The antibiotic it contains easily transfers from the ointment to the wound. The osmotic activity of the drug is 10-15 times higher than the effect of a hypertonic solution and lasts from 20 to 24 hours. In this regard, for an effective effect on the wound surface, 1 dressing per day is sufficient.

What to choose, Ichthyol ointment or Levomekol?

Ichthyol ointment has keratoplasty , antiseptic , anti-inflammatory and local anesthetic effects .

The product regulates vascular tone and has a beneficial effect on inflamed skin and subcutaneous layers. Indications for the use of “ichthyolka” are skin diseases, arthritis and neuralgia .

Thus, the drugs have different indications for use, which makes their comparison incorrect.

How to use

The drug Levomekol is intended for external use. Let's look at how to use the ointment correctly to get an effective result.

1. The ointment is applied in a thin layer to the affected area of ​​the skin, then it is tightly covered with a sterile bandage folded in several layers and fixed . This procedure should be carried out 1 - 2 times a day until the wound is cleared of pus. If the wipes become dirty faster, they should be changed more often (as they become saturated with pus or accumulate necrotic contents). The duration of treatment is 5 - 10 days.
2. If the wound affected by pus is large, deep or located in the body cavity, then Levomekol is first applied to gauze napkins that are placed in the wound. Before use, the ointment should be heated to body temperature, then soak gauze pads with the product and insert them into the wound cavity . The number of napkins is determined individually; they should completely fill the wound, but should not be placed tightly.
3. For a deep but narrow wound, as well as in cases where its shape and location do not make it possible to insert drug-impregnated wipes, Levomekol is administered with a syringe through a catheter.
4. If treatment of the wound surface was missed for any reason, subsequent dressings must be carried out without deviating from the schedule .
5. Is it possible to apply Levomekol to bedsores? The drug copes well with bedsores in bedridden patients. To do this, the affected areas should be lubricated several times a day. The ointment is also suitable for the prevention of bedsores. In this case, the skin is treated with medication 1 - 2 times a day.
6. The ointment is also used to treat cuts, lacerated or puncture wounds, weeping eczema, torn calluses, and purulent pimples. The principle of treatment is the same as in the cases described above. Purulent pimples are lubricated with a thin layer of the drug at night, and after opening them, the ointment should be placed in the depression formed in the skin. It is also better to perform the procedure at night.

Important! During treatment with the drug Levomekol, you should not use any other external drugs. If the ointment gets on the mucous membranes, including the eyes, they should be immediately rinsed with plenty of clean water.
