Methyluracil instructions
The main component of this drug is Methyluracil.
It activates metabolic reactions aimed at repair and tissue renewal. It also stimulates metabolism in damaged tissues. Methyluracil activates the cellular and humoral branches of immunity. Methyluracil has a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect.
Methyluracil ointment is an immunomodulator
Methyluracil is an immunomodulator. By influencing the tissue and cellular components of the immune system and activating them, it triggers the synthesis of active substances.
They, in turn, promote the healing of any wounds. At the same time, restoration and repair are stimulated in all systems. The maturation of red blood cells and their release into the bloodstream accelerates.
Due to the fact that Methyluracil activates repair reactions in the cell, the production of significant excess protein is stimulated. The growth and development of muscle mass is stimulated. In view of this, Methyluracil is classified as an anabolic drug.
Despite all its active effects, Methyluracil does not affect healthy tissue and does not neutralize marginal wound regeneration.
Thanks to the ointment composition, Methyluracil remains on the surface, practically not being absorbed into the general bloodstream.
Contraindications
- hypersensitivity to ointment components
- leukemic form of leukemia, myeloid in particular
- lymphogranulomatosis
- hemoblastosis
- malignant neoplasms of bone marrow
- children under 3 years old
The drug is not recommended for use in the treatment of children under 3 years of age due to the lack of sufficient experience in its use in pediatric practice.
Side effects
- skin irritation
- itching
- additional redness at the application site
- rash
- dermatitis
- peeling
In this case, the use of the drug is stopped and it is recommended to consult a doctor. As a rule, negative manifestations disappear immediately after stopping use.
Overdose with topical use is extremely rare. However, if the wounded surface is extensive and the ointment is used for a long time, then it is possible that the components of the ointment enter the systemic bloodstream. Then a moderate headache and hypersensitivity cannot be ruled out.
Thus, Methyluracil ointment has an immune-modeling, anti-inflammatory, wound-healing, photoprotective, anabolic and reparative effect.
Methyluracil for prostatitis
Methyluracil suppositories are good for relieving inflammation in prostatitis. In addition, the drug helps improve immune strength and stimulates cell restoration.
The drug is prescribed to patients regardless of the severity of the disease:
- If the disease is in the acute stage, the medicine will quickly relieve inflammation. But due to the fact that Methyluracil does not have an antibacterial effect, it must be used in combination with other drugs.
- For the treatment of chronic prostatitis, the ability of the drug to have an anti-inflammatory and regenerative effect is of great importance. "Methyluracil" promotes rapid recovery of affected cells and minimizes the possibility of relapse.
Also, thanks to the use of the drug, local immunity increases and the period of remission increases.
- Suppositories are used in the postoperative period in the treatment of calculous prostatitis. With the help of the drug, damaged prostate tissue is restored and the functioning of the organ returns to normal.
After the drug enters the body, the active substance is rapidly absorbed through the intestinal walls and spreads to surrounding tissues.
The result of these processes is the elimination of inflammation, pain relief, and increased appetite. And, what is very important, during treatment the functions of blood vessels are restored, as a result of which bleeding stops.
The urologist, based on the stage of the disease and the depth of symptoms, must correctly calculate the dosage of the drug. In particularly severe situations, the patient will need to use a fairly large number of suppositories per day - up to 4 pieces. To relieve severe inflammation, you will need to administer two suppositories at the same time.
The course of treatment for prostatitis will be from 7 to 14 days. As soon as the treatment is completed, it is necessary to visit the doctor so that he can verify the effectiveness of the therapy.

Composition of methyluracil ointment
Methyluracil ointment is produced by pharmaceutical factories in the post-Soviet space. The basis of the ointment is Vaseline (or paraffin, lanolin). These formative substances do not have any medicinal effect. Some manufacturers add alcohols and macrogol to the ointment. Allergy sufferers need to know the list of additional substances, because they are the ones that cause allergic redness and rash.
The main active ingredient of the ointment is methyluracil. It enhances tissue regeneration, treats inflammation and stimulates the production of immune bodies. Methyluracil is not a hormone
. Therefore, the question whether methyluracil ointment is hormonal or not is posed incorrectly. The composition is not hormonal and is not addictive like other drugs with hormones.
The ointment is available in tubes of 25 g ( Russian Nizhpharm
), or 15 and 30 g each (
Ukrainian manufacturer Darnitsa
). The amount of methyluracil in the ointment is 10% (1 g of ointment contains 100 mg of the active ingredient). Methyluracil ointment 10% is the only option produced by the pharmaceutical industry. There is no 1% methyluracil ointment and the question is incorrect: where is 5% methyluracil ointment used? The color of the ointment may vary (depending on the set of formative components and preservatives). From different manufacturers it may be white or light yellow, but this does not affect the medicinal properties of the drug.
Composition of the drug
Tablets of the drug
Methyluracil has a simple composition - it contains only one active ingredient called dioxomethyltetrahydropyrimidine. It has a stimulating effect on leukocytes, helping their production. Other properties of the substance can calm the inflammatory process that has begun in the affected areas.
When the drug is released in tablet form, the dosage is 500 mg. The composition is supplemented by auxiliary elements:
- Talc;
- Calcium stearate;
- Starch;
- Povidone k30.
Rules of application
The key effect of methyluracil is stimulation of tissue repair. It is actively used for all kinds of injuries. The ointment is an external remedy, therefore it is actively used to heal local damage. These include burns, bedsores, and cuts.
To achieve maximum effect, the ointment is applied to the wound and secured with a plaster or bandage. The dressing must be changed periodically. In the absence of infection in the wound and purulent masses, the compress is changed at intervals of 10-12 hours. Purulent lesions are washed more often. In this case, the bandage is changed at intervals of 3-4 hours.
Between changing dressings, the affected area is treated with an antiseptic - chlorhexidine or hydrogen peroxide. Purulent masses and necrotic tissue should be removed from the affected areas. Ointment is applied to the wound and a sterile bandage is applied. Burns, abscesses and wounds that do not heal for a long time should be treated in this way.
The use of methyluracil ointment for burns prevents the penetration of infection and the appearance of purulent masses. Extensive damage to the dermis from a burn poses a danger due to infection. Burns of impressive size often become inflamed, and a purulent crust appears on their surface.
Thanks to the antiseptic properties of the ointment, it is possible to limit pathogenic bacteria’s access to open lesions and prevent infection. In addition, the composition helps to avoid the formation of scars and cicatricial changes after healing.
When dealing with scars, methyluracil ointment should be used at the stage of damage healing. Activation of restoration processes helps to avoid scarring in case of significant burns and severe cuts. If scars have already formed, the ointment will not give noticeable results.
Another type of skin damage is diaper rash. They appear in bedridden patients and cause serious discomfort. Methyluracil ointment helps reduce inflammation, cope with hyperemia and irritation, and eliminate pain.
The medication helps eliminate bruises. The product is especially effective for severe skin lesions. To quickly restore the bruised area, you should treat it with ointment 2-3 times a day.
Methyluracil ointment is administered into the nose to combat a runny nose. It can be used by children over 3 years of age. The antibacterial and antiseptic characteristics of the substance allow it to be used to combat bacterial rhinitis. Therefore, the composition is used when high-density green discharge appears.
The composition can also be used in cosmetology practice. An unexpected effect is the ability of methyluracil to cope with wrinkles. The substance completely eliminates minor skin imperfections. If a woman has deep wrinkles, using ointment helps make them less pronounced.
To cope with this problem, the product is applied to the skin. This should be done in a thin layer. The composition has a fairly thick consistency, so a tube lasts for several days. Results will be visible within 4-5 days. The composition can be used as a day cream.
Treatment of any injuries: regeneration and recovery
The main effect of methyluracil is to accelerate tissue regeneration, which is in demand for any injuries. The ointment is an external preparation, therefore it is used to heal external injuries (wounds, cuts, burns, bedsores).
The greatest treatment effect is obtained if the ointment is applied to the wound for a long time and fixed with a bandage or plaster.
This dressing with methyluracil ointment should be changed periodically. If the wound is not infected and there is no pus, then the bandage is changed after 10-12 hours. Purulent wounds need to be washed more often. For them, the dressings are changed every 3-4 hours.
Between changing dressings, the wound must be treated with an antiseptic (hydrogen peroxide, chlorhexidine). In infected wounds, pus and dead tissue are carefully removed during washing. After that, ointment is applied directly over the wound and covered with a sterile bandage. This is how long-term non-healing wounds, abscesses (suppuration), and burns are treated.
Methyluracil ointment for burns prevents their infection and the formation of pus . Extensive damage to the skin due to a thermal or chemical burn is dangerous due to infection. Large burns often become inflamed and covered with a purulent crust. The antiseptic composition of the ointment allows pathogens to limit access to the open wound and prevent infection. Also, the composition of the ointment helps wounds heal without scars and scars.
Methyluracil ointment for scars is best used at the stage of wound healing. Stimulating regeneration allows you to avoid scars in case of extensive burns and deep cuts . If scars have already formed, the ointment will not be as effective.
Another type of skin injury is diaper rash. They form in bedridden patients and cause discomfort. Methyluracil ointment for diaper rash reduces the area of inflammation, redness, irritation, and relieves pain .
Methyluracil is also used for bruises . Especially with large areas of injury. Large bruises take a long time to resolve on their own. For quick healing, the bruise site is smeared with methyluracil 2-3 times a day.
Note: methyluracil can stimulate the regeneration of any tissue. It can accelerate the healing of bones during fractures, the restoration of muscles and ligaments when they are torn. However, this requires internal administration of the drug – methyluracil tablets. In this version (when taken internally), methyluracil enhances the processes of growth and regeneration throughout the body, and even in brain and blood cells.
Mode of application
In each specific situation, treatment and its duration are adjusted by the attending physician. However, the instructions strictly establish the maximum dosage: no more than 4 pieces per day, but not more than two at a time. The course of treatment is at least 10 days, but not longer than four months.
Despite the fact that Methyluracil suppositories are produced in the form of rectal suppositories, their vaginal use is acceptable in gynecology. But if the doctor prescribes suppositories for girls or young women before the onset of sexual activity, then suppositories are used only by insertion into the rectum.
Before introducing the drug into the vagina, it is necessary to douche using a weak solution of soda or chlorhexidine. You can use decoctions or infusions of herbs: chamomile, string, eucalyptus, calendula. It is recommended to insert suppositories into the vagina to the maximum depth, taking a lying position. After the drug administration procedure, you should lie down for a couple of hours to prevent the substance from leaking out.
Before using the drug, wash your hands and genitals
When administered rectally, before administering the Methyluracil suppository, it is necessary to empty the intestines. This will allow the medicine to work faster.
During “critical days”, the use of Methyluracil vaginally is not advisable, since the active substance will be eliminated from the body before it begins to act. During this period, you can use the medicine rectally.
During treatment, it is recommended to stop sexual relations, which is quite logical. Sexual intercourse can provoke an inflammatory process.

Before using the sponge, it is removed from the special packaging and applied to the wound so that it fits as tightly as possible to the walls and bottom of the wound surface, and its edges extend 1.5 cm beyond the wound.
A fixing bandage is applied on top of the methyluracil sponge. It is recommended to first clean the wound surface, remove necrotic masses and treat with an antiseptic solution. If there is purulent discharge on the wound surface, an additional sponge is moistened in an antiseptic solution (for example, dioxidin, furacillin).
The aerosol is applied to the affected area. The container is shaken 10-15 times before spraying, then the safety cap is removed, a special nozzle is put on the valve stem and smoothly sprayed onto the wound surface.

Analogs
According to numerous reviews, the drug Methyluracil not only copes with its therapeutic function, but is also affordable for patients with different income levels. However, there are many analogue drugs on the market that contain a substance similar to Methyluracil. You should be careful when taking analogue tablets: you should not self-medicate, since the effect of cheaper analogues or tablets with a different dosage of the active substance may be insufficient. There are many analogues of Methyluracil, among them:
- Wilosen;
- Anaferon;
- Immunex;
- Poludan;
- Ribomunil;
- Ruzam;
- Zadaxin;
- Neuroferon and others.
In this case, analogues are drugs that have a similar effect to the main drug. A number of drugs are aimed at enhancing the body's immune response, others have anti-inflammatory effects and antibacterial activity. The choice of analogue will depend on the diagnosis, since it is impossible to carry out an equivalent replacement in all cases. Some of the well-known analogues are significantly more expensive, which makes them unprofitable for replacement.
Main indications for use and contraindications
Methyluracil in the form of “ointment”, based on the instructions for use, is prescribed for the following purposes:
1. For rapid healing of the skin surface in case of fractures, thermal and other burns, photodermatitis, skin ulcers, bedsores, complex cuts, sutures. The daily dosage is up to 10 g of the product, and its consumption is proportional to the number of dressing changes and the scale of treatment. Manufacturers suggest applying methyluracil against injuries on any surface for tissue regeneration in the shortest possible time. Before use for burns and wounds, the area is treated with an antiseptic (chlorhexidine, weak solution of manganese, furatsilin, peroxide 3%) to remove purulent discharge and dead cells. Then the product is applied to the cut, as well as to the adjacent healthy skin, and covered with a sterile bandage. When cleaning the wound and frequently contaminating the bandage, the bandage is changed after a maximum of 4 hours, and if the surface is clean, the procedure is carried out twice a day.
2. To solve proctological problems (details below).
3. For tissue regeneration in radioepithelitis and other gynecological diseases (details below).
4. To prevent bedsores in bedridden patients.
5. For the treatment of diaper rash and diaper dermatitis in infants. In this case, the course of treatment lasts up to 7 days and the maximum daily dose is 0.25 g of the drug.
6. To treat pimples and acne, dermatologists advise cleansing the skin twice a day and applying ointment for 7 days. You can alternate the course weekly (one week for treatment, one week for rest). The medicine is indicated for contact and allergic dermatitis and eczema. Such treatment is prescribed exclusively by a specialist.
7. To rejuvenate the skin and get rid of scars, it is used in cosmetology.
8. To alleviate the consequences of labor. Pregnant women are recommended to lubricate the perineum and vagina twice a day 10 days before the planned date of birth. The skin will become elastic, and childbirth will take place without tearing.

In addition, suppositories are not used in the treatment of children under 3 years of age.
Since the ointment does not have systemic effects, all side effects are also local. At the very beginning of therapy, some patients experience irritation, mild itching, and burning. Typically, such phenomena stop after 2-3 days of therapy. More severe manifestations of “side effects” may mean the development of allergic reactions, but they are rare.
If you have a history or current history of the following diseases, you cannot be treated with Methyluracil ointment:
- acute leukemia;
- myeloid leukemia;
- bone marrow tumors;
- hemoblastoses;
- chronic leukemia;
- lymphogranulomatosis;
- lymphoma.
Do not apply the product if you are prone to excessive granulation - this can cause scarring and hyperkeratosis.
Children under 3 years of age can use the drug only with the approval of a doctor. It is not recommended to apply it over a long course due to the lack of accurate data on tolerability and reactions in children.
Overdose when used externally is almost impossible. It can occur with extensive wounds, burns and too long use of ointment in large volumes. In this case, components may enter the general bloodstream. Side effects may include headache, hematopoiesis disorders, and hypersensitivity.
In what situations is it better not to use methyluracil suppositories in gynecology? Reviews from doctors say that this drug is not used if there is a high sensitivity to its components. If available, suppositories should not be used either rectally or vaginally. Another contraindication is leukemia and leukemia in acute or chronic form.
Description of the drug Methyluracil
The effectiveness of the drug Methyluracil is based on the abilities of its active substance - methyluracil (dioxomethyltetrahydropyrimide), which has the following effects:
- anabolic;
- leukopoietic (restoration of the level of leukocytes in the blood);
- healing;
- anti-inflammatory;
- regenerating;
- immunostimulating.
Methyluracil helps normalize metabolism, improves tissue nutrition, and accelerates cellular processes, including the ripening of the epithelium. When applied topically, Methyluracil has a sunscreen and photoprotective effect.
There are several forms of release of this medicine:
- ointment;
- pills;
- candles;
- bandages and sponges (soaked in ointment);
- powder.
Of all the above types of Methyluracil, doctors often resort to prescribing suppositories to their patients.
The basis is not only the special properties of the drug itself, but also the fact that an important feature of Methyluracil is the absence of an irritating factor when applied topically
The effectiveness of Methyluracil suppositories has been proven in practice
One Methyluracil suppository contains:
- active substance: dioxomethyltetrahydropyramide - 0.5 g;
- auxiliary base for preparing suppositories - up to 2.41 g.
Indications
The drug "Methyluracil" (tablets) is prescribed to patients with chronic and acute radiation sickness. It should also be used for leukopenia, which occurs in a mild form (usually if it is caused by radio- or x-ray chemotherapy) or in patients with alimentary-toxic aleukia. This medication is also prescribed for chronic benzene poisoning, agranulocytic tonsillitis, pancreatitis, and blood loss. These may be cases when various wounds, trophic ulcers, bone fractures, and burns heal very poorly. Those patients who used the drug “Methyluracil” (tablets) for treatment leave only positive reviews. Very often, doctors recommend this medication if the patient has gastrointestinal ulcers or chronic gastritis. Moreover, it is a good prophylactic for radiation injuries, inflammation of the female genital organs, and cystitis.
Instructions for use
- The drug is prescribed exclusively by a doctor. Any attempts at self-medication may lead to a worsening of the condition.
- The maximum effectiveness of therapy is observed when suppositories are combined with other drugs.
- The number of suppositories administered per day depends on the severity of the disease.
- On average, the course of treatment is 8–10 days, in some cases it can be extended to 1 month or more.
- During therapy, the doctor is able to make adjustments to the frequency of use of the medicine based on changes in the patient’s condition.
- Suppositories should not be administered during menstruation, as their effectiveness is reduced to almost zero. Therefore, it is recommended to start treatment a few days after the end of menstruation or use suppositories rectally (only after consulting a gynecologist).
- During therapy, the woman must maintain complete sexual rest.
- Immediately before the procedure, you need to thoroughly wash your hands and douche with antiseptic solutions (Chlorhexidine, Miramistin), decoctions of medicinal herbs with anti-inflammatory properties, or a weak solution of soda.
- The suppository is inserted deep into the vagina. The easiest way to do this is in a lying position, with your knees bent.
- If the doctor advised administering Methyluracil rectally, before the procedure you should cleanse the rectum with an enema.
- In order for the drug to have maximum effect, after its administration you should lie down for another half hour.
- It is recommended to store the medication on the refrigerator door.
Gynecology
Methyluracil ointment is used in gynecology to treat postpartum injuries . The ointment is applied over the external seams and covered with a pad (to prevent it from being absorbed into linen and clothing). To heal tears inside the vagina, you can apply the ointment directly to the inner walls with your finger or insert the ointment on a cotton swab. The duration of treatment is up to 7 days, the ointment is applied daily two (and sometimes three) times a day.
The composition of the ointment is used to prevent labor ruptures . 10 days before the expected date of birth, the ointment is applied to the perineum and inserted with a tampon into the vagina. These simple measures can reduce the risk of birth defects by 60-70% (according to statistics from European countries).
Methyluracil ointment is not used in gynecology for children. Let us remind you that according to the instructions, the age of children who can be treated with methyluracil is limited to 3 years. The child must be over three years old.
There is another pathology for which it is necessary to use an ointment with a regenerating effect. These are the so-called synechiae in girls. Synechia is a partial fusion of the labia minora. This defect forms a small pocket in which secretions accumulate. If pathogenic flora multiplies in the accumulation of secretions, inflammation results.
It can spread to neighboring organs of the genitourinary system. Which will lead to the need for treatment. Therefore, in case of synechia in a girl, it is recommended to separate the fused labia with your fingers and lubricate them with regenerating ointment (methyluracil) . Methyluracil ointment for synechiae allows you to get rid of the physiological defect and prevent inflammation.
Folk remedies
For hemorrhoids during pregnancy, unofficial medicine advises using:
- local baths, lotions with chamomile infusion, oak bark decoction;
- applications with oils that have a wound-healing effect (sea buckthorn, rose hips, olive);
- candles made from butter frozen in the refrigerator.
During pregnancy complicated by hemorrhoids, we recommend paying close attention to the hygiene of the intimate area. After visiting the toilet, rinse the genitals and anal area with warm water and decoctions of medicinal herbs. You need to wipe carefully, blotting. Outside the home, use damp toilet paper soaked in medicinal plant extracts.
Dosage forms of medicines
If you are unable to relieve the problem using home methods, you will have to look for an effective and harmless remedy for hemorrhoids during pregnancy in pharmacies.
To treat fissures and hemorrhoids in the anal area, suppositories, popularly called suppositories, are used. Do not forget about the dosage form of the ointment. Medicines for hemorrhoids are available in the form of suppositories and ointments, the composition of which is identical in terms of active ingredients. They differ in their basis.
Pharmaceutical institutions with a license to manufacture drugs prepare suppositories based on cocoa butter, which has an independent wound-healing effect. Industrially produced candles contain synthetic mixtures as a base.
The composition of ointment bases includes petroleum jelly, lanolin (a product of processing sheep wool coating), petroleum jelly, olive, sunflower and other oils. The ingredients help create effective drugs.
Hemorrhoids are treated with ointments and suppositories. The dosage form of the cream is not used. It has a different base. The main property is absorption into the skin, which is unacceptable. It is impossible to add components that do not dissolve in water into the cream. Suspension ointments are widely used. Ointment for hemorrhoids during pregnancy covers the affected surface of a fissure or hemorrhoid with a greasy film, guaranteeing an additional protective effect.
Effective for a long time. It is enough to apply to the surface of the perianal area twice a day. You can’t rub it so as not to cause additional injury.
Purchasing antihemorrhoidal ointment is important. The ointment should have a tip for insertion into the anus to lubricate the inside of the rectum. The best purchase is a tube of ointment with a flexible tip that does not injure the inner surface of the rectum.
Benefits of antihemorrhoidal ointments
Reasons for the effectiveness of hemorrhoid ointment for pregnant women:
- The use of ointments reduces the single dose of medication. During pregnancy, it is better to reduce the drug burden on the expectant mother’s body by using medications in small doses. At the initial stage, it is enough to anoint hemorrhoids with a small amount of ointment, the size of a pea.
- Ointments are dosed in a flexible form. It is not advisable to divide candles into parts. An opened cell with the remainder of a candle is not used rationally. Dosing the ointment is not difficult; the required amount is squeezed out of the tube.
- Ointments are economical to use. A package of ten candles is designed for a week of use. The cost of packaging is several hundred rubles. When used sparingly and occasionally, the ointment lasts for a longer period.
- The ointment is universal. It is applied to external hemorrhoids and inserted into the rectum with the tip. Suppositories have a weaker effect on external hemorrhoids.
The disadvantage of ointments is insufficient hygiene when used, and greasy stains may appear on linen. To overcome the defect, use a panty liner or apply ointment on a gauze or non-woven cloth.

Pharmaceutical companies are constantly developing new drugs for various diseases. Today they have created drugs not only to combat various infections and inflammations, but also immunomodulatory agents and others. Medicines for the prevention and treatment of radiation sickness are in great demand. Polluted ecology, improper and poor-quality nutrition have contributed to the emergence of new ailments. And with their emergence, pharmacists are developing new methods and methods for treatment. This can be attributed to the drug "Methyluracil". Tablets can be purchased with a doctor's prescription.
Treatment with Methyluracil
Today, the scope of application of Methyluracil has become much wider than that which was assumed during the development of this drug. This is due to the fact that the medicine is highly effective, which has been used for practical use. Let's consider the use of Methyluracil for hemorrhoids and various diseases of the female genital area.
Haemorrhoids
Methyluracil for hemorrhoids has a positive effect, quickly reducing nodes and reducing pain. Suppositories can be used as a means of maximizing tissue healing after operations to remove hemorrhoids. Methyluracil can also be used for the non-surgical treatment of small nodes that often appear in women after childbirth.
For hemorrhoids, Methyluracil can be used in the form of ointment or suppositories. The suppositories are inserted deep into the rectum, and the ointment is applied to the finger, which is used to lubricate the mucous membrane and hemorrhoids. Suppositories are convenient to use when hemorrhoids are localized in the rectum. And ointment is preferable for hemorrhoids that protrude outward. Methyluracil is used for the treatment of hemorrhoids for an average of 7–14 days, depending on the severity of the disease and the speed of recovery.
Before introducing suppositories or applying ointment, it is necessary to empty the intestines. After defecation, wash the perineum and anus area with water and dry with a soft, clean cloth. Insert the suppository deep into the rectum, then lie quietly in bed for 30 minutes. The suppository will melt in the rectum, so a small amount of the contents may leak out.
Methyluracil in
Treatment of mechanical damage to the vagina and cervix (ruptures, sutures, etc.).
and accelerating the restoration of normal tissue structure after gynecological operations (on the uterus, ovaries, tubes, etc.).
In the complex therapy of cervical erosion.
Although Methyluracil suppositories are rectal, they can be safely inserted into the vagina. In practice, doctors have long and successfully used Methyluracil much more widely than stated in the manufacturer’s instructions. This is due to the fact that suppositories were developed for the treatment of certain pathologies (sigmoiditis, proctitis, etc.).
When treating gynecological diseases with Methyluracil suppositories, it is necessary to maintain sexual rest. Suppositories are inserted into the vagina twice a day (morning and evening) to treat cervical erosion, or after cauterization, to speed up the restoration of normal tissue structure. The duration of use is on average 10 – 14 days.
For colpitis, vulvitis, as well as after removal of the uterus or surgery on the female genital organs, suppositories are administered 1-2 times a day. In this case, the treatment of colpitis and vulvitis is limited to the use of the drug for 10 days. And to speed up tissue recovery after surgery, Methyluracil suppositories are used for a longer period of time - from 14 to 30 days, depending on the volume of intervention.
Before inserting suppositories into the vagina, it is necessary to remove mucus by douching, which is carried out with solutions of baking soda, chlorhexidine, nitrofural, or decoctions of chamomile and string.
After operations, women can apply Methyluracil ointment to the stitches to speed up their healing and reduce scarring. Thus, the use of ointment for a suture after a cesarean section leads to a significant reduction in its thickness and severity. Women successfully use the ointment to speed up the healing of sutures in the perineum after childbirth or gynecological operations. Methyluracil also perfectly restores the structure of the vaginal mucosa after radiation therapy.
The method of using Methyluracil to prevent ruptures of the vaginal mucosa and perineal skin during childbirth deserves attention. To do this, the ointment is applied to the skin of the perineum and vaginal mucosa (on a tampon) twice a day for 10 days before the expected date of birth - morning and evening. Such preventive preparation reduces the risk of ruptures during childbirth by 50–70%. This technique has been adopted in many maternity institutions in Eastern Europe.
Special Recommendations
In order for the patient to get the maximum effect from the use, it is worth adhering to simple rules:
- Methyluracil for burns is allowed to be taken with antibiotics, but under the supervision of a doctor.
- The medicine is recommended to be used only as indicated.
- The main component enhances the anti-radiation properties of the drug Cystamine.
- It is permissible for infants to apply the medicine only after consultation with a pediatrician, but not more than 0.25 g per day (externally). Stop the course after 7 days of use.
- Try to avoid damage to the mucous membranes. Otherwise, rinse with plenty of water.
How does the non-hormonal drug Movalis work for prostatitis?
Inflammation of the prostate is a painful and unpleasant event. Prostatitis is difficult to treat and takes a long time; doctors often prescribe complex treatment. The drug "Movalis" is an anti-inflammatory drug that is not hormonal. In addition to relieving inflammation of the affected organ, it has a local anesthetic effect and also reduces temperature. The main active ingredient of Movalis is meloxicam.
How does prostatitis begin?
How does prostatitis begin? From acute inflammation, which in a short time passes into the chronic stage. It is very difficult to cure, so at the slightest suspicion you should consult a doctor.
If there is pain in the lower abdomen, perineum or scrotum, if the process of urination causes problems, these are alarming signals. It is also worth paying attention to your sex life: are there any problems with ejaculation, changes in the composition of sperm? All this may also indicate the onset of inflammation.
If chronic prostatitis is not treated, it will continue to progress, leading to irreversible changes in the prostate gland itself.
Today, the most common forms of prostatitis include:
- non-bacterial;
- chronic bacterial - can occur without visible symptoms, as well as masquerade as acute;
- non-chronic bacterial – also known as abacterial. The disease appears quite often, and doctors have not yet discovered all the possible causes of its occurrence. It is most likely to get non-chronic bacterial prostitis as a result of disorders in neuromuscular processes, as well as internal inflammation of a non-infectious nature;
- acute bacterial;
- asymptomatic - proceeds completely unnoticed, can be easily treated with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial drugs.

Expert opinion
Dmitrieva Elena Yurievna
Gynecologist-endocrinologist, 40 years of experience
Methyluracil ointment is used in anti-aging procedures due to the fact that it promotes cellular regeneration. The initial stages of the appearance of wrinkles are quickly reversed due to the positive effects of methyluracil. Despite the fact that this drug was developed for other purposes, it turned out that it can also be used in cosmetology, including. The big advantage of this product is that it can be applied under the eyes, but if it is recommended to apply a thick layer of ointment to the face and décolleté, a thin layer should be applied under the eyes, and before using the product you should definitely consult a specialist. We must not forget that this is still a medicinal product, and not an ordinary skin care cream.
Basic information about the medicine
This drug belongs to the anti-inflammatory, stimulating and healing agents. It is often prescribed for the treatment of radiation diseases. The substance methyluracil itself belongs to pyrimidines. The main task of this medicine is to stimulate cellular enzymes, enhance division, and help cellular growth. In addition, the drug "Methyluracil" (tablets) has an anti-catabolic and anabolic effect. They enhance the stimulation of the production of red blood cells and white blood cells. When used, cell healing is accelerated, and not only cellular, but also humoral immunity is activated. Pharmacists noted that this medicine has a moderate anti-inflammatory effect, increased resistance to oxygen deficiency and blood loss. The drug contains substances such as dioxo-methyl and tetrahydropyrimidine, as well as auxiliary components. Usually in its normal form it looks like a white crystalline powder, its taste is bitter, and it is almost insoluble in water.
Methyluracil with miramistin - instructions for use
Each dosage form of the drug is used in compliance with dosages, duration of treatment, etc. Let's consider the rules for using Methyluracil tablets, ointments and suppositories.
- Adults and adolescents from the age of 14 take Methyluracil 1 tablet (500 mg), 4 to 6 times a day.
- Children from 3 to 8 years old take half a tablet (250 mg), 3 times a day.
- Children from 8 to 14 years old take half or a whole tablet (250 mg or 500 mg), 3 times a day.
In this case, adults can take a maximum of 3 g per day (6 pieces) of Methyluracil tablets, children 3 - 8 years old - 750 mg (1.5 pieces), and children 8 - 14 years old - 1.5 g (3 pieces).
The duration of the course of therapy for lesions of the digestive system (peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, hepatitis, pancreatitis, ulcerative colitis, enteritis, etc.) is 30–40 days. Therapy for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract is the longest. Therefore, in the treatment of other pathologies, Methyluracil tablets are used in shorter courses, the duration of which is determined by the speed of recovery and normalization of a person’s well-being.
Methyluracil ointment
The ointment is used to accelerate the healing of wounds and violations of the integrity of the skin of various origins (
, seams, etc.). The daily dosage of Methyluracil ointment is 5–10 grams, depending on the area of treatment and the frequency of changing dressings.
Methyluracil can be applied to any wound surface to accelerate the restoration of normal tissue structures. To do this, first the seam, wound or burn is treated with antiseptic solutions - washed with 3% hydrogen peroxide, furatsilin, potassium permanganate, chlorhexidine, 70% alcohol, etc. During treatment, all purulent and necrotic masses are thoroughly washed out of the wound.
Intact skin around the wound or suture is also treated. After this, ointment is applied directly to the wound surface, to the seam, to the cut, to the burn, which is covered with sterile gauze on top. If the wound is actively cleaned and a lot of pus, exudate or necrotic tissue collects in it, then such treatment with the application of a new dressing is carried out every 4 hours.
Women use Methyluracil to accelerate the healing of the vaginal mucosa and sutures in the perineum after childbirth. Seams must be processed correctly, following the following sequence of actions: 1. Wash with soap.2. Wash the seams with an antiseptic solution (potassium permanganate, furatsilin, hydrogen peroxide, etc.).3.
Gently dry the skin with a soft, clean cloth.4. Lie on the bed without wearing underwear and dry the skin of the perineum in the air for 15 minutes.5. Squeeze Methyluracil ointment onto sterile gauze and apply it to the sutures.6. Wear clean, natural underwear with padding.7. Depending on the number of lochia, change the gauze and ointment after 2 to 6 hours.
Methyluracil ointment is also used to heal microcracks and tears in the vaginal mucosa after childbirth. Women insert ointment into the vagina in two main ways. Before administering the medicine vaginally, you should wash yourself and douche with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. After this, dry the perineum with a soft and clean cloth.
Then insert the ointment into the vagina using a finger or tampon. If a woman can squeeze a little ointment onto her finger, insert it into the vagina and lubricate the mucous membrane in a circular motion, then this option can be used. Otherwise, apply about 5 cm of ointment to a cotton swab and insert it into the vagina.
Many women cannot insert a tampon with ointment into the vagina - it becomes smeared, runs off, etc. To facilitate insertion, you need to lie on your back, spread your legs, bend your knees, and raise your pelvis, remaining in this position for 2 to 3 minutes. After some time, the pelvic floor muscles will relax, and the tampon can be easily inserted, remaining in the described position.
Methyluracil suppositories
Candles (suppositories), according to the instructions, are intended for insertion into the rectum. However, doctors often prescribe Methyluracil in the form of suppositories in the vagina. But the manufacturers' instructions contain official information, taking into account the fact that the suppositories were not developed for use in gynecology. Do not be alarmed, since Methyluracil in the form of suppositories inserted into the vagina does not cause any harm. Let's look at the correct technique for inserting suppositories into the vagina and rectum.
We suggest you familiarize yourself with: Creams, gels, ointments for penis enlargement, effectiveness, mechanism of action
used in dosage:
- 500 – 1000 mg (1 – 2 suppositories), 3 – 4 times a day for adults;
- 250 mg (half a candle) per day for children from 3 to 8 years;
- 500 mg (1 suppository) per day for children from 8 to 14 years old.
The duration of use of suppositories depends on the speed of recovery, and ranges from 1 week to 4 months.
Before inserting the suppository into the rectum, a bowel movement should be performed. To reduce possible pain during defecation, it is recommended to induce it with an oil enema. To do this, 15–20 ml of vegetable oil (sunflower, olive, etc.) are poured into a small rubber bulb. The tip of the pear is also lubricated with oil and inserted into the anus.
By pressing the main part of the pear, the oil is injected into the rectum. After some time, the urge to defecate will appear, which cannot be ignored. The process of defecation during an oil enema will be relatively easy, since feces lubricated with oil will quickly slip through the rectal sphincter, causing virtually no pain.
After this, the anus should be washed with water and dried with a soft, clean cloth. Take a comfortable position, wet the finger with which you are going to insert the candle into the anus. Take one suppository and insert it deep into the rectum with a finger moistened with water. After the procedure, wash your hands. Then you need to put on clean underwear, which you don’t mind getting dirty, since a small amount of the suppository composition, having melted inside the rectum, can leak out. After inserting the suppository, you need to lie quietly for half an hour.
Methyluracil vaginally. Gynecologists have long used Methyluracil suppositories to accelerate the repair processes of the vagina and cervix in women. To heal cervical erosion, Methyluracil suppositories are administered vaginally twice a day (morning and evening), for 10 to 14 days. For the purpose of treating colpitis or vulvitis, suppositories, depending on the severity of the condition, are administered 1–2 times a day for 10 days. The course of vaginal use of Methyluracil suppositories can range from 8 to 30 days, depending on the initial condition and speed of recovery.
Before inserting a suppository into the vagina, it is necessary to douche with solutions of baking soda, chlorhexidine, nitrofural, or infusions of string and chamomile. After douching, insert the suppository deep into the vagina and put on clean underwear that you don’t mind getting dirty. This is due to the fact that the suppository in the vagina melts and flows out a little. After inserting the suppository into the vagina, you need to lie in bed for about half an hour.
Methyluracil ointment
contains an antiseptic, so it can be considered an analogue of Levomekol, which is widely used in the treatment of wounds, sutures and other damage to the skin. Before applying the ointment, it is necessary to treat
wound surface. The ointment is applied to sterile gauze, which is applied to the wound and secured with a bandage. If the wound is large and has purulent discharge, then cotton swabs are soaked in Methyluracil ointment with Miramistin and the entire cavity is filled with them. If there are fistulas, turundas made of gauze are soaked in ointment and carefully inserted into the fistula tract.
Treatment with ointment is carried out once a day. As the wound heals, the number of treatments is reduced to 1 time every 2 days. The duration of use is determined by the dynamics of recovery and the extent of the lesion. The use of Methyluracil ointment with Miramistin is stopped when the wound is cleaned and the first signs of healing appear.
Contraindications
Taking Methyluracil tablets is contraindicated in certain pathological conditions of the body, which include:
- Lymphagrunolematosis is a tumor lesion of the lymphocytic lineage of the red bone marrow.
- Hemoblastoses are tumor lesions of erythrocyte precursor cells in the red bone marrow.
- Any malignant neoplasms of the red bone marrow.
- Individual intolerance to the active substance or auxiliary components of the drug.
- Myeloid form of leukemia, which is characterized by the formation of a large number of tumor blood cells in the red bone marrow.
The drug is also not used for children under 3 years of age. Before you start taking Methyluracil tablets, you should make sure there are no contraindications.
Methyluracil for Burns: Instructions, Application and Indications
For successful wound healing and prevention of many complications, methyluracil ointment is used for burns. The protective and anti-inflammatory properties of the drug accelerate the healing process, which is why it is included in complex therapy.
Means for external use for burns
Composition and main properties
The drug contains the active substance methyluracil, a derivative of pyrimidine, a component of nucleic acids. Each tube contains 25, 15 or 30 grams of 10% substance. The main feature of the product is the ability of methyluracil to accelerate metabolism and regeneration of burned tissues.
Due to increased nutrition of cells, they form and multiply much faster. Proper use will help avoid scars on the body.
Ointment for various skin lesions
The product comes in the form of tablets, ointments and suppositories. In addition to the main active ingredient, the ointment is made with petroleum jelly, paraffin, and macrogol and alcohol are added.
Most often, it is the additional components that cause allergic reactions, so you should carefully choose the product. The product methyluracil with miramistin is also produced - an antiseptic for a complex effect on pathology.
Treatment of skin with thermal effects
The ointment has the following properties:
- acceleration of skin regeneration in damaged areas;
- wound healing properties;
- stimulation of metabolic processes at the cellular level;
- stimulates the growth of granulation tissue, as well as the production of protective bodies in the body;
- prevention of secondary wound infection;
- anti-inflammatory effect.
Methyluarcil is not a hormonal drug, so it is not addictive. The active components act on gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, pathogenic fungi and other microorganisms.
Degree of skin damage from burns
Indications for use
The drug is used as an external agent. Internal use of the drug is also recommended for the general strengthening of the immune system and for many pathologies.
When is the remedy prescribed?
From the moment of damage to the complete restoration of the skin there are 3 phases.
- Purulent-necrotic stage. There are dead tissues, purulent masses, and swelling.
- Granulation stage. The wound is cleared of contents, metabolic processes are normalized and granulation occurs.
- The last stage is called epithelization and is characterized by the healing of damaged tissues and the formation of scars on the skin.
Pathological processes differ depending on the stage, area of the burn, and the presence of infection in the wound. Local treatment is selected only taking into account all indicators.
The action of any ointment must correspond to the healing stage. Timely provision of first aid to a person and proper antiseptic treatment are important. If the wound is infected, it takes much longer to heal.
Ointments for dressings for wound healing
Methyluracil for burns is best used at the last stage.
The main indications for the ointment are the following diseases:
- thermal, radiation and chemical burns of the skin;
- purulent processes;
- poorly healing wounds;
- postoperative sutures;
- diaper rash;
- cracks (hemorrhoids);
- for gynecological diseases.
Important! The drug enhances the antimicrobial effect of other drugs.
Proper help for skin lesions
How to treat burns
The drug is applied in a thin layer to the affected area several times. If the wounds are deep, methyluracil is applied to the burn up to 4 times a day. For each procedure you will need about 5 g of ointment, which is 1/3 of the tube. Only a specialist will prescribe the correct treatment after examining the patient.
With an open wound surface, with deep lesions and purulent processes, the skin is first treated with an antiseptic, cleaned of purulent masses, and only then ointment is applied.
Methyluracil with miramistin is also used to heal burns, severe wounds, trophic ulcers, and photodermatosis. An antiseptic slightly reduces the resistance of some microbes to antibiotics.
The drug has a pronounced antiseptic effect. The active components of the ointment have a long-term effect on the affected area without penetrating into the systemic bloodstream.

Benefits for skin with burns
The course of treatment depends on the degree of damage and lasts from 10-14 days to 1 month or until the patient recovers completely:
Methods of using ointment | |
For healing scars | If you use methyluracil for a burn at the last stage of epithelialization, the likelihood of the formation of large scars and scars is much reduced. Active healing occurs simultaneously with increased protein cell productivity. Once scars have already formed on the skin, it will be more difficult to remove them, so it is important to start treatment on time. |
To prevent infection | Extensive burns are very dangerous due to the rapid spread of infection throughout the body. Such damage is often accompanied by an inflammatory process. To prevent infection and its proliferation, use an external agent. |
For inflammation and swelling | Due to the pronounced anti-inflammatory effect, its further spread is limited. With regular use, enzymes responsible for activating inflammation at the site of injury are suppressed. The drug eliminates the cause of pain and tissue swelling in burns of varying degrees. Treatment is stopped after complete cleansing of the wound and after granulation. |
Ointment bandage | If necessary, a small amount of the product is applied to the wound or to the material itself, fixed with a sterile bandage or gauze or plaster. If there is no purulent content, change the bandage twice a day. For infected wounds, the procedure is performed up to 4 times. Between changing bandages or gauze, damaged skin is treated with an antiseptic to prevent complications of the disease. |
