Solcoseryl ointment: unique ingredients and application features

• What does Solcoseryl ointment help with?
• indications and regimens for use,
• application in cosmetology against wrinkles.

The article was written by a specialist with higher medical education.

Solcoseryl ointment is a preparation containing deproteinized dialysate from the blood of calves, which is an effective stimulator of healing of skin lesions and the red border of the lips. Here you need to pay attention to the fact that the drug is intended for application only to those wounds that do not have wet discharge. If the wound surface is wet or has discharge, in this case only Solcoseryl in gel form should be used.

The drug is registered as a “medicine” and is intended exclusively for external use. The drug is produced by pharma (Switzerland) and has no age restrictions, and is also not contraindicated for use in lactating and pregnant women. The latter indicates a high safety profile and a low risk of developing allergies. The ointment is a homogeneous white fatty mass, which has a characteristic smell of petroleum jelly and meat broth (the latter is associated with production technology).

This substance effectively breaks down the amino acids that make up scars. “Fermenkol” has practically no contraindications, perfectly smoothes scars and relieves itching. The gel is suitable for the treatment of both old and fresh scars. When treating acne scars, the skin becomes more elastic, lighter, and defects are practically invisible.

pharmachologic effect

Solcoseryl is a medicine that affects mainly metabolic processes in tissues. They activate tissue metabolic processes, improve trophism and stimulate tissue repair and regeneration when exposed to damaging factors.

Solcoseryl in injection form belongs to the pharmacotherapeutic group of hemodialysates and hemofiltrates, ointment and jelly - to the category of drugs used to treat wounds and ulcers (including poorly healing ones), gel - to the category of drugs used to treat ophthalmological diseases.

Mask with cleansing effect

Solcoseryl can also be used in cosmetology for cleansing facial skin.

Based on reviews, this mask is quite effective and safe:

1. Solcoseryl is mixed with white coal and tangerine oil in equal proportions.
2. Using a spatula, spread the mixture onto your face using upward movements.
3. After leaving for 20 minutes, remove the product and wash your face.

This procedure not only nourishes, but also:

• frees the skin from excess fat and sebum;
• cleanses pores;
• reduces the effects of acne.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

The main component of Solcoseryl preparations are fractions of the blood of calves with natural low-molecular substances included in their composition, the molecular weight of which does not exceed 5000 daltons.

To date, its properties have only been partially studied. In vitro tests, as well as preclinical and clinical studies, have shown that calf blood extract:

• promotes the restoration and/or maintenance of aerobic metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation processes, and also ensures the replenishment of cells that do not receive sufficient nutrition with high-energy phosphates;
• in vitro enhances the utilization of oxygen and activates the transport of glucose into tissues and cells suffering from hypoxia and metabolically depleted;
• helps improve repair and regeneration processes in damaged tissues that do not receive sufficient nutrition;
• prevents the development or reduces the severity of secondary degradation and pathological changes in reversibly damaged cells and cellular systems;
• in in vitro models activates collagen synthesis;
• has a stimulating effect on the proliferation (reproduction) of cells and their migration (in in vitro models).

Thus, Solcoseryl protects tissues that are in a state of oxygen starvation and nutritional deficiency, and accelerates the processes of their restoration and healing.

Solcoseryl eye gel is a dosage form that was developed specifically for the treatment of damage to the stroma of the cornea.

The gel-like consistency of the product ensures its uniform distribution on the cornea, and good adhesive properties allow it to remain on it for a long period of time. The use of eye gel accelerates the restoration of damaged tissues and prevents scarring.

The rate and extent of absorption, distribution, as well as the rate and route of elimination of the active substance from the patient’s body cannot be determined using conventional pharmacokinetic methods, since protein-free calf blood extract has pharmacodynamic effects that are characteristic of molecules with different chemical and physical properties.

In the process of studying the pharmacokinetic characteristics of Solcoseryl solution in animals, it was found that after a bolus injection, the effect of the drug develops within half an hour. The effect lasts for three hours after administration of the solution.

Mederma

Another scar gel made in Germany. Moderma contains various active ingredients that heal damage to the skin: cepalin, allantoin, xanthine, sorbic acid. Mederma works comprehensively: it stimulates cell regeneration, prevents fibroblasts from developing, softens dead skin cells and helps produce collagen. Mederma gel perfectly moisturizes the skin, improves blood circulation, relieves inflammation, and destroys bacteria. The only disadvantage of this product is that it only treats recent scars. It takes at least six months for a fresh scar to resolve. Mederma is suitable for pregnant and lactating women.

Indications for use

Solcoseryl injections - what are they for and what groups of patients are they prescribed for?

Solcoseryl in ampoules is indicated for patients who have been diagnosed with occlusive peripheral artery disease of the third or fourth degree according to the Fontaine classification and who have contraindications or intolerance to other vasoactive drugs.

It is also prescribed to patients with chronic venous insufficiency , which is accompanied by the formation of treatment-resistant trophic ulcers , as well as to patients with disorders of cerebral metabolism.

What is Solcoseryl ointment and jelly for?

The use of ointment and jelly is advisable for the treatment of minor injuries (for example, abrasions or cuts), frostbite, first and second degree burns (thermal or solar), difficult-to-heal wounds (for example, trophic skin disorders of venous etiology or bedsores ).

Indications for use of eye gel

Solcoseryl eye gel is recommended:

• for the treatment of mechanical injuries and erosive damage to the cornea and conjunctiva;
• to accelerate the healing processes of postoperative scars in the postoperative period (for example, after a cornea transplant, surgery to remove a cloudy lens, surgical treatment of glaucoma , etc.);
• for the treatment of burns of the cornea of ​​various origins (thermal, chemical or radiation);
• for the treatment of ulcerative lesions of the cornea and keratitis of various etiologies;
• for dystrophic lesions of the cornea of ​​various etiologies, including neuroparalytic keratitis , endothelial-epithelial dystrophy ( bullous keratopathy ), etc.;
• for the treatment of corneal xerophthalmia with lagofatalmos (non-closure of the palpebral fissure);
• to improve the tolerability of contact lenses and reduce the time of adaptation to them.

Indications for use of Solcoseryl dragees

The drug in the form of pills is taken to treat trophic and radiation ulcers , bedsores , gangrene , and chronic venous insufficiency . They are also prescribed to patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers and to patients who require skin and/or corneal grafting procedures.

Properties of methyluracil ointment

Its peculiarity is the rapid healing of wounds and cracks, which is indispensable in winter. Ointment is often used instead of protective cream. She:

• has photoprotective properties, therefore preventing damage from solar influence;
• softens redness after ultraviolet radiation;
• protects from frost;
• has a beneficial effect on chapped areas;
• has an anti-inflammatory effect;
• quickly heals cracked lips.

The activity of the main substance does not cause damage to other parts of the body. The cream acts only locally and does not penetrate into tissues, so it does not enter the bloodstream or spread throughout the internal organs.

Due to the appearance of many medications on the pharmaceutical market, methyluracil silicon has deservedly lost its former popularity. But many fans are in no hurry to give up an effective means of protection. With high effectiveness, the price is low compared to other drugs, and the result is always positive.

Contraindications

Administration of the solution is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to calf blood dialysates. The solution is also contraindicated for atopy and for persons allergic to milk.

Since the ointment, jelly and solution contain derivatives of parahydroxybenzoic acid , which are used as preservatives, as well as trace concentrations of benzoic acid in free form, it is not used in the presence of allergic reactions to the above substances.

Ointment and jelly should be prescribed with caution to persons with a predisposition to allergic reactions.

A contraindication to the use of eye gel is hypersensitivity to its components. Since the eye gel can cause temporary visual impairment, you should not drive a car or operate potentially dangerous machinery for half an hour after its use.

Cicatrix

The use of silicone compounds is considered the gold standard in the treatment of scars and scars. In addition to liquid silicone, Cicatrix contains plant extracts and sphingolipids (cosmetic substances that are also used in pediatrics). "Cicatrix" contains Asian centella, which stimulates collagen production and reduces inflammation, and Scots pine extract - improves the protective properties of the skin and tones. Sphingolipids (sphingosine and ceramides) are part of cell membranes - they restore the structure of the epidermis, maintain its lipid balance, and make scars elastic and soft. Literally after a month of constant use, you can notice the positive effect of the cream if these are young scars. The old ones decrease over the course of the year.

Laboratorios Virens SL (Laboratory Virens), Spain

It is recommended to use for the regeneration of skin, especially damaged after surgery, burns, fresh and old scars, keloids, post-acne, stretch marks on the skin.

Side effects

Administration of Solcoseryl IV or IM in very rare cases (their frequency does not exceed 0.1%) provokes the development of allergic or anaphylactic reactions, which are most likely caused by class E immunoglobulins.

If body temperature rises, urticaria , swelling and hyperemia at the site of drug administration, the use of Solcoseryl is stopped, and symptomatic treatment will be prescribed to eliminate the symptoms that appear.

Since the solution contains potassium, its administration may cause pain at the injection site.

When using Solcoseryl cream, a short-term burning sensation may be felt at the site of application. Discontinuation of the drug is required only in cases where the unpleasant sensation does not disappear for a long period of time.

In isolated cases, the use of jelly and ointment can cause the development of allergic reactions. If allergy symptoms appear, the use of these products should be discontinued.

Toxicological studies of Solcoseryl eye gel have shown the high safety of this drug when used for its intended purpose in accordance with the instructions.

After instillation of the product, a short-term burning sensation and mild irritation may be observed, which are not reasons for stopping treatment. Repeated instillations in rare cases provoke the development of allergic reactions (a similar effect is also observed during treatment with other ophthalmic drugs for topical use).

Contractubex

A German cream for scars and scars, which has long been very popular. Active ingredients of the gel: allantoin, sodium heparin, onion bulb extract. You should not expect instant results from Contractubex gel if your scar is old. Old scars need to be treated for a long time - you will notice the first positive changes after six months. If you regularly apply the product to the scar, it will shrink faster. If you systematically treat fresh scars, Contractubex will do the job in about a month. In reviews, patients praise this drug, but say that for tangible results it must be used strictly according to the instructions. "Contractubex" smoothes scars, improves blood circulation, and moisturizes the skin. When treating with Contractubex, you need to avoid massages, avoid hypothermia and direct sunlight.

Instructions for use of Solcoseryl (Method and dosage)

Solution for injection, instructions for use

In cases where the patient's condition allows, the drug is recommended to be used in the form of an injection solution diluted at least 50:50 with saline or glucose solution.

Solcoseryl in ampoules is intended for slow administration in the form of intravenous injections or infusions. If intravenous administration is not possible, the drug can be injected into the muscle.

Since the drug in its pure form is a hypertonic solution, it should be administered slowly.

For intravenous infusion, the drug should be pre-diluted with 0.25 l of 0.9% NaCl solution or 5% glucose solution. Solcoseryl solution is administered intravenously by drip. The rate of administration depends on the hemodynamic status of the patient.

Patients with occlusive disease of peripheral arteries of the third or fourth degree according to the Fontaine classification are shown daily injection into a vein of 0.85 g (or 20 ml of undiluted solution) Solcoseryl.

The duration of use is usually up to four weeks and depends on the clinical situation.

Patients with chronic venous insufficiency , which is accompanied by the formation of treatment-resistant trophic ulcers , are indicated for intravenous administration of 0.425 g (or 10 ml of undiluted solution) Solcoseryl three times a week.

The duration of the course of treatment should not exceed four weeks (it is determined depending on the nature of the disease).

To prevent the appearance of peripheral venous edema , therapy is supplemented by applying a pressure bandage using an elastic bandage. If the patient has skin trophic disorders, treatment is carried out by combining injections or infusions of Solcoseryl solution with the use of jelly, and then ointment.

Patients who have suffered ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke are prescribed daily intravenous administration of 0.425 or 0.85 g of Solcoseryl (10 or 20 ml of undiluted solution) as the main course. The duration of the main course is 10 days.

Further treatment involves daily administration of 85 mg (or 2 ml of undiluted solution) Solcoseryl for one month.

In severe forms of brain contusions, daily injection of 1000 mg of Solcoseryl into a vein (corresponding to 23-24 ml of undiluted solution) is prescribed for 5 days.

The drug is administered intramuscularly undiluted at a dose of 2 ml/day.

Solcoseryl jelly and ointment: instructions for use

Cream and ointment are intended for application directly to the wound surface. Before using these dosage forms, the wound is first cleaned using a disinfectant solution.

Patients with trophic ulcers , as well as in cases of purulent infection of wounds, require preliminary surgical treatment before starting treatment.

When using jelly and ointment for frostbite , as well as for treating ulcers and skin injuries, it is important to remember that only sterile dressings should be used to treat damaged areas.

The gel is intended for application to fresh (including wet) wounds and weeping ulcers. The product is applied in a thin layer to a previously cleaned wound surface two or three times a day.

To treat areas where epithelization has begun, the use of ointment is indicated. The use of jelly is advisable until pronounced granulation tissue begins to form on the damaged surface of the skin and the wound begins to dry out.

The ointment is used primarily to treat dry wounds. The product is applied in a thin layer to a previously cleaned wound surface once or twice a day. If necessary, cover the treated surface with a bandage.

The course of treatment with the drug in this dosage form continues until the wound heals and is completely healed with elastic tissue.

For patients with severe trophic damage to the skin and soft tissues, it is recommended to combine jelly and ointment with the injection form of Solcoseryl.

Experience with the use of jelly and ointment for children is limited.

The drug does not have such release forms as suppositories. However, in the complex therapy of chronic colitis (inflammation of the colon), microenemas with Solcoseryl jelly are often prescribed.

Before use, the jelly contained in the tube (all 20 g) is added to 30 ml of warm water and after the enema procedure, which is carried out to cleanse the intestines, it is administered daily for 10 days.

Solcoseryl eye gel, instructions for use

Unless otherwise instructed by the attending physician, the eye gel is instilled into the conjunctival cavity, one drop three or four times a day. It is recommended to use the product daily until complete recovery.

In particularly difficult cases, eye ointment can be used one drop per hour. If the patient is simultaneously prescribed eye drops and Solcoseryl eye gel, the gel should be applied approximately half an hour after the drops.

During the period of adaptation to contact lenses, the drug is instilled into the conjunctival cavity immediately before installing the lenses and immediately after removing them.

Dragee Solcoseryl: instructions for use

The instructions recommend taking 100 mg tablets three times a day.

special instructions

Studies regarding the safety of using Solcoseryl solution for the treatment of children have not been conducted, therefore the drug is not recommended for the treatment of children under the age of 18 years.

Experience in treating children with the use of eye gel and topical dosage forms of the drug is also limited.

Solcoseryl in ampoules should be administered separately from other drugs (it is especially incompatible with phytoextracts). The exceptions are isotonic 0.9% NaCl solution and 5% glucose solution. It is also not recommended to dilute the product in potassium-containing solutions for infusion.

Eye gels are characterized by the ability to stick to contact lenses, so it is recommended to stop wearing lenses during treatment with the drug.

If allergic reactions associated with the use of the drug occur, you should immediately report them to your doctor. If the drug is used to treat an infectious disease of the cornea, therapy is supplemented with the prescription of appropriate antimicrobial agents.

Avoid contact of the gel with soft contact lenses as it may discolor them.

If necessary, treatment with Solcoseryl can be supplemented with antibacterial, vasodilating and other drugs.

Solcoseryl in cosmetology: for the face, hands, rough elbows and heels, for the skin around the eyes

In medicine, Solcoseryl preparations are used to accelerate the healing of damaged skin; in home cosmetology, they are used as a remedy for acne, stretch marks, and wrinkles. They are used to soften the skin, increase its turgor, improve complexion and eliminate acne .

In cosmetology, the ointment can be used as a stand-alone product (it is applied pointwise to problem areas, in the form of a mask once a week before bedtime and two to three times a week on the skin around the eyes), or in combination with other products, in particular with the drug Dimexide . Let's look at how to use these medications together.

For the face, Dimexide and Solcoseryl are used as follows: on the face, neck and décolleté, previously cleaned with peeling agents (you can also do alkaline peeling using tar soap, salt and soda), apply a solution of Dimexide with water, prepared in a ratio of 1:10 (enough dilute 5 ml (teaspoon) of Dimexide in 50 ml of water); Before the product has time to be absorbed, Solcoseryl ointment is applied to it in a thick layer.

If the gel is used in cosmetology, then the mask should be periodically sprayed with thermal water (you can also use regular water through a spray bottle). The mask is left on the face for about half an hour to an hour, then washed off and a light hypoallergenic cream is applied to the skin.

According to women who have tried this mask recipe on themselves, Solcoseryl ointment is more comfortable for the face than gel (after application, you don’t have to wash it off, just remove the residue with a napkin). In addition, it is not recommended to use a gel mask more than once a month.

Used as a remedy for wrinkles around the eyes, Solcoseryl ointment has proven itself to be a very effective remedy. Applying it like a regular cream, within a week you can see that the number of wrinkles and wrinkles has decreased, the skin has tightened and smoothed, and its color has become fresher and healthier.

Dimexide and Solcoseryl are no less effective against wrinkles, and perhaps even more effective. This is due to the ability of Dimexide to enhance the penetration of the active substance of drugs deep into the tissue. After using these products in combination, skin irregularities and imperfections disappear, and the effect of the mask is comparable to the effect of Botox .

The gel and ointment can also be used to soften rough skin on the elbows and heels. It is best to apply them to problem areas before bed.

Rejuvenating mask

As an effective anti-aging mask that restores the skin and eliminates deep wrinkles, you can use Solcoseryl gel together with Curiosin gel.

After one cosmetic course, the elasticity of the skin improves and the face looks fresher.

For use:

• take both means in equal proportions;
• mix;
• apply to clean skin.

You can keep the mask on your face for more than an hour.

Reviews of Solcoseryl

Almost all reviews left on the forums about injections, eye gel, jelly and Solcoseryl ointment are positive. Rare negative reviews are due largely to the fact that the drug provoked allergic reactions associated with intolerance to its active component.

Reviews of Solcoseryl gel and the drug in the form of an ointment allow us to conclude that these drugs effectively cope not only with minor scratches and minor burns, but also help cure difficult-to-heal wounds and ulcers.

The effectiveness of the ointment in cosmetology is also highly appreciated. Reviews of Solcoseryl ointment for the face indicate that this is truly an indispensable product for those who want to quickly get rid of wrinkles, acne, and simply improve the color and tone of the skin.

Gel is no less effective against wrinkles, but cosmetologists believe that it should not be used as part of masks too often (optimally - once a month). The ointment can be used as a regular cream.

The effectiveness of Solcoseryl against wrinkles increases when combined with Dimexide , which is due to the latter’s ability to improve the penetration of the active substance deeper into the skin.

Efficiency

Solcoseryl for the face against wrinkles (reviews from cosmetologists prove its effectiveness) is often used. The result quickly becomes noticeable. Usually, after the first 2-3 applications, positive dynamics are noticeable.

After a course of use, existing wrinkles are noticeably smoothed out, and the facial contours are evened out.

The skin becomes softer and more hydrated, and its color becomes even. The high effectiveness of this drug is explained by the fact that it is able to enrich skin cells with oxygen and regulate the production of the skin’s own collagen. Also, the use of Solcoseryl helps to get rid of inflammation that occurs on the skin.
