• composition analysis,
• detailed instructions for use,
• Solcoseryl gel – reviews, price 2022.

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

Solcoseryl gel is a drug based on deproteinized dialysate from the blood of calves, which accelerates the healing of wounds on the skin and mucous membrane. For example, this drug is widely used in dentistry - to accelerate the healing of erosions and ulcers of the mucous membrane during stomatitis, traumatic injuries to the mucous membrane, and for bedsores under dentures. As for skin wounds, the drug is intended only for the treatment of fresh, wet wounds. To treat wounds and skin damage in the absence of wet discharge, Solcoseryl should be used in the form of an ointment.

The drug is manufactured (Switzerland) and registered as a “medicinal product”. The drug has a high safety profile - in particular, it has no age restrictions, as well as contraindications for use in pregnant and lactating women. When squeezed out of the tube, you can see that the gel is completely transparent, homogeneous and not too liquid (it has a fairly dense consistency). It also has a faint smell of meat broth, which is due to the production technology.

What is Solcoseryl ointment used for?

The drug is based on deproteinized dialysate obtained through special processing from the blood of calves. This substance is often used in medicine in countries such as China, Korea, and the entire CIS. It has proven itself to be an effective remedy that can:

• enrich tissue cells damaged due to hypoxia with oxygen and glucose;
• start tissue repair processes;
• activate healthy cell division processes;
• increases the level of energy produced by cells;
• protects the skin from external damage by forming a film on its surface;
• triggers the production of collagen by tissues.

Based on the activity of the drug, the drug can be used for:

• frostbite;
• psoriasis;
• anal ring cracks;
• cuts;
• abrasions;
• scratches;
• bedsores;
• acne marks;
• dermatitis;

First of all, to achieve the best effect, it is necessary to start therapy in the early stages of the problem.

What is good about a drug combining dimexide and solcoseryl?

Dimexide for wrinkles, according to cosmetologists, can be used externally to treat the skin. It is believed that the combination of these drugs can provide a rejuvenating effect. Both components are sold at most regular pharmacies without a prescription. But separately. Their cost is quite affordable compared to other ointments and preparations for skin rejuvenation. Solcoseryl is sold at a price of 140 rubles. Dimexide can be purchased at a cost of 50 rubles per small portion of the solution. A cosmetic procedure performed in salons by professionals costs 2,000 rubles or more. There is something to think about.

Dimexide and solcoseryl for wrinkles have very different reviews. Most visitors to women's forums did not risk trying this remedy on themselves; some immediately speak negatively; others know for sure that solcoseryl has long been used to restore health after surgery, and it helps well in this direction. The question remains whether this combination can be used for the skin around the eyes, because it is very thin and delicate.

The combination of dimexide and solcoseryl can give a rejuvenating effect

Those who took the risk note a good and quick effect. It is noticeable, according to reviews on forums, even after three days of using the product. This procedure is compared in effect to Botox. There is an opinion that if you do not use concentrated lotions for half an hour, but use a mixture with cream, you will not get such a pronounced effect. But this issue remains controversial. The procedure is carried out ten times on different days.

It is very important to maintain the correct concentration, since both substances in case of overdose can cause intolerance. Despite all the doubts, the mere fact that this combination of drugs will be prescribed for burns and wounds suggests its effectiveness. The medicine began to be used in cosmetology quite recently.

Solcoseryl ointment as a face mask

Cosmetologists claim that the use of Solcoseryl in the early stages of age-related changes allows you to maintain youthful skin. Timely start of use can replace expensive laser rejuvenation in the salon. First of all, Solcoseryl allows you to get rid of wrinkles and prevent their earlier appearance. The ointment is capable of:

• provide adequate nutrition to the facial skin;
• get rid of acne;
• relieve inflammation;
• improve complexion;
• tighten the oval;
• get rid of wrinkles.

The expected effects are possible due to the fact that using a mask allows you to saturate tissues and cells with oxygen and accelerate regeneration. Thanks to the application of the cream, collagen, which is responsible for skin elasticity, begins to be actively produced. The more collagen produced, the fewer wrinkles your skin will have. It is like a support for a heavy skin sheet, preventing its individual areas from falling through, preventing the formation of wrinkles.

Dimexide for wrinkles

What are the reviews from cosmetologists about dimexide and solcoseryl for wrinkles? It is known that these two components are drugs with a wide spectrum of action. It is known about dimexide that he was back in 1866 by researcher A.M. Zaitsev. In its pure form, the drug has neither color nor odor. Dimexide, or dimethyl sulfoxide, is poisonous, but less so than other compounds in its group.

For this reason, it is widely used in chemistry as a bipolar solvent. What does bipolar mean? This means that substances that do not mix with water, such as fat and ethers, can be dissolved in it. Since this substance is a very effective solvent, it is better to use it for paint removal instead of gasoline. It will not only do the job better, but it is also not so harmful to the human body. They can also dissolve and remove remnants or excess polyurethane foam and still fresh superglue.

Dimexide for wrinkles enhances regenerative processes

Dimexide has been used in medicine for a long time, as it has a number of useful properties:

1. Analgesic - the substance is an effective analgesic.
2. To deliver medicinal substances into the body through the skin, dimexide is absorbed into the skin in a few seconds. Along with it, other substances quickly enter the body.
3. Anti-inflammatory – the substance is an effective antibacterial agent.

Dimexide for wrinkles enhances recovery processes. If used externally, dimexide quickly penetrates the skin, anesthetizes and disinfects the sore spot. It can be used in some cases for acne and boils. If it is mixed with other substances, such as herbal extract, the effect will be complex. Among other things, it is capable of replacing the functions of certain substances in the human body. It is used externally for arthritis and bruises to relieve pain and eliminate inflammation. The substance effectively acts on skin boils and ulcers. Dimexide for wrinkles, according to reviews, is primarily a good anti-inflammatory agent for abscesses.

This drug is allowed to be used externally in solution. For a very sensitive area, use a 10% solution; in other cases, it is more effective to use a 50% solution. The drug also has contraindications. These are diseases of the kidneys, liver, heart. It is also prohibited during pregnancy. It should not be used with other drugs without strict instructions from a doctor, as it may increase their toxic effect. It is also worth checking for individual intolerances.

Solcoseryl injections: what for

Any surgical intervention is accompanied by a violation of the integrity of the skin and tissues. If the operation involves the removal of some fragment of an internal organ, the body will require a long rehabilitation period, during which the body will be fully or partially restored. Solcoseryl in ampoules can be instantly delivered to tissues, shortening the recovery period. Injections allow you to mobilize all the internal forces of the body to heal wounds, cuts and sutures not only on the outside, but on the internal organs that remain after operations.

Special cases include the prescription of intravenous or intramuscular administration to patients after ophthalmological operations. Solcoseryl ensures active blood circulation, which accelerates the process of adaptation of the organ of vision in the postoperative period, and also reduces the risk of complications.

How to use the ointment

Instructions for use of solcoseryl include the following recommendations:

• the ointment is applied only topically directly to the wound, covering those areas where the healing process has begun;
• the wound surface is pre-cleaned with disinfectant solutions, since the ointment does not contain antibacterial components;
• in case of purulent infection, cleanse from exudate and dead tissue;
• ointment is prescribed for the treatment of injuries with clear signs of healing;
• apply solcoseryl to the surface of the wound in the morning and evening, apply a bandage if necessary;
• Treatment should be continued until the wound is completely scarred.

The use of solcoseryl is determined by the type of pathology. Thus, for chronic trophic ulcers, it is recommended to treat the inner surface with solcoseryl gel, and the outer edges of the wound with ointment 2 times a day for 3 weeks. For diabetic feet without exudate, the ointment is applied twice a day for 2 months.

In proctology, solcoseryl ointment has only positive reviews from patients. This is due to the fact that the drug promotes rapid tissue healing and stimulates blood supply in damaged vessels. However, the ointment can be used only for external forms of hemorrhoids, which are not accompanied by the formation of anal fissures (in this case, it is more appropriate to prescribe solcoseryl gel). The drug is applied to hemorrhoids 4-5 times a day for a week.

The nuances of using the ointment:

• The drug should not be used by pregnant women or during lactation, since appropriate clinical trials have not been conducted;

• if pain appears in the wound area, redness of the skin around the injury, exudate, or elevated body temperature, you should consult your doctor;
• If there are no signs of wound healing within 2-3 weeks of use, you should immediately consult a doctor, as this may indicate a benign or malignant wound process.

How to inject Solcoseryl for gastritis

Gastritis is a disease of the gastric mucosa that can occur for various reasons. Solcoseryl ampoules will not become the main drug used in the treatment of gastritis, but it can speed up the healing process, while the prescribed therapy will relieve the patient of the source of the problem.

The gastric mucosa can become inflamed not only as a result of poor nutrition, but also as a result of infection with gastrointestinal infections. The attending physician will first conduct an examination and evaluate the test results, which will allow him to prescribe effective therapy. Solcoseryl will be used as an addition to the main treatment, as it will help the stomach tissues to regenerate faster, ulcers to heal, and inflammation to disappear.

Contraindications and side effects –

The only contraindication to the use of the drug is the presence of hypersensitivity to one of its components. The drug has a high safety profile and has no age-related contraindications, and is also approved for use in pregnant and lactating women. The only point you need to pay attention to is that the drug should be used with caution if you are predisposed to allergic reactions.

When used on the skin, Solcoseryl gel can cause local allergic reactions such as urticaria or marginal dermatitis. If the drug is used on the oral mucosa, usually one of the signs of an allergy will be limited swelling of the soft tissue at the site of application. Another sign of an allergy may be a prolonged, continuous burning sensation at the site of application, which requires discontinuation of the drug. If the burning sensation is short-term, then this is acceptable and does not require discontinuation of the drug.

Which is better: Metrogyl Denta or Solcoseryl

Both drugs can be used in the treatment of stomatitis. However, it is better to consider them not as drugs of choice, but from the point of view of a combination of two types of gels. The thing is that stomatitis is most often caused by bacterial infection of the tissues of the oral cavity, which causes the appearance of wounds and ulcers. Metrogyl Denta is an antimicrobial drug with a pronounced antibacterial effect. At the same time, everyone who has encountered stomatitis at least once knows how much one wants to speed up the healing process of ulcers that cause severe pain, especially when eating food. Solcoseryl can force tissue to regenerate as quickly as possible, which ensures prompt healing of wounds.

Deproteinized dialysate from calf blood - indications for use

The following list of indications for use is determined by the presence in the drug of deproteinized dialysate obtained from the blood of dairy calves. The dialysate contains a large number of active substances and growth factors that accelerate regeneration processes in the skin and mucous membrane. Indications for use of Solcoseryl gel –

• wet wounds on the skin and red border of the lips,
• trophic ulcers on the skin,
• erosions and ulcers of the oral mucosa,
• bedsores under removable dentures,
• injuries to the mucous membrane from removable and fixed dentures, sharp edges of fillings.

Once again, we draw your attention to the fact that when using the drug on the skin and red border of the lips, the indication for use is only wet wounds. Those. wounds must not be covered with crusts and have a moist discharge. If the wound is covered with dry crusts and there is no wet discharge, then according to the instructions for use, it is necessary to use not a gel, but Solcoseryl in the form of an ointment.

If you plan to treat the oral mucosa, then keep in mind that the gel form is optimal for superficial lesions of the mucous membrane - shallow ulcers, burns, bedsores under dentures. But if the ulcer is deep enough, or you need to cure alveolitis in the hole of an extracted tooth, then in this case it is better to use another form of this drug - Solcoseryl dental paste.

Which is cheaper: Actovegin or Solcoseryl

Actovegin is a complete analogue of Solcoseryl. Its active ingredient is deproteinized calf blood dialysate. The release forms of Actovegin do not differ from those in which Solcoseryl can be found. Tablets and ampoules for intravenous administration are prescribed for the same indications. Actovegin is a prescription drug, like Solcoseryl. Therefore, they can be considered as the same substance, sold under different names. This means that when one of them is not available in the pharmacy, the pharmacist has every right to offer an analogue as a replacement. However, when comparing price categories, Solcoseryl should be given preference, because its cost is lower than Actovegina.

Solcoseryl gel – price, composition analysis

As in the situation with other drugs in the Solcoseryl line, the price for the gel form increased by 3-4 times in 2020-2021. What is the reason for this increase is not entirely clear to me, as a practicing doctor (after all, the drug has a very simple composition). For Solcoseryl gel the price will be from 2000 to 2700 rubles - as of mid-October 2022). The drug is available in aluminum tubes of 20 g. It is sold in pharmacies without a prescription.

Composition of Solcoseryl gel:

Composition analysis - the only active component of the gel is deproteinized dialysate from the blood of dairy calves, which is rich in a large number of low molecular weight organic compounds - amino acids, glycolipids, oligopeptides, nucleosides, etc. Studies have shown that this composition of organic compounds in Solcoseryl gel accelerates the healing process by approximately 30%. The latter is achieved, among other things, by stimulating angiogenesis and fibroblast function in damaged tissues.

Among the auxiliary components, you can pay attention to the preservatives - methyl parahydroxybenzoate (E218) and propyl parahydroxybenzoate (E216). They belong to a class of preservatives called parabens. As part of the gel, they cannot harm the body, but sometimes cause allergic reactions. You should be careful here only if you have severe allergic reactions to cosmetics and oral hygiene products, in which parabens are most often used.

Analogues –

Previously, Russian pharmacies sold the drug Actovegin, identical in composition, in the form of a jelly, which also contained dialysate from the blood of dairy calves (at the moment this form of the drug is no longer sold in Russia). Solcoseryl gel has no other direct analogues, but there are drugs with an excellent composition and similar effects.

All analogues can be divided into 2 groups. The first group of drugs are drugs for external use, intended to accelerate the healing of wounds on the skin (here we include Olazol and Bepanten). Preparations of the second group are products that are intended for use on the moist mucous membrane of the oral cavity (for example, Curasept “ADS 350 Regenerative” and “GengiGel” gel).

• OLAZOL (in the form of an aerosol) - this drug is suitable for accelerating the epithelization of skin wounds. It contains chloramphenicol, sea buckthorn oil and benzocaine (an anesthetic). Moreover, it not only accelerates tissue healing, but also has an antibacterial and analgesic effect, and also reduces the release of exudate from the wound. Due to the presence of an antibacterial effect, the drug can be used to treat infected wet wounds on the skin. The cost of the drug Olazol will be from 220 rubles.

• Cream BEPANTHEN PLUS – because Solcoseryl gel is intended for the treatment of wet wounds, then from the entire line of Bepanten preparations, we can only use Bepanten Plus cream on wet wounds. This drug contains 5% dexpanthenol (a precursor to vitamin B5, which stimulates skin regeneration), as well as the antiseptic chlorhexidine, which has an antimicrobial effect, thereby reducing the risk of infection. It is important that the concentration of chlorhexidine in Bepanten Plus cream is 0.5% (analogs are much lower). On wet wounds, it is most effective to apply the drug on turundas under a bandage - 2 or more times a day. Open treatment of wet wounds will be ineffective. The cost of Bepanten Plus cream is about 470 rubles for a 30 g tube, and a 100 g tube will cost about 950 rubles.

• CURASEPT “ADS 350 Regenerative” gel is designed to accelerate the healing of the oral mucosa. Contains hyaluronic acid to accelerate the healing of ulcers and wounds, as well as the PVP-VA complex, which forms a protective film on wound surfaces and ulcers (this protects their surface from irritants and also accelerates healing). It also contains the antiseptic chlorhexidine 0.5%. The cost of the gel is about 650 rubles - per 30 ml tube. Be careful when purchasing, because... in the Curasept line there is a gel with a similar name, but without hyaluronic acid.

• Oral gel "GengiGel" (GengiGel) is a gel for the mucous membrane of the gums and oral cavity, which contains 0.2% hyaluronic acid + xylitol. We have already said above that hyaluronic acid has a wound-healing effect. Unfortunately, in Russia this drug costs much more than the previous one (more than 1800 rubles for a 20 ml tube), and this despite the fact that its concentration of hyaluronic acid is much lower.

Reviews of Dimexide

In general, I tried this vaunted remedy - I smeared myself with dimexide and then applied solcoseryl for a whole hour, periodically moistening it with water... The author of this technique claimed that the next morning I would “wake up as a girl”)))) What can I say? No miracle happened. The wrinkles are all there. It even seems that they have become more clearly defined.

I tried everything to treat acne on my face. Unfortunately, I also decided to use Dimexide. Not only did the skin on my face burn, but subcutaneous acne also appeared. It was quiet horror. I didn't leave the house for a week. The depression was terrible. Now I try not to experiment.

I had tried different ointments before, but they weren’t very good, but solcoseryl really helped. I read the reviews on the Internet and at first I didn’t even believe that this was possible. Then I finally decided to buy a tube for 175 rubles - solcoseryl and dimexide cost 90 rubles. I did everything according to the instructions, but it didn’t work the first time, the effect was weak. On the second day I read that the ointment should be applied in a thick layer - in the end I was very pleased with the effect!!!
