Antibacterial ointments are drugs that effectively kill pathogenic microflora or stop its further development. They have been used in medicine for many years. Such products are easy to obtain at any pharmacy, and often the attitude towards them is not as wary as towards drugs in the form of pills.

Description of funds

The choice of ointment usually does not require a test to identify an infectious agent. Such ointments are developed on the basis of antibiotics with a wide range of effects.

In addition, they are characterized by a small list of side effects, which in most situations are limited to individual intolerance in the form of allergic reactions. Next, we will consider the most popular antibacterial ointments with active molecules of bactericidal properties. It should be noted that almost all of the products listed below are affordable, and their price, as a rule, does not exceed one hundred rubles per tube.

The use of chloramphenicol ointment

The active component of this ointment is chloramphenicol, which kills staphylococcus, neisseria, streptococci, and in addition, enterobacteria along with shigella, klebsiella, rickettsia and certain groups of viruses. In medicine, it is used to treat pressure ulcers and pathological lesions of the upper layer of the skin. It is also used for skin necrosis. In addition, the presented ointment is effective in ophthalmic and cosmetic practice.

The use of tetracycline ointment

The active substance of this antibacterial ointment is the well-known tetracycline. This ointment can produce bacteriostatic effects on pathogenic strains. The remedy is active against most representatives of pathogenic microflora, which show their activity against the background of a decrease in immunity. Such an ointment cannot be prescribed for the treatment of mycoses and diseases that are caused by category "A" streptococci. This antibacterial eye ointment has gained wide popularity as a result of its proven efficacy and safety in the treatment of various inflammatory processes of the organs of vision.

Application of "Levosin"

This antibacterial ointment is a combination product that has antibacterial and analgesic effects. It is used in the presence of purulent lesions. This ointment is great for acne. It is permissible to prescribe it to pregnant women, but under the supervision of a doctor. Against the background of a three-day use of this medicinal ointment, patients' wounds are cleared and swelling subsides.

Antibacterial skin ointments are available at any drugstore.

Using erythromycin ointment

What other antibacterial skin ointments are known?

Application of "Zinerit"

What other preparations in the form of an ointment are used today?

Among the currently prescribed funds are the following antibacterial ointments:

• The use of terramycin ointment. This product contains oxytetracycline. This ointment is often used in the treatment of infected wounds.
• Using polymyxin ointment. This agent inhibits the growth of pathogenic flora, while the ointment is not toxic and can be safely used for external use. Basically, it is prescribed in a complex, in combination with other
• The use of Levomekol ointment is advisable in the presence of deep skin lesions, including abscesses and burns. This drug acts in a complex manner, and has an immunostimulating effect. This antibacterial intimate ointment can also be used.
• Using "Bactroban". This ointment is used in the treatment of diseases of the nasal passages. It is very effective against staphylococcus, and in addition, against methicillin-resistant strain.
• Use of "Gentaxan". This ointment is universal and is intended for the healing of all kinds of wounds, including purulent and traumatic skin lesions.
• Application of "Oflokain". This ointment contains a broad-spectrum antibiotic; it also contains an anesthetic. It is used mainly against the background of purulent inflammation.
• Application of "Baneocin". This remedy also includes an antibiotic and copes well with any inflammatory or purulent skin process. This ointment, due to its safety and lack of toxicity, is suitable for all patients, regardless of age. Antibacterial ointments for children can also be used.
• Using "Fastin". This drug also contains antibiotics and is often prescribed in the treatment of purulent inflammation of the skin, and in addition, in the presence of a recent burn. This ointment also contains an antiseptic.

In addition to the ointments already listed, there are other antibacterial agents on the pharmaceutical market that are actively used by patients. Noted:

Antibacterial intimate ointments and gels include: "Protact", "Levomekol", "Pantestin", "Ligenten", "Argosulfan".

So, as you can see from the above list, there are a large number of tools that help to cope with certain skin diseases. Next, let's figure out how these drugs act on the body.

The action of these medicines

A distinctive feature of drugs with external use is a lower degree of absorption in comparison with intravenous and intramuscular administration of drugs. But, despite the local effect, a small amount of the active ingredient enters the bloodstream, spreading throughout the human body. This factor requires taking into account concomitant pathologies, whether it is a violation in the functioning of the liver, kidneys, and so on.

Infections that threaten the patient's life require inpatient therapy under the strict supervision of a physician. Long-term use of antibacterial ointments can cause side effects in the body. For example, digestion may be disturbed, and it is also likely that symptoms such as confusion, pain syndrome, the development of dysbiosis, candidiasis, and the like are likely to be observed.

It is important to keep in mind that antibiotic ointments have the same level of antimicrobial activity as tablets. In addition, in the presence of individual intolerance to pills, allergic reactions will also manifest due to external agents. In addition, the resistance of pathogenic microorganisms to all forms of medicines is similar. This can be explained by the identical active ingredient in all versions of the release of a particular drug.

You should also strictly observe the total duration of the course prescribed by the doctor and not use antibacterial ointments only for symptomatic therapy. It is forbidden to independently interrupt the course, and in addition, skip treatment for more than twelve hours. Such tactics can lead to the formation of bacterial resistance to the active components of the medicinal ointment, which can also provoke relapses of the disease. The increase in the resistance of pathogenic organisms in relation to the active substances of ointments with antibacterial effect is a global problem of mankind that requires careful attention.

What diseases are they used for?

Indications for therapy with such ointments is the presence of bacterial lesions of the skin and mucous membranes. They can also be prescribed as prophylactic agents in order to prevent infection, for example, immediately after surgery or when receiving serious wounds. So, antibacterial ointments are prescribed for the following diagnoses:

• The development of purulent skin lesions, for example, against the background of abscesses caused by staphylococcus and other bacteria.
• The appearance of acne, acne and other cosmetic problems.
• The development of streptoderma - a skin lesion that is caused by streptococci.
• Development of purulent conjunctivitis.
• The presence of dental diseases.
• Getting burn wounds, and in addition, severe thermal lesions of the skin.
• The need to treat wounds immediately after an animal bite.
• The presence of bedsores.

It is important to note that topical antibiotic therapy is only effective when the infection does not spread further. Otherwise, such treatment is useless, and antibacterial ointments can only be used as an adjuvant. It is also worth citing cases in which their actions will not be enough: first of all, we are talking about sore throat, pharyngitis, laryngitis, sinusitis, purulent lesions of the skin and mucous membranes. In addition, these funds will be ineffective for scalded skin syndrome in infants, for trophic ulcers caused by thrombophlebitis and other diseases.

How to use antibacterial ointments correctly?

Treatment with ointments is often used in cosmetology in order to eliminate acne. But determining the need for such a treatment, choosing the right drug and setting the duration of the course is the task, first of all, of the cosmetologist. The fact is that such rashes do not always require radical therapy. Most often, antibacterial ointments are prescribed against the background of a pronounced and protracted process. However, they are always used as a comprehensive treatment. Thus, when treating skin problems, a holistic approach is extremely important. In addition, it should be borne in mind that any bacteria can develop resistance, as a result of which antibacterial healing ointments may stop helping.

There are contraindications. It is necessary to read the instructions or consult a specialist.

115. Sulfanilamide preparations. Classification. Pharmacokinetics. Mechanism of action. Application.

SULPHANYLAMIDE PREPARATIONS

A) Preparations, well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract with a resorptive effect:

a) short - streptocide, sulfadimezin, sulfacyl sodium (albucid), etazole;

b) long-term - sulfapyridazine, sulfadimethoxine (madribone);

c) ultra-long - sulfalene.

B) Preparations, poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, used to treat intestinal infections (it sits there for a long time and beats infections) - phthalazole.

IN) Combined drugs:

a) with salicylic acid (used to treat ulcerative colitis) - salazopyridazine, salazosulfapyridine;

b) with trimethoprim - co-trimoxazole (bactrim, biseptol).

D) Preparations for topical application- streptocide, sulfacyl sodium and other sodium salts of sulfonamides.

Pharmacokinetics .

Suction. Slightly in the stomach and mainly in the colon, they have high lipophilicity (30 minutes after administration they are already found in the urine).

Bioavailability is high, 70-90%.

Biotransport. Reversibly bind to serum albumin. CASS CA / protein is directly proportional to the degree of hydrophobicity. CA can displace other drugs simultaneously prescribed from the connection with the protein, in particular NSAIDs and endogenous substances (bilirubin).

Distribution. CA pass through the histohematogenous, placental and blood-brain barriers. It is better through the BBB if there is an inflammatory process. Also pass into breast milk.

Biotransformation.

Mechanism of action The mechanism is based on structural similarity to PABA, which is required for the synthesis of dihydrofolic acid. Sulfonamides competitively displace folic acid from the synthesis process and cannot perform the function of PABA. As a result, the synthesis of THPK is disrupted, which leads to inhibition of the synthesis of nucleic acids of microorganisms and manifests itself in a delay in the growth and development of microbes.

Indications . Often prescribed in combination with antibiotics.

Urinary tract infections.

Biliary tract infections.

ENT infections.

Infections of the broncho-pulmonary system.

Intestinal infections (in particular toxoplasmosis, malaria).

Wound infections.

Combined sulfa drugs.

Mechanism actions . Biseptolum-480 (co-trimazole) contains 400 mg of sulfamethoxazole and 80 mg of trimethoprim. The mechanism of action of the combined preparation is based on the principle of disruption of the synthesis of nucleic acids at two points: 1- at the level of inclusion of CA - a component in PABA. 2- at the level of formation of tetrahydrofolic acid due to inhibition of the enzyme DHF - reductase. Due to this, Biseptol has a bactericidal effect.

Features of the combination of CA drugs.

They are effective even in conditions of resistance to CA drugs.

Combination drug resistance develops more slowly.

Side effects.

Dyspeptic disorders.

Skin rashes.

Sometimes superinfection.

Decreased fertility (rare).

NS - trimoxazole (Co-Trimoxazole, Biseptol). Contains two active principles - sulfametaxazole and trimethoprim, which potentiate the antimicrobial effect of each other. The drug is active against many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including those resistant to sulfa drugs. Assign inside: adults and children over 12 years old - 2 tablets 2 times a day; children - 2-4 children's tablets 2 times a day.

116. Principles of sulfonamide therapy. Undesirable effects. Conditions

rational appointment.

Sulfanilamide (SA) - synthetic chemotherapeutic agents that are derivatives of sulfonamide (sulfonic acid amide).

R-radical - position at the end of the chain and indicates the difference between sulfa drugs. NH 2 - must be without substituents and provides antimicrobial activity. The first drug received: red streptocide (1935).

General properties:

They have a similar structure.

General mechanism of action.

The general spectrum of antibacterial action.

They have a bacteriostatic effect on microorganisms.

Conditions necessary for the manifestation of the mechanism of action:

Microorganisms can use sulfanilamide instead of PABA if their concentration in tissues is 20-100 times higher than PABA.

In the presence of pus, blood and tissue degradation products, the effectiveness of sulfonamide is sharply reduced due to the high concentration of PABA in these products.

They have an antimicrobial effect only against those microorganisms that themselves synthesize folic acid.

In microorganisms resistant to CA, an enhanced synthesis of PABA is observed.

The use of CA in low concentrations promotes the formation of resistance of microorganism strains and leads to the ineffectiveness of CA.

Spectrum of action: Wide enough. Bacteria: pathogenic cocci, intestinal group, causative agent of especially dangerous infections: cholera, plague, diphtheria. Chlamydia: trachoma, the causative agent of inguinal lymphogranuloma. Actinomycetes: drugs inhibit the growth and reproduction of pathogens of systemic mycoses. The simplest: toxoplasmosis.

Complications of pharmacotherapy .

CNS: nausea, vomiting, headache, depression, increased fatigue.

Blood: leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis, methemoglobinemia, hemolytic anemia.

Kidneys: oliguria, proteinuria, hematuria, crystalluria.

Kidney disorders can be prevented:

plentiful drink 3-5 liters per day;

drink with alkaline mineral waters.

Allergic reactions: fever, itching, rash, joint pain.

The use of antibiotics for the treatment of external injuries and inflammatory processes is accompanied by certain disorders in the field of digestion and the human immune system.

In case of damage to the skin, in order to avoid side effects, it is recommended to use antibacterial skin ointments. Unlike tablets or injections, the ointment does not enter the blood and lymph, acting only on the inflammation focus.

The principle of action of antibacterial ointments is to prevent cell division of pathogenic microorganisms. Thus, the infection stops, bacteria do not multiply and cannot infect other parts of the epidermis.

Also, ointments have anti-inflammatory and healing effects. For any skin damage, regardless of the cause, the use of antibacterial ointments is considered the most effective treatment.

Types of antibacterial ointments

Several types of antibiotic ointments are identified:

• Aminoglycoside;
• Chloramphenicol;
• Lincosamide;
• Macrolide.

Antibacterial ointments are intended for the treatment of skin diseases.

• skin lesions caused by bacteria;
• bites, injuries, burns, which were aggravated by the appearance of pathogenic microorganisms;
• otitis externa;
• eye diseases;
• furunculosis;
• acne;
• ulcers;
• streptoderma;
• purulent wounds;
• eczema;
• diseases in the intimate area.

Contraindications

Before using the medicine, it is important to know the main contraindications in order to avoid negative consequences:

• allergy to the components of the ointment;
• oncology;
• cutaneous tuberculosis;
• children under 8 years old;
• pregnant women (only after consulting a doctor).

Mode of application

For various injuries of the skin, antibacterial skin ointments are used.

For example:

Side effects

Since antibiotic ointments do not penetrate into the bloodstream, the harm from them is therefore minimal.

This is mainly discomfort in the area of ​​application:

• burning;
• redness.

Overdose

With prolonged use of the drug, an overdose may occur, accompanied by:

• nausea;
• vomiting;
• kidney damage;
• disorders of the cardiovascular system.

In such cases, the drug is replaced by an analogue or the dosage is reduced.

The use of ointments during pregnancy and lactation

During pregnancy and lactation, antibiotic preparations are used only under medical supervision. He should know: how the pregnancy proceeds, anamnesis, the results of all tests, allergic reactions. And in accordance with these data, prescribe drugs containing an antibiotic. The safest will be antibiotics from the macrolide group.

When feeding a baby, mothers often suffer from cracked nipples. In this case, Levomycetin ointment is used. Antibiotics should be used with extreme caution, as some of them pass into breast milk. The least toxic antibiotics for the baby and mother are macrolides.

Application for children

Many antibiotic ointments are strictly prohibited for children under 12 years of age. If the child is injured, then in order to avoid infection, it is better to use an antiseptic. With streptoderma in childhood, you can use Levomekol or Zinc ointment with chloramphenicol. But pre-treat the skin with brilliant green or fucorcin.

Also, chloramphenicol ointment and Erythromycin will help with eye diseases. Newborns are allowed to use such funds only after 4 weeks from birth. And children under 3 years old - strictly under the supervision of a doctor.

The use of aminoglycoside ointments

Topical aminoglycoside preparations include ointments:

• Gentamicin;
• Framycetin;
• Neomycin;
• Tombramycin.

They are used in the fields of ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology. Treat purulent infections caused by bacteria.

For example:

• conjunctivitis;
• blepharitis;
• uveitis;
• otitis externa;
• rhinitis or sinusitis.

The use of chloramphenicol ointments

The chloramphenicol group includes ointments:

• Levomycetin;
• Fulevil;
• Levomekol.

Levomycetin ointments are widely used in the treatment of skin diseases such as:

• boils;
• ulcers;
• bacterial eczema;
• bedsores;
• necrosis;
• burns.

These funds completely kill germs and accelerate the regeneration process of the skin.

They are also used in ophthalmology. Cope with eye diseases such as:

• conjunctivitis;
• barley;
• trachoma;
• keratitis;
• blepharitis.

The use of lincosamide ointments

The lincosamide group of topical preparations includes ointments:

• Lincomycin - Akos;
• Dalatsin;
• Klindavid.

These funds are used in inflammatory processes with the formation of pus.

Treat effectively:

• furunculosis;

The use of macrolide ointments

Macrolide antibiotics are considered the safest for the human body.

These antibacterial skin ointments include:

• Altrocin - S;
• Erythromycin ointment.

Antibiotics, which are part of the ointments, disrupt the vital activity of microorganisms, suppressing protein synthesis. As a result, pathogenic bacteria die. These drugs have anti-inflammatory properties and activate the immune system.

They are used in the treatment of diseases such as:

• syphilis and gonorrhea;
• eye diseases;
• youthful acne;
• burns;
• ulcers;
• conjunctivitis.

Ointments for wounds

Antibacterial skin ointments are used to quickly regenerate the epidermis, and also prevent the risk of infection and suppuration of wounds. Since the skin serves to protect the body from viruses and pathogenic microbes in case of abrasions, cuts and other injuries.

With such violations of the integrity of the skin, preparations of various groups of antibiotics are used:

1. From the aminoglycoside group: Baneocin. Its antibiotics destroy fusobacteria and gram-negative microorganisms. Works effectively under the bandage. Use 2-3 times in 24 hours. The duration of the course is from 5 to 8 days. Use with caution during pregnancy;
2. From chloramphenicol emit: Fulevil. Thinly smear under the bandage and change it once every 24 hours. The course of treatment is from 1 to 3 weeks. Do not use in case of excessive sensitivity to chloramphenicol;
3. Of the lincosamide, lincomycin ointment is used. It is applied to the treated wounds 2 times a day for a week. Do not use in case of kidney and liver diseases;
4. Of the macrolide, erythramycin ointment is suitable. Lubricate open wounds 3 times a day, preferably under a bandage. Treatment lasts from 2 weeks to 3-4 months.
5. Antibacterial ointments with a healing effect Nitacid and Rescuer are also used.

Ointments for purulent wounds

An untimely and insufficiently qualified wound becomes infected with bacteria:

• streptococcus;
• staphylococcus;
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Escherichia coli.

To stop the development of bacteria, treatment must begin immediately after a skin lesion, so that antibacterial ointments provide the necessary assistance in the early stages of suppuration. With such lesions, an integrated approach is required.

Ointments for wounds in diabetes mellitus

A person suffering from diabetes mellitus needs to carefully monitor the condition of the skin. Since wounds with such a diagnosis heal very slowly. The risk of contracting infections is very high.

With the purulent stage of wounds, such antibacterial skin ointments will help:

1. Levomekol. The antibiotic chloramphenicol contained in the ointment actively fights microbes. And dioxomethyltetrahydropyrimidine promotes dermis regeneration. The drug should be applied a couple of times a day until the wounds are completely healed;
2. Levosin. Combined remedy. It has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. Use 2 times a day until complete recovery.

Ointments for cracks

Any, even the smallest damage to the skin, can become conduits for infections in the body. To avoid infection, you need to treat abrasions or cracks with antibacterial ointments.

Suitable for this:

Ointments for acne

Ointments with antibiotics for acne are used after consulting a doctor, who will determine the causative agents of the infection and prescribe the scheme and duration of the course of treatment.

1. Synthomycin ointment. Apply to acne up to 2 times in 24 hours for 4-5 days. Contraindications: pregnant women and during lactation, newborns, with diseases of the blood, kidneys and liver;
2. Tetracycline ointment. Apply twice a day. The course varies from a week to a month. The drug is prohibited for children under 10 years of age;
3. Erythromycin ointment. Lubricate acne up to 2-3 times in 24 hours. The course is 7-10 days. Not allowed for children under 10 years old;
4. Baneocin. Apply pointwise to problem areas 2-3 times a day for a week.

Ointments for acne

Many antibacterial skin ointments cope with such a pathological problem as acne.

The most common ones are:

Ointments for papules

A nodular formation that rises above the dermis is called a papule. Single or multiple localized in different parts of the body on the skin or mucous membranes. Intimate areas are also affected.

The following are considered effective treatments:

1. Baziron. Apply gently to formations up to 2 times in 24 hours. The course lasts up to 3 months. Contraindicated in children under 12 years of age;
2. Differin. Once a day, smear with a thin layer before bedtime. The treatment lasts within 2-3 months. Contraindicated in children under 12 years of age;
3. Skinoren. Lightly rub into the affected areas 2 times in 24 hours. The course of treatment ranges from 4 weeks.

Ointments for injuries in the mouth

The mucous membrane of the human mouth is a breeding ground for a huge number of microbes. Habitual oral hygiene is not always enough to keep the mucous membranes in order.

The formation of sores or wounds brings discomfort and pain, in the fight against which they will help:

Ointments for mucosal damage

The mucous membrane of the nose is damaged by a long runny nose or trauma, due to which crusts, bleeding, and wounds form. In such cases, the ENT prescribes special ointments that promote rapid regeneration of the nasal mucosa.

1. Levomekol. Lubricate the mucous membrane up to 2 times 24 hours before recovery;
2. Levosin. Apply up to 2 times 24 hours before recovery.

Hormonal ointments

With itching, swelling, allergic reactions on the skin, topical hormonal preparations also work well. They are prescribed for prolonged inflammatory processes in the dermis. These drugs are based on glucocorticosteroids and prevent the release of histamine from mast cells.

The use of ointments is justified for diseases:

Contraindications for use:

• allergic reaction after vaccination;
• fungal skin diseases;
• sexually transmitted diseases;
• tuberculosis;
• scabies;
• acne;
• herpes;
• shingles;
• helminthiasis;
• children under 9 years old;
• pregnant women with caution.

Ointment is applied to the affected areas of the epidermis. Avoid the skin around the eyes. The drug is used for no more than 1 month.

Folk antibacterial skin products

For the treatment of skin diseases, not only antibacterial skin ointments are used, but also folk remedies that are no less effective.

1. Soda. Take in a 1: 1 ratio with water, mix and apply on the face for 20 minutes. The mask prevents the development of infections;
2. Vinegar (apple cider). Dissolve 4-5 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of plain water and rinse your face with this water after washing;

How antibacterial acne ointments work:

Antibiotic ointments have been used in medicine for many years. They are easy to buy at any pharmacy and are often not treated as seriously as pills. Is it possible to use such drugs without a doctor's prescription, and in what cases they are really necessary, the MedAboutMe portal sorted out.

The most common antibiotic ointments

The fact is that such rashes do not always require such radical treatment. Most often, antibacterial ointments are prescribed with a pronounced and protracted process. However, they always go as part of complex therapy. Along with them, drugs are prescribed that eliminate the causes of the development of infection - increased oily skin, poor immunity, and so on. Also, the patient must be prescribed an appropriate therapeutic diet.

The effect of antibiotics for acne is quite pronounced - the rash disappears, the inflammation decreases. However, without an integrated approach to treatment, the activity of a bacterial infection quickly resumes. In addition, bacteria develop resistance, as a result, the ointments cease to help even for a short period.
