Pharmacokinetics

When interacting with pathogenic microbes and bacteria, the membrane is destroyed, the nutrition and vital activity of the pathogen stops. The drug does not contain alcohol, so if it gets on the mucous membranes it does not cause a painful burn. Restrains the spread of anaerobic infection through the nasopharynx and respiratory tract.

The antibacterial component penetrates the bloodstream through the mucous membranes and passes through the tissues and lymph nodes of the body. A high concentration is recorded 5–6 hours after application. The substance does not react with enzymes and is excreted practically without changes or metabolism.

Reviews about Dioksidin

Reviews about Dioxidin are quite contradictory. Most patients to whom it was prescribed describe the drug as a very effective remedy, especially for diseases accompanied by a purulent-septic process .

Negative reviews are due to the fact that the drug is quite toxic (its therapeutic dose is only slightly less than the toxic one), and its use is often accompanied by unwanted side effects.

Reviews of the ointment allow us to conclude that Dioxidin in this dosage form does not cause irritation to the skin, stimulates tissue healing and generally has a beneficial effect on the wound process, however, with prolonged use, microorganisms develop resistance to the drug.

Dioxidin is used primarily as a reserve agent, that is, its help is resorted to only in extreme cases.

The instructions clearly indicate that the drug is intended exclusively for the treatment of adult patients, but it is often used to treat otolaryngological diseases in children.

Despite the fact that Dioxidin does not have an evidence base that would confirm the safety of its use in pediatrics, nasal drops, according to reviews left on the Internet, are a fairly effective remedy for such forms of pathological runny nose as, for example, purulent rhinitis .

Meanwhile, Dioxidin is not included in the standards for the treatment of ENT diseases , and there is no official data on its use as nasal drops. Thus, when prescribing this drug to a child, both the doctor and parents (if they agree with the prescribed treatment regimen) act at their own peril and risk.

It should be noted that until now, the use of the medicine has not been associated with any complications or negative consequences for the child’s body.

Storage conditions and periods

In a sealed ampoule, Dioxidin can be stored for up to 2 years from the date of production at room temperature not higher than 25° C. If the drug is in a cool room, it changes structure and crystallizes. To restore the liquid state, the drug is heated in a water bath.

The drops do not contain a preservative. After opening and preparing the solution, the ampoule must be used completely and not left for storage. Otherwise, the therapeutic effect disappears.

Efficiency: proven!

Dioxidin is one of the well-studied drugs that have proven their effectiveness in large-scale clinical trials. Experiments to study the activity of the antiseptic were carried out on the basis of 24 domestic medical institutions of various profiles. The drug was tested by infectious disease specialists, urologists, surgeons and, of course, otorhinolaryngologists - ENT doctors. More than six thousand volunteers took part in the overall study.

The results of the experiment showed that Dioxidin is highly effective, including in severe purulent-infectious processes, as well as immunity - resistance of bacteria to the action of antibiotics.

Research data shows that the medicine works in 75–91% of cases. Therefore, when used locally or intracavitarily, when side effects and toxicity inherent in the injection form practically do not appear, Dioxidin is considered one of the most effective antiseptics.

Analogues and cost

If a patient is allergic to the main substance, it is necessary to select an analogue that is safe for the body. Among the drugs with a similar principle of action are:

  • Diquinoxide;
  • Urotravenol;
  • Dioxysept.

These are powerful broad-spectrum antibiotics used to treat diseases of the nasopharynx affected by staphylococcus, streptococcus or Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

pharmachologic effect

The drug Dioxidin combines the properties of an antibiotic and an antiseptic and is recommended for topical use in the treatment of complicated runny nose.
