Instructions for use of Streptotsid liniment ointment - indications and contraindications

One of the most common external broad-spectrum antibacterial agents is streptocide liniment. The drug belongs to the group of sulfonamides and has long been used to treat infected wounds. Streptocide is a time-tested antibiotic. According to patients, it is effective against many microorganisms that cause inflammatory diseases. And for external use, streptocide liniment is often used. The instructions recommend using it for any purulent-inflammatory processes on the skin.

Release form and composition

The drug is produced in the form of liniment: white or white with a creamy tint, with a characteristic odor (25, 30, 35 or 50 g in an aluminum tube, 30 g in a polyethylene laminate tube, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 or 50 g in a dark glass jar, in a cardboard box 1 tube or jar and instructions for use of Streptocide soluble).

1 g of liniment contains:

active ingredient (depending on the manufacturer): sodium mesulfamide or sodium sulfonamide (soluble streptocide) – 0.05 g (based on 100% substance);
additional components: purified water, emulsifier No. 1 (Lanette SX, NEOWAX SX), glycerol (distilled glycerin).

Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

Liniment Streptocide soluble is an antimicrobial bacteriostatic drug belonging to the group of sulfonamides. The mechanism of action of the drug is determined by competitive antagonism with para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), suppression of the activity of the enzyme dihydropteroate synthetase, disruption of the production of tetrahydrofolic acid, which is necessary for the formation of purines and pyrimidines.

The drug demonstrates activity against Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., including S. pyogenes, S. pneumoniae, Brucella spp., Legionella spp.; Escherichia coli, Shigella spp., Clostridium perfringens, Vibrio cholerae, Bacillus anthracis, Yersinia pestis, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Actinomyces israelii, Toxoplasma gondii, Chlamydia spp.; additionally for sodium sulfonamide – Klebsiella spp., Proteus spp., Salmonella spp., Serratia spp., Nocardia asteroids, Calymmatobacterium granulomatis.

When treating the skin, the drug helps accelerate the epithelization of erosions and wound healing.

The liquid form of the drug, which is used externally, is called liniment. This name comes from the Latin word “to spread.” Liniment is a thick liquid or a harder, gelatinous substance. But the peculiarity of these products is that upon contact with the human body they melt and become liquid. This ensures deeper penetration of the active substance under the skin. Therefore, liniment is considered more effective than ointment or cream.

Such products can be produced on different bases: alcohol, oil, fat. For example, streptocide liniment is a suspension of powder dissolved in fish oil. The basis of this drug also has a healing effect. Liniment auxiliary substances are emulsifiers and stabilizers added to maintain the homogeneity of the substance.

This is one of the first broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs. Streptocide is also called sulfanilamide. It has a bacteriostatic effect. A special feature of the drug is that it is included in the metabolism of microorganisms and disrupts the synthesis of nucleic acids necessary for their growth. This leads to the death of bacteria.

Soluble streptocide (liniment) is a fast-acting drug, therefore it effectively cleanses tissue of infection and stimulates healing. This sulfonamide is active against staphylococci, streptococci, gonococci, E. coli, as well as Shigella, Chlamydia, Proteus and Toxoplasma. Treatment with this drug is ineffective in case of infection with enterococci, anaerobic bacteria, fungi and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

This drug is a thick, oily suspension of white color with a yellowish tint. It is produced in tubes of 30 grams. The average price in Russian pharmacies is 80 rubles. The main active ingredient of the drug is soluble streptocide. Liniment contains 50 mg of it, that is, in a five percent concentration. The composition also includes auxiliary components:

purified cod fish oil;
emulsifier based on cetyl and stearyl alcohol;
sodium carboxymethylcellulose stabilizer;

When streptocide is applied to the skin, liniment accelerates wound healing, which is noted by many users. The drug promotes faster epithelization and reduction of erosive lesions. Its peculiarity is that the drug is absorbed only through the damaged surface.

This drug is produced by various pharmaceutical companies. Its composition and color may vary slightly. The drug contains: soluble streptocide, stabilizer, emulsifier, fish oil and distilled water. Various substances can be used as emulsifiers and stabilizers, which does not affect the effectiveness of the drug. Now the production of streptocide liniment is becoming unprofitable, since its main component is scarce cod oil. But still, this drug is much cheaper than most antibacterial ointments.

Streptocide in liniment is used in the form of a paste: first it is mixed with fish oil, and then all other substances are added. This makes the technological process of producing the drug quite complex.

Another disadvantage of streptocide liniment is that the stabilizers used cannot ensure long-term storage of the drug. In addition, at temperatures above 15 degrees it begins to melt, and an orange film forms on the surface of the product - reviews repeatedly indicate this. The same oxide appears when liniment is stored for more than six months in its original packaging.

The drug should not be exposed to low temperatures. After freezing, the liniment stratifies, and its homogeneous structure is then not restored. This drug cannot be used.

Streptocide liniment is effective for any purulent-inflammatory skin diseases caused by microorganisms. It is prescribed for:

infected wounds;
ulcers and skin cracks that do not heal for a long time;
bedsores, skin grafts;
1st and 2nd degree burns;
superficial pyoderma;
acne, impetigo;
boils and carbuncles;
erysipelas.

Previously, liniment streptocide was often used against acne on the face, acne and furunculosis. Now it is being replaced with more effective and safe drugs. And some doctors do not recommend applying streptocide to the face due to the possibility of developing allergic reactions.

Sulfanilamide is a powerful chemotherapy drug that often causes side effects. When used externally, they are not so pronounced, but still not everyone can use streptocide soluble liniment. The instructions do not recommend prescribing the drug for:

pregnancy and breastfeeding;
under 12 years of age;
renal failure;
diseases of the hematopoietic system;
anemia;
Graves' disease;
individual intolerance to sulfonamide drugs.

The medicine in the form of liniment is quickly absorbed and therefore works effectively. But because of this, it can cause allergic reactions. In case of individual intolerance, rash, dermatitis or urticaria may appear. About 10% of the active substance penetrates the blood and can cause systemic side effects. In some cases, the patient experiences nausea, headaches, and upset bowel movements. With kidney diseases, their functioning may be impaired. Very rarely, changes in blood composition, cyanosis, tachycardia and numbness of the extremities were observed.

How many times to apply the drug and how long the treatment will last is determined by the doctor, depending on the severity of the disease and the individual characteristics of the patient. Streptocide (liniment) is used in different ways. The instructions for use recommend applying it to the affected surface in a thin layer. The maximum dose for adult patients is 2 grams. In severe cases, it is possible to use liniment streptocide directly under a gauze bandage. It needs to be changed 1-2 times a day. Streptocide liniment should not be used for more than two weeks. But basically this is not required, since relief of the condition is observed after 3-4 days, and epithelization of the ulcers begins within a week.

Before using liniment for the first time, it is necessary to check the patient's response to the drug. To do this, a small scratch is applied to the forearm, and streptocide is applied to it. If no allergic reactions occur after 15 minutes, the drug can be used.

Sulfanilamide comes in different forms. For external use, powder, streptocide liniment, and ointment can be used. The instructions recommend that you trust the choice of drug to a specialist. The drug in the form of liniment is liquid, so in some cases it is inconvenient to apply to the skin. And then you can choose streptocidal ointment. It is based on petroleum jelly, but its effectiveness is explained by a higher concentration of sulfonamide.

In addition to streptocidal ointment, there is a drug based on this antibiotic called Sunoref. This ointment contains camphor, ephedrine, eucalyptus oil and is used to treat various types of runny nose.

There are also analogues of liniment with a similar antibacterial effect:

“Streptonitol” is a drug that, in addition to streptocide, contains nitazol.
"Dermazin" is an effective ointment based on sulfonamide.
"Silvederm" is a cream, aerosol or ointment containing sulfadiazine.
"Argosulfan" is an ointment based on sulfathiazole.
Sodium Sulfacyl is used to treat eye infectious diseases.

It is not advisable to use the drug yourself. After all, there are some features that need to be taken into account when using soluble streptocide (liniment). Instructions for use indicate them:

treatment should not be interrupted earlier than prescribed by the doctor, otherwise microorganisms may develop resistance to the action of sulfonamides;
if allergic reactions and other side effects occur, the use of the drug should be discontinued;
streptocide liniment should not be used together with novocaine, since the latter weakens the effect of sulfonamide;
During treatment, it is undesirable to take Digitoxin, Phenobarbital, Caffeine and Adrenaline;
The drug should be stored in the refrigerator, but should not be frozen.

Liniment based on Streptocide is an effective antibacterial drug for external use. It is produced by pharmaceutical companies in the form of a thick ointment that has a distinct medicinal odor without additional impurities. The drug is completely white. It belongs to the category of medications of the sulphilamide group, which makes it especially effective in the fight against microorganisms such as meningococcal, pneumococcal, streptococcal, gonococcal infections, as well as E. coli. A positive therapeutic effect in the fight against other types of bacterial strains has been scientifically proven. The drug is used in all areas of medicine where there is an urgent need to suppress pathogenic microflora that has entered an open wound area of the body.

Liniment of this type, which is soluble in its chemical and pharmaceutical properties, is an ointment that has a homogeneous structure with an average degree of viscosity. The main component of Streptocide balm, which has an antiseptic effect, is the substance sulfanilamide. This is a universal, broad-spectrum antibiotic that allows for complete rehabilitation of an ulcer in a short period of time without using surgical methods.

Liniment streptocide 5% ointment is produced in an aluminum tube with a total weight of 30 grams, packed in a cardboard box, or in a jar containing 1800 grams of ointment. The container is made of dark glass (this type of packaging is intended for selling medicine in wholesale quantities and making direct deliveries to healthcare institutions where there is a daily consumption of this product in large volumes). The cost of liniment based on Streptocide is in the range of 95-100 rubles.

The main purpose of the soluble liniment, which includes Streptocide, is to suppress bacterial microflora so that there is no further progression of the disease with a deterioration in the clinical picture of its course. The drug helps if a person has the following pathologies:

inflammation of the cerebral cortex caused by cerebrospinal or epidemic meningitis (this type of damage to one of the main organs is characterized by the formation of purulent exudate, which begins to accumulate directly under the surface of the skull);
erysipelas of the epithelial tissues of the skin, when the disease quickly develops and covers more and more areas of the dermis;
infectious infection of internal organs, where there is a constant accumulation of infectious agents that become active after the weakening of the protective resources of the patient’s immune system (in the area of the colon, rectum, anus);
inflammatory processes on the mucous membrane of the walls of the bladder (acute or chronic cystitis, urethritis);
for acne, the liniment of Streptocide has proven its effectiveness in cleansing the skin of foreign tumors, the appearance of which is mostly also associated with the invasion of microbes into the epithelium;
trophic ulcers of varying severity, as well as wounds that do not heal for a long time due to the presence of an abundant accumulation of infectious agents in their tissues.

Most doctors practice the use of soluble liniment Streptocide in patients who suffer from vomiting and nausea of unknown origin.

The patient takes the dose of medicine prescribed by the doctor orally with a small amount of warm water. This kind of therapeutic techniques is entirely the initiative of the attending physician and is used under his responsibility, since the manufacturer positions the medication as an ointment intended exclusively for external treatment of the body. Depending on the type of illness, it is possible to use the drug in the presence of other health problems.

In order to treat a wound surface or an inflamed area of the body, it is recommended to follow the following instructions and instructions established by the manufacturer of the medicine:

Apply the ointment to the tip of your finger, which is most convenient to use for lubricating the skin, and rub the epithelial surface so that the medication is distributed over the skin in an even, uniform layer.
Wait until the ointment is completely absorbed and its active substances begin to interact with pathogens (on average, you will have to wait no more than 5-10 minutes).
Apply a sterile dressing made from a cut of bandage, or leave the wound open. In each individual case, a consultation with the attending physician is carried out and only a specialist in the appropriate field can determine the procedure for carrying out therapy.

Soluble liniment based on Streptocide can act as medicinal compresses, when the required amount of medication is applied to a dense layer of gauze, and then the fabric soaked in an antiseptic is attached directly to the diseased area of the body.

Each disease is considered as an individual case of the development of the disease and, accordingly, the treatment mechanism is also different, and most often it is developed individually for each patient.

Streptocide in the form of soluble liniment has a number of side effects, the occurrence of which is extremely rare, but nevertheless, in the course of multiple clinical trials, as well as directly in medical practice, similar precedents have been encountered. There are the following medical contraindications to the use of ointment based on Streptocide:

pathologies of the hematopoietic system (severe forms of kidney disease, when this organ only partially copes with its function of purifying the blood, Graves' disease, organic bone marrow damage);
the patient’s tendency to exhibit allergic reactions to drugs belonging to the pharmacological group “sulfonamides”;
diseases of the thyroid gland, the presence of which has led to a decrease in the production by this organ of the endocrine system, hormonal substances involved in metabolic processes and affecting the accumulation of nutrients by the skin that enter the patient’s body along with food;
the state of pregnancy, regardless of the trimester of gestation, as well as lactation of the newborn with breast milk (for the period of treatment, you can stop feeding the baby with breast milk and temporarily express it, and upon completion of therapy, resume the lactation process again).

Children under 3 years of age also do not use Streptocide in the form of a soluble liniment as a medicine. This is an exhaustive list of contraindications that are mandatory even for patients whose illness is not classified as severe.

Side effects manifest themselves in the form of the following reactions of the body to the use of this medication:

headache, temporary memory loss and dizziness;
severe vomiting and persistent nausea associated with lack of appetite;
various allergic reactions, ranging from the formation of a red rash on the surface of the skin and ending with bronchial spasm, or the onset of anaphylactic shock;
a sharp decrease in the number of leukocytes in the blood;
numbness of the lower and upper extremities;
development of tachycardia and arrhythmia;
blue discoloration of the skin and tissues located around the mouth.

If you strictly follow the indicated dosage and follow all the doctor’s instructions, then in most cases it is possible to avoid any side effects of the drug.

In most cases, patients who have undergone a course of therapy using soluble Streptocide liniment speak positively about the drug and its antiseptic properties. The positive opinion of patients about Streptocide ointment is justified by the fact that the medication allows you to completely suppress the development of bacteria in the wound in just 5-7 days and thereby speed up the process of its complete healing.

There are the following medications that belong to the category of similar medications in terms of their chemical formula and effect of use.

Sunuref ointment;
Streptocide in the form of a white powder, on the basis of which an ointment is already prepared, or antibacterial solutions for washing the wound surface.

Despite the availability of high-quality analogues, it is not recommended to independently replace the treatment agent used in order to maintain the positive therapeutic effect in treatment.

Photo of instructions for use of streptocide soluble liniment, part 2

After shaving carelessly, I gave myself an infection and developed folliculitis. Against the background of this illness, I had a strong burning sensation and a rash on my chin. In addition, when I touched my neck, it also hurt a lot, and probably the lymph nodes were also inflamed. The doctor prescribed me Dicloxacillin, Liniment Streptocide soluble, Erythromycin. I had to take all prescribed medications for 10 days. The treatment went well, none of the prescribed drugs caused any side effects.

Anastasia Strelkova, Vladimir

Due to increased sweating, my husband developed inflammation in his shoulder. At first a pimple just appeared, then it gradually began to grow. It no longer looks like an ordinary pimple. So we had to see a doctor. The doctor looked and said it was a carbuncle. Prescribed Streptocide soluble. This drug is not very pleasant to take, as there is a long preparation process. First you need to cut sterile gauze, then soak it with the drug. And only after that apply a bandage to the affected area. This is such a long process. But, despite this, soluble Streptocide helps a lot and is inexpensive. Everything went away on the 5th day. On the very first day after applying the bandage, I noticed that the carbuncle became smaller and the inflammatory process was eliminated.

Roman Belov, Moscow

This drug does not help with burns. I had a severe burn on my hand, and I started applying bandages with this drug. But the bandage gave me a strong burning sensation that could last for 2-3 hours. The second time I simply did not dare to apply a bandage with this product.

Pavel Novikov, Kolchugino

I once used Streptocide soluble liniment to treat my child. There were some strange formations on his hair, something similar to a pustule due to psoriasis, but there was no peeling. Over time, ulcers began to form, so they urgently consulted a pediatrician. He referred us to a more specialized specialist, a pediatric dermatologist. As a result, a diagnosis of “staphylococcal impetigo” was made. The name scared me, because I don’t know what it is. Treatment was prescribed. Make bandages with this drug and apply to the head. The doctor said if these blisters don’t go away, they will have to be opened. Thank God, we passed, although we were treated for a long time, since we were only prescribed this drug.

Yan Yakushev, Chekhov

With a thickened carbuncle, this drug does not help at all. It causes a strong burning sensation and an allergic reaction. We now have to fight the carbuncle with other methods, as well as treat allergies.

Lyubov Simonova, Pervouralsk

My child received a first-degree burn, and the doctor prescribed Streptocide soluble liniment. We made the dressings as per the instructions. The drug helps, but only weakly. The burn took a very long time to pass.

Dima Kotov, Moscow

Once again I was convinced that you should not trust your acquaintances. So I had a carbuncle, and not just one, but several. They all jumped up in different places for me. At first I tried to get rid of them using folk methods (advice from friends), but the result was negative, only the appearance of allergies. I bought the drug for myself and immediately noticed a positive effect. I felt much better, but due to severe suppuration I had to perform a surgical autopsy. Liniment Streptocide helped me relieve inflammation, and this is great, and not that these folk methods, who even invented them?

Streptocide belongs to the antimicrobial drugs of the sulfonamide group. Effective for many diseases caused by the spread of pathogenic bacterial flora.

Not everyone knows what Streptocide helps with. Sulfonamide-based drugs are recommended for use in:

Infected wound surfaces of various origins
1st and 3rd degree burns
Treatment of acne vulgaris
Boils and carbuncles
Impetigo and other pustular dermatological diseases
Meningitis (epidemic and cerebrospinal type)
Cystitis
Erysipelas
Pielite.

Also, an antimicrobial drug can be used for vomiting or unconsciousness.

One dose of the medicine contains white streptocide (2 g).

1 g of liniment contains an active monocomponent, represented by sulfanilamide, its mass fraction in the drug is 50 mg. Also present:

Polysorbate
Prepared water
Emulsifier
Fish oil
Butylated hydroxyanisole.

Streptocide powder is small milky-white granules without a specific odor, packaged in 2 g bags.

Liniment is presented as a homogeneous whitish suspension (not liquid consistency), odorless. The drug is sold in tube bottles of 30 g.

Streptocide is an antibacterial drug characterized by a wide spectrum of action. Like other sulfonamides, it stops the spread of pathogenic microorganisms by disrupting the formation of growth factors (dehydrophilic and folic acid, as well as a number of other compounds, including para-aminobenzoic acid).

Since para-aminobenzoic acid is similar in chemical structure to streptocide, the latter enters into metabolic transformations and disrupts their progress, which leads to the subsequent death of microbes. The drug exhibits a bacteriostatic effect, the drug is active against Proteus, chlamydia, streptococci and other microorganisms. Such characteristics allow the product to be used to quickly eliminate signs of bacterial infection (hyperemia, swelling, suppuration, itching).

The drug is used for wounds and erosive surfaces, as it accelerates the process of regeneration and epithelization of the affected areas.

It is recommended to use Streptocide in powder after preliminary dilution (1 injection will require up to 100 ml of sodium chloride or prepared water). The medicine (1-2% solution) is injected under the skin or into the muscle twice or three times a day.

Before using Streptocid intravenously, the powder is diluted with distilled water or saline (a medicinal solution is made) and subsequently 2-5-10% drugs are used. It is also possible to dilute the drug with a 1% glucose solution to a volume of 20-30 ml. The medicine is administered 1-2 times. within 24 hours.

The drug is used internally as Streptocide tablets; the instructions provide a regimen for use for adults and children. Adults are prescribed a dosage of 0.5 g per day, which is taken in 5-6 doses. Daily doses for children:

Up to 12 months — 0.05-0.1 g
Children from 2 to 5 years old - prescribe 0.2-0.3 g of the drug
Children from 6 to 12 years old are recommended to take 0.3-0.5 g.

Price for ointment: from 55 to 130 rubles.

Not everyone knows how to properly use Streptocide soluble in the form of an ointment, for which bandages are applied. Soluble liniment exhibits regenerating properties, accelerates the healing of damage after wounds, and is effective against erosions on mucous membranes. Apply the medicine in an even layer, then cover with sterile cotton wool and secure the bandage with a bandage. Subsequent dressing will be required after 1-2 days. Apply liniment until the wounds are completely healed.

Use during pregnancy, GW

In the case of systemic absorption, the main active substance penetrates the placenta and enters the fetal blood, which can provoke toxic effects. There is no information about the safety of using drugs during pregnancy.

When taken orally, sulfonamide passes into breast milk and can cause jaundice in infants.

Treatment with Streptocide is not recommended for:

Hypersensitivity to the components of the powder or ointment
Azotemia
Signs of anemia
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (congenital pathology)
Porphyria
Diseases of the kidneys and hematopoietic system
Besedov's disease
Pregnancy, GW.

During treatment with antimicrobial powder, it is necessary to provide the patient with a strict drinking regime.

Abrupt termination of the use of liniment can provoke the development of resistance to drugs of the sulfonamide group.

If local allergic reactions occur, it will be necessary to complete treatment with liniment.

Cross-drug interactions

Myelotoxic drugs can increase the severity of hematotoxicity of the drug.

During treatment with Streptocide in powder form, the following may be observed:

Dizziness combined with headache
Occurrence of crystalluria
Attacks of nausea, vomiting
Development of leukopenia
Cyanosis and agranulocytosis
Deterioration of visual perception
Ataxia.

Quite rarely, nephrotoxic reactions are recorded, in some cases - hypothyroidism.

Side symptoms increase, possibly depressive states, development of fever, impaired sleep quality, hematuria. With prolonged use of overdoses of drugs, the appearance of signs of anemia, the development of jaundice, leukopenia, and the occurrence of thrombocytopenia cannot be ruled out.

Recommended treatment: strict drinking regime; in case of unintentional ingestion of powder or liniment, a procedure for washing the gastrointestinal tract.
