ATCvet QD03AX – veterinary drugs that promote healing (scarring) of wounds.

Combined topical preparation with antibacterial, reparative and anti-inflammatory effects.

Chloramphenicol, which is part of the drug, has an antimicrobial effect, the mechanism of which is associated with a violation of the synthesis of proteins of microorganisms. Bacteriostatic, active against gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms (Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli).

Methyluracil accelerates the processes of cell regeneration, promotes scarring of wounds and has an anti-inflammatory effect. Polyethylene oxide base adsorbs wound exudate, potentiates the activity of medicinal substances. In the presence of pus or necrotic masses, the antibacterial effect of the drug remains.
