Pharmacological group

In accordance with the instructions to "Fukortsin" therapeutic properties of the drug are due to the active components in its composition. The medication is able to have antimycotic and antibacterial effects.

Resorcinol is an anesthetic that provokes the death of vegetative bacteria and protein coagulation. Impact on disputes practically does not.

Borise acid is also an antiseptic. Contacting with a pathogenic microorganism, it provokes coagulation of proteins in a bacterial cell, disrupting the permeability of the walls. As a result, the microorganism dies.

Fuchsin, which is part of the drug, has antistaphylococcal activity.

Indications for use

What else does the instruction for Fukortsin tell us? Experts recommend it for both adult patients and children. It can be used for the treatment of skin:

1. With mycosis.
2. With bacterial infections.
3. With violations of the integrity of the skin, such as superficial wounds, cracks, scratches, abrasions.

1. Individual hypersensitivity to any of the components that are part of the medication.
2. Allergic dermatosis in a chronic form.

How to apply the medicine?

"Fukortsin" can be used during therapy exclusively externally. Application regimens for adult patients and children are similar.

Use the tool is shown up to four times a day. Application of the solution to the affected areas should be carried out pointwise using a glass or cotton swab.

In the case when the drug is available in the form of a lekker, then the affected areas are lubricated by it, also up to 4 times a day.

Consider the instructions for "Fukortsin" for children. The medication is allowed to be used for chickenpox. They are spotted with rashes until they disappear completely.

According to the instructions for use, "Fukortsin" for children up to a year can not be used. But pediatricians sometimes prescribe a remedy for diaper rash in newborns. The drug dries well and creates a protective layer on the baby's skin.

Also, "Fukortsin" is effective in stomatitis, lichen and other pathologies. It is used in the same way as for adults.

Side effects

In accordance with the instructions to "Fukortsin" immediately after applying the solution, the patient may feel pain and light burning in the treated areas of the skin. Such manifestations disappear quite quickly, that is, interruption of therapy is not required. This effect is due to the presence of alcohol in the composition.

If these negative manifestations persist for 10 minutes or more, an allergic reaction can be suggested. In such a case, it is recommended to cancel the drug solution, and then consult a doctor who will have to adjust the treatment regimen.

This also confirms the instructions for use of "Fucorcin."

Interaction with other medicines

No significant interaction with other drugs was noted. After drying, the applied solution is allowed to apply a paste or ointment.

Special instructions for use

Due to the fact that phenol is a part of Fucorcinum, experts do not recommend applying the solution to vast skin surfaces. This prohibition is caused by the ability of phenol to penetrate into the systemic circulation and provoke toxic phenomena, expressed in weakness and dizziness.

Since there is a risk of the appearance of these unpleasant symptoms, it is recommended to exercise caution when performing activities related to the management of complex mechanisms and vehicles.

So it is said in the instructions for use of "Fucorcin" for adults and children.

During therapy, it is important to remember that the drug solution has the ability to stain tissues. Castellani paint stains can be removed from synthetic fabrics using ordinary laundry soap. If the stain remains on cotton fabrics, then toothpaste should be used to remove it. It should be applied to the stain, soaked for 15 minutes, and then washed with laundry soap. Toothpaste can be replaced with a saturated solution of acetylsalicylic acid. These tips help get rid of stains very quickly, but this is according to reviews.

And in the instructions to "Fukortsin" there is no such information.

There are several ways to remove stains if they remain on the skin. Tools such as:

1. Alcohol, vodka, cosmetic tonic, which contains alcohol.
2. Hydrogen peroxide diluted with ammonia in a ratio of 2: 1.
3. Ascorbic acid powder, which must be previously dissolved using warm water. In the resulting solution, a cotton pad is moistened, and then they wipe the skin areas stained with Fucorcin.
4. Baby cream with high fat content. He will not help to remove spots, but is able to make them significantly brighter. Apply the cream on a cotton swab and wipe the painted skin with it. Further, it is important to rinse skin areas under water.
5. Laundry soap. Just like a baby cream, it will not help to remove the stain from Fukortsin the first time, however, with regular use and subsequent lubrication with a baby cream, the stain disappears quite quickly.
6. If the “Fucorcin” stains remain on the skin of the face or teeth, a mixture of one tablespoon of soda and half lemon juice will help to remove them. With this solution, you need to brush your teeth, or apply it to a stain.

If the floor has been stained, then stains can be removed using bleach diluted in water.

In accordance with the instructions for the solution "Fukortsin" applying it to the mucous membranes is unacceptable. This is due to their good blood supply, which contributes to the penetration of phenol into the systemic circulation. As a result, the likelihood of intoxication increases. If the medicinal solution accidentally gets on the mucous membranes or in the eyes, it is recommended to rinse them immediately with running water, and then seek help from doctors.

But the instruction for the use of "Fucorcin" does not end there.

Overdose

If a medicinal solution is used to apply to large areas of the skin for a long period of time, the development of overdose symptoms that are characteristic of phenol are not ruled out:

1. Weakness.
2. Pallor of the skin.
3. Headache.
4. Respiratory failure.
5. Vertigo.

When these symptoms appear, provide the patient with fresh air.

Severe phenol poisoning is characterized by the following symptoms:

1. Cramps.
2. Cold sweat.
3. Almost no tangible, but accelerated pulse.
4. Impaired breathing.
5. Corneal insensitivity.
6. Cyanosis of the skin.
7. Loss of consciousness.

The characteristic signs of intoxication are particularly rapidly developing in pediatric patients.

In such cases, you must immediately seek help, deliver the patient to the hospital as soon as possible.

Currently, a specific antidote does not exist, therefore, symptomatic therapy is prescribed for phenol overdose.

Storage

As indicated by the instructions for use of "Fucorcin," the storage of funds must be carried out in a dark place that will be inaccessible to children. Recommended temperature storage should be specified on the packaging. This is due to the fact that it can vary depending on the manufacturer who produces the medication. So, some manufacturers recommend storage at temperatures up to 15 degrees, while others - up to 20.

Subject to the rules of storage, the medicine retains its therapeutic properties for 24 months.

Analogs

If necessary, Castellani paint can be replaced with one of the following medications:

1. Betadine. It is a medication that is part of the group of antiseptics. The main active ingredient in its composition is povidone iodine. The manufacturer Betadine is available in several pharmacological forms, including ointments intended for external use. It can be used for the purpose of therapy and as a preventive medication for a variety of bacterial and fungal infections of the skin, in violation of their integrity. Use of "Betadine" is allowed in children from 1 month old, in pregnant women (1-2 trimester).
