Practicing surgeons, traumatologists, gynecologists, faced with various wounds, burns, complicated infections and not only, always wanted to have at hand the perfect tool that could replace several drugs. Perhaps this can be considered a solution of "Vagotil."
The properties
“Vagotil” carries out antifungal, antibacterial, hemostatic effects due to polycresulene, the main active substance. It copes with fungi, bacteria (staphylococci, trichomonads, streptococci, Escherichia, salmonella), which provoke chronic inflammatory processes (vaginitis, colpitis).
It is an indispensable tool in the complex treatment of wound surfaces, when it is necessary to accelerate cell regeneration in a short time. Due to its ability to accelerate coagulation, polycresule can stop bleeding, as well as form a thin protective film.
Such a barrier can stay on the surface of the wound for up to a week. During this period, the cells of damaged tissues are completely updated, and the dead array can be easily removed without damaging the surface of the updated tissues.
How to apply?
Vagotil has indications for use in several sectors, such as gynecology, surgery, otolaryngology and dentistry. Such a narrow specificity of application is due to its properties, as well as the form of release.
The drug is in the form of a solution that can be used in pure or diluted form. The most popular cautery is Vagotil, which is carried out by treating the affected areas with a concentrated solution using cotton swabs.
The swab soaked in the solution is set for three minutes. In dental and ENT practice, such procedures are single and are designed to reduce the likelihood of infection of the wounds after extraction of teeth or polyps, and in gynecological - they are systemic.
The cauterization procedure is carried out for ten days by a specialist. For two or three minutes, the swab is inserted into the vagina, then removed. The following procedure is possible in one or two days.
For douching and lotions use a diluted solution. Depending on the procedure for which it will be used, Vagotil is bred in the ratio of fifteen milliliters per liter of water or thirty milliliters per liter of water.
Where to use?
Gynecology:
- Treatment of cervicitis.
- Chronic vaginitis complicated by fungal and bacterial infections.
- Microtrauma associated with surgical interventions (installation of pessaries, biopsy).
Surgery:
- To stop bleeding when removing polyps of the urethral canal.
- Cauterization of trophic ulcers.
- The treatment of long healing wounds.
Dentistry:
- Gum treatment after tooth extraction.
- Point applications in places of pronounced inflammation with gingivitis.
Contraindication and side effects
People who are intolerant or highly sensitive to polycrelesin should not use this medication. It can cause severe allergic reactions in the form of rashes, itching, redness, swelling of the larynx and anaphylactic shock.
In women using Vagotil for erosion treatment, redness of the vaginal mucosa, a feeling of fullness, and severe vulvar edema are possible.
Dentists should use the solution with caution in people with weak enamel, since prolonged contact of the concentrate with the surface of the tooth entails its softening and damage to the tooth.
Pregnant, nursing mothers, children, the solution is not prescribed categorically. In women during menstruation, the procedure with Vagotil should be postponed.
What can not be used with polycresulene?
The main feature of Vagotil, its analogues, is its interaction with other solutions and preparations, the pH of which is alkaline. When interacting, they can enhance the properties of the drug, thereby increasing the possibility of a severe chemical burn of the mucosa.
Analogs of Vagotil
Oddly enough, but drugs that are identical in active substance are very few. All of them are produced by foreign companies and have various forms of release, ranging from solutions to vaginal suppositories.
"Albotil." This drug is the brainchild of the Japanese company Tokada. Used in gynecology for the treatment of complications associated with surgical interventions, cervical erosion, vaginitis, complicated by fungal and microbial infections (candidiasis, trichomonads).
It can be used in maxillary surgery to heal wounds that are difficult to treat. In traumatology and surgery, it is used in the form of applications for the accelerated healing of postoperative wounds, aggravated by a bacterial infection and a large amount of pus.
It has two forms of release: a concentrate for the preparation of a solution and vaginal suppositories.
The concentrate is used to prepare a solution in which tampons are soaked for cauterization. The resulting liquid is moistened with a cotton ball and placed in the vagina for three minutes, then removed. Such procedures can be carried out two or three times a week.
Dentists suggest that patients use turundas moistened with Albotil to cauterize wounds.
Such a solution is prepared by diluting from five to fifteen milliliters of Albotil in one liter of water. Suppositories are used a day before the start of epithelialization of the affected areas, then two days later.
There are no products containing polycresulene and which are full Russian analogues of Vagotil. Conventionally, two drugs manufactured in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan by the Chinese pharmaceutical company Jiangsu Forever can be called such.
Clazil or Metacresol . Suppositories with this name are complete analogues with identical instructions and method of use. The mass fraction of the substance in one candle is 90 mg. Their color ranges from light pink to dark brown.
Suppositories are used to restore the vaginal mucosa with cervicitis, minor injuries caused by the use of devices to maintain the uterus or bladder, as well as with frequent inflammatory and infectious diseases.
Before use, a little moisten the candle, which will greatly facilitate the introduction. The procedure is carried out in the evening before going to bed with an interval of one day.
In addition, specialists can offer a sufficient number of dosage forms of substitutes, analogues of Vagotil according to the mode of action. These include the “Ferezol” used to remove papillomas, dry warts and corns by cauterization.
Reviews
An interesting fact: the majority of patients who received an appointment in which the solution “Vagotil” is indicated, doubt the correctness of the selected treatment. First of all, this is due to the fact that the instructions describe in great detail the treatment of gynecological diseases and very little about dentistry or surgery.
But those who decided on treatment with Vagotil concentrate according to the indications for use, and the reviews left the warmest. ENTs prescribe diluted solution to people suffering from chronic tonsillitis, to whom standard treatment does not give any effect.
The first results "on the face" after one procedure: the pain goes away, the inflammation gradually decreases. Repeated relapses are absent.
Concentrate was also noted in women with cervical erosion. He was especially fond of ladies who do not have children, to whom other types of treatment, such as diathermocoagulation, are contraindicated. The analogue of Vagotil (Albotil) and the drug itself do not leave scars, are well tolerated, while reducing the risk of necrotic formations with an unpleasant odor.
Passing the examination, do not be afraid of confusing medical terms. If you doubt the correctness of the treatment, you can always contact another specialist. But the doctor always leaves it up to you to choose which drug to use - the original remedy or its analogue, Vagotil or a substitute.
