Pharmacological properties
ATCvet QD03AX – veterinary drugs that promote healing (scarring) of wounds.
Combined drug for topical use with antimicrobial, reparative and anti-inflammatory effects.
Chloramphenicol, which is part of the drug, has an antimicrobial effect, the mechanism of which is associated with impaired protein synthesis of microorganisms. Acts bacteriostatically, active against gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms (Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli).
Methyluracil accelerates cell regeneration, promotes wound scarring and has anti-inflammatory effects. Polyethylene oxide base adsorbs wound exudate, potentiates the activity of drugs. In the presence of pus or necrotic masses, the antibacterial effect of the drug is preserved.
The drug easily penetrates into tissues without damaging biological membranes, but the degree of systemic absorption after application of the drug to the skin, wounds and mucous membranes is unknown. Vetmecol belongs to practically non-toxic drugs (toxicity class IV).
