Levomycetin Reneval, 3% alcohol 25 ml

Pharmacotherapeutic group:antibiotic.

The ATX code: D06AX02

Pharmacodynamics

The active ingredient of the drug is chloramphenicol – a broad spectrum antibiotic with high antibacterial activity against the causative agent of wound infection and various forms of purulent inflammatory processes.

Chloramphenicol is a bacteriostatic antibiotic and disrupts protein synthesis in the microbial cell (having good lipophilicity it penetrates through the cell membrane of bacteria and binds reversibly to the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, where it delays movement of amino acids to growing peptide chains, which leads to disruption of protein synthesis).

It is active against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp.) and Gram-negative cocci (Neisseria gonorrhoeae, N. meningitidis), bacteria (Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Salmonella spp, Shigella spp., Klebsiella spp., Serratia spp., Yersinia spp., Proteus spp.), rickettsia, spirochetes, some major viruses. The drug is active against strains resistant to penicillin, tetracyclines, streptomycin, sulfonamides.

The resistance of microorganisms to chloramphenicol develops relatively slowly. It promotes cleansing and healing of burn purulent wounds and trophic ulcers and accelerates epithelialization.
