Stellanin-PEG, 3% ointment 20 g

The mechanism of the drug’s pharmacological activity lies in the antibacterial action of 1.3-diethylbenzimidazolium.

The active iodine contained in 1.3-diethylbenzimidazolium triiodide inactivates bacterial wall proteins and enzyme proteins of bacteria, thus having a bactericidal effect on microorganisms. The pronounced antimicrobial action of the drug prevents infection of wounds.

Along with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects the ointment has a high osmotic potential which is particularly important in the treatment of septic wounds as it promotes the evacuation of purulent discharge from the wound defect.

Pharmacokinetics

There is no systemic absorption of the active ingredient even in damaged skin; however, therapeutic concentrations of the drug are present in the wound.
