The spectrum of action of fucorcin is wider than that of brilliant green. Fukortsin, in addition to microbes, kills fungi. The components of the medicine, including phenol, are well absorbed through the skin and, with a large area of ​​application, have a general toxic effect on the body (causes weakness, lethargy, dizziness). The instructions for the drug emphasize that fucorcin should not be applied to a large surface of the skin. Fukortsin is contraindicated in pregnancy and lactation.

It follows from this that fucorcin for children is not a harmless remedy. It is strongly discouraged to use it yourself, without a doctor's prescription.

It is categorically not recommended to replace another medicine prescribed by a doctor with fucorcin on your own.

Fukortsin must be applied to the skin pointwise. It is strictly not allowed to smear large areas of the skin entirely.

But if you or the child cut yourself, there is no brilliant green at hand, but there is fukortsin, you can use it only if the wound is small. If the wound is large and deep, fucorcin will not work, since it will be actively absorbed in the damaged area of ​​the skin and can have a toxic effect. Better to look for another antiseptic.

The antiseptic property leads to the death of pathogens located most superficially, at the very first application.

Contraindications to the use of the drug are individual odor intolerance, the appearance of rashes after application to the skin as an allergic reaction (various forms of hypersensitivity).

However, infectious disease specialists recommend using cotton swabs, which are replaced with new ones after each use of the solution.

Fukortsin: method of application for various diseases, dosage and side effects

The medicine is prescribed after consulting a doctor with a long course of treatment, or is independently used for prophylactic purposes with a single wound treatment.

Contraindication to use is pregnancy, early childhood and individual intolerance.

For infectious diseases of the skin, the drug Fukortsin is used, the method of application of which implies external application to the focus of bacterial or fungal lesions. With a clean cotton swab or glass spatula, the solution is applied to the affected area of ​​the skin with point or light linear movements in case of massive infection.

For wounds and abrasions Fukortsin is applied generously to completely treat the damaged skin surface and left to dry completely. It is strictly forbidden to cover the treated surface with a plaster or bandage, it can lead to burns of the wound surface.

With erosion, cracks and weeping wounds Fukortsin is applied in a course of up to seven days before the onset of complete healing, the growth of granulation tissue at the site of the pathological focus. It is used as directed by a doctor once a day in the evening, the skin area remains uncovered, after drying, an antibacterial ointment, zinc paste or a healing cream is applied.

With fungus and lichen Fukortsin is used throughout the entire affected area by the fungal flora, capturing one centimeter from the visible hyperemic edge of the lesion. This prevents the growth of microspores outside the area of ​​the treated surface.

With herpes the drug is used pointwise on the area of ​​the vesicle, reapplied every four hours, blocks the multiplication of viruses in the affected area. With chickenpox, it is used in children over three years old, as well as with herpes infection, it is applied pointwise. If a child develops hyperemia after applying Fukortsin, it should be replaced with brilliant green or Miramistin.

With stomatitis and damage to the mucous membranes the product is applied to a tampon, previously lubricated with sea buckthorn or another type of oil, after which it is dotted on the affected surface. The oil reduces the risk of burns, erosion of the thin mucous membrane by aggressive components of the solution, this method allows you to process massive volumes of affected tissue.

The dosage of Fukortsin is determined by the attending physician, as a rule, it is no more than three applications to the skin during the day. The course lasts no more than a week, after which the skin needs a break to restore the protective properties, the production of surface enzymes of the epidermis. Fukortsin is available in a dose of 10, 25 ml.

Side effects of the drug are pain and discomfort. directly during the processing of damaged tissues. This effect is due to the irritating effect on the nerve endings located in the layers of the epidermis, dermis. With significant skin lesions, frequent application, Fukortsin can lead to burns, redness, edema of the superficial epithelium up to the development of dermatitis. An urgent withdrawal of the drug is required and control over the treatment by a supervising specialist doctor.

With extensive application, phenol vapor poisoning is manifested by dizziness, weakness, lethargy, irritation of the conjunctiva of the eye, respiratory failure, a sharp decrease in pressure. It is necessary to urgently consult a doctor, ventilate the room, drink cold water, if the symptoms do not stop within 15 minutes, call emergency help.

The drug, known as Fukortsin, is a topical antiseptic and antifungal drug. It has for which it got its second name - "Castellani paint".

The "Fukortsin" solution contains several components, including phenol, boric acid, resorcinol, acetone. It is colored by fuchsin, a substance with a pronounced antifungal effect. Synthesized in the middle of the 19th century and originally used only as a dye, fuchsin has been used in medicine for many decades. It owes its name to its bright color, similar to that of fuchsia flowers. Fuchsin is poisonous and carcinogenic.

Boric acid is traditionally used in medicine as a disinfectant. It is used locally to treat eczema, dermatitis and (sometimes) conjunctivitis. An alcoholic solution is used to treat otitis media by instilling it in the ear or by putting a cotton swab moistened with boric alcohol into the ear canal. It was widely used earlier, because of its side effects in recent years it has been used less and less in medicine. It is prohibited during pregnancy and lactation, as well as in the treatment of children.

Phenol (5% solution) is used in medicine and pharmacology as an antiseptic. This substance is extremely toxic: it causes serious dysfunctions of the central nervous system. In addition, phenol is carcinogenic; therefore, it is used in medicines in small quantities and in the lowest possible concentration. As for resorcinol, it is an effective antiseptic. In a low concentration (up to 2%), resorcinol is used as an anti-inflammatory and Preparations with a higher percentage of this substance are used to cauterize the skin surface.

The solution "Fukortsin", thus, is quite effective, but not absolutely safe for health means. It should not be used by pregnant and lactating mothers, as well as children under the age of three. The "Fukortsin" solution is applied only pointwise, touching healthy skin as little as possible - this measure minimizes the toxic effect of the drug. However, in any case, for large skin lesions, it is better to use another drug, since phenol is easily absorbed through the pores and can enter the bloodstream.

The drug "Fukortsin" is used to treat fungal and pustular skin diseases, abrasions and cracks, superficial wounds. It has also proven itself well in chickenpox: liquid-filled bubbles dry out very quickly under the action of this agent. It is also known that some people use the medicine "Fukortsin" for stomatitis. Given the toxicity of this drug, such treatment can hardly be considered justified, although in this case, as in most others, it acts quickly and effectively. The "Fukortsin" solution is also available as colorless, without fuchsin - its antifungal effect is much weaker.

Many are inclined to consider this drug obsolete and ineffective, along with the well-known "brilliant green" or a solution of methylene blue ("Pioctannin"). Indeed, "Castellani paint" is practically not used in European countries - not least because of its toxicity.

Nevertheless, cases of poisoning with the drug "Fukortsin" are extremely rare and its only drawback, according to reviews, is its bright color: it is too noticeable on the skin. For this reason, it is better not to lubricate skin rashes with a preparation containing fuchsin before consulting a doctor - otherwise, the diagnosis may be difficult. A colorless solution can be used in this case. The answer to the question of how to wash fucorcin from the skin has long been known: alcohol will cope with this task best of all.
