Dermatology. External products used in dermatology Dermatological preparations of plant origin

Dermatological drugs are used to treat various skin diseases: dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, acne, lichen, etc. For each type of pathology, the use of a specific product in the form of ointments, tablets and injections is recommended. Ointments are divided into two types: containing glucocorticosteroids (hormonal) and without corticosteroids (non-hormonal). The latter include essential oils, vitamin derivatives, antibiotics and inhibitors of inflammatory processes in the body.

Ointments for the treatment of skin diseases

There are two groups of ointments prescribed for the treatment of skin diseases:

• Hormonal drugs are drugs that contain glucocorticosteroids (synthetic hormones similar to substances secreted by the adrenal glands). These include Advantan, Akriderm.
• Non-hormonal - products containing herbal components, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory substances. Ointments of this group are used everywhere, as they have no contraindications. These include: Naftaderm, Protopic, Losterin, Radevit, Solcoseryl, Eplan.

Advantan

Advantan is a hormonal drug for the treatment of skin diseases. The active ingredient is methylprednisolone aceponate.

The mechanism of action of the ointment is the binding of the metabolite of methylprednisolone - methylprednisolone propionate during chemical reactions with glucocorticosteroid receptors, which has a biological stimulating effect on the body. When using the medicine, the allergic rash decreases, the swelling of the soft tissues decreases, as a result of which the following allergy symptoms are eliminated:

• Objective: skin hyperemia, rashes, swelling, thickening of the skin.
• Subjective: burning and itching sensation.

Side effects include mainly redness and itching of the skin, but atrophy, the appearance of pimples, blackheads and vesicles are also possible. The occurrence of these signs indicates an incorrect prescription of the medicine or intolerance to the components contained in the composition. It is recommended to rinse the skin from the ointment with warm water, wipe dry with tissues and stop further use. Contraindications for the use of Advantan are allergic sensitization to substances in the drug, viral skin diseases and tuberculosis. Use during pregnancy is not recommended.

The approximate cost of the ointment is 500-600 rubles.

Akriderm

Akriderm ointment contains betamethasone dipropionate, liquid paraffin, hydroxybenzoate, and petroleum jelly. It comes in the form of an aluminum tube, so it can be stored for up to 2 years.

The mechanism of action of the ointment is to bind the main substance to endogenous corticosteroid receptors, which helps relieve inflammation, swelling and itching. This is due to the fact that betamethasone causes vasoconstriction, affecting the immune system.

Akriderm is used for any allergic skin diseases:

• contact dermatitis: subacute and chronic;
• contact dermatitis;
• neurodermatitis;
• dermatitis developing under the influence of ultraviolet rays;
• psoriasis.

The ointment should not be used to treat skin tuberculosis, the effects of vaccination, dermatitis in the mouth and nose, acne and the treatment of skin diseases of children under 12 years of age. To obtain a therapeutic effect, it is recommended to apply Akriderm in a thin layer up to 3 times a day, rubbing the ointment into the skin with slow massage movements for 21 days. The drug is allowed to be used in pregnant women only after examination by a gynecologist.

Side effects include itching, redness, the appearance of inflammatory follicles or vesicles with serous contents, atrophic areas of the skin and stretch marks.

Akriderm is a budget product; its cost is 100-200 rubles.

Naftaderm

Naftaderm is a non-hormonal drug that has a wide spectrum of action. The ointment contains naftalan oil, filtered water, ethyl alcohol and wax.

The active substances of Naftaderm are purified oil that acts on the outer surface of the skin. After using the ointment, anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, antibacterial disinfectant effects are noted, and naftaderm also improves tissue regeneration.

The drug is used to treat many skin imperfections and diseases:

• Purulent infections: furunculosis, pyoderma, ruptured abscesses.
• Consequences of injury: open wounds, bedsores, scratches, fractures, erosive processes, ulcers.
• Inflammatory diseases: seborrhea, dermatitis, eczema, acne, pink eczema, neuroderma.
• Bacterial and viral infections: psoriasis, erysipelas, prurigo, sycosis, lichen.

Naftaderm should not be used to treat hemorrhagic skin rashes (meningitis, hemophilia, thrombocytopathy, hepatitis), acute and chronic renal failure, severe anemia, or an allergic reaction to the active substances of the drug. Dermatologists recommend applying a thin layer of ointment to the affected areas at least 2 times a day. The course of treatment lasts about a month, after which it is necessary to undergo a re-examination. Adverse reactions are rare, since Naftaderm is well tolerated by patients. Undesirable effects include peeling of the skin or the appearance of folliculitis. The approximate cost of the product is 500 rubles.

Protopik

Protopic is a non-hormonal ointment that is used for external use in the treatment of skin diseases. The composition contains tacrolimus, wax, propylene carbonate, paraffin. Tacrolimus is a drug belonging to the group of calcineurin blockers, that is, it disrupts the synthesis of immune cells (interleukins, tumor necrosis factor, macrophages) in the body, which leads to the development of an anti-inflammatory effect. In addition, tacrolimus does not have a pathological effect on collagen synthesis in tissues, and therefore does not lead to skin atrophy.

The ointment is recommended for the treatment of dermatitis of various etiologies: viral, bacterial, atrophic, neurological, medicinal. Contraindications are children's age (under 2 years), pregnancy, breastfeeding, hypersensitivity of the body to the components of the drug, immunosuppressive state, sunburn at the site of application, malignant neoplasms, enlarged regional lymph nodes. Doctors recommend applying Protopic in a thin layer to the skin up to 2 times a day. If improvement is not observed within 2 weeks of treatment, then you should consult a doctor and change the drug.

Side effects include:

• itching and burning sensation;
• local soreness;
• paresthesia;
• local temperature increase.

Protopic cannot be used in conjunction with certain antibacterial drugs (Erythromycin, Azithromycin), sedatives (Benzodiazepine, Diazepam, Diltiazem, Ketoconazole). Approximate cost - 600 rubles.

Losterine

Losterin contains almond oil, urea, naphthalan, ceteareth, alcohol, glyceryl, panthenol, Japanese Sophora extract, castor oil, salicylic acid. It is a unique modern drug that is designed for daily use in the treatment of chronic skin diseases. The ointment contains:

• Naftalan - has a pronounced relaxing, vasoconstrictor, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect. Thanks to this, microcirculation of blood vessels at the site of application increases, trophic functions and metabolic processes improve.
• Urea is an effective moisturizer, capable of penetrating into the deep layers of the dermis and having a local effect. It has regenerating, keratolytic and bactericidal properties.
• Salicylic acid is one of the most effective skin disinfectants.
• Panthenol is a component of vitamin B5. It stimulates cell division and enhances the restoration, regeneration and exfoliation of skin cells. has an anti-inflammatory effect by restoring the protective mechanisms of the epidermis.
• Sophora japonica extract is a natural source of flavonoids, which strengthen the walls of blood vessels and prevent their fragility. This improves the trophism of the skin, suppresses the proliferation of keratinocytes, thereby reducing the peeling of the upper layers of the dermis.
• Almond oil is a source of antioxidants (vitamins E and F) and healthy fatty acids (oleic).

Losterin is prescribed for the prevention of skin diseases (applied daily), treatment of dermatitis, eczema, xerosis, psoriasis, dryness and flaking of the skin. The only contraindication is intolerance to one of the components of the drug. The approximate cost of the product varies from 600 to 700 rubles.

Radevit

Radevit is a medicine that belongs to the group of retinoid derivatives. The ointment contains retinol palmitate - vitamin A, tocopherol acetate - vitamin E, ergocalciferol - evitamin D2.

Indications for the use of ointment are:

• prevention of skin withering and aging;

When treating areas of skin that are difficult to reach or come into contact with clothing, you can use an occlusive sterile dressing. Among the side effects, patients note redness and itching; if they occur, it is recommended to stop using the product. Approximate cost - 450 rubles.

Solcoseryl

Solcoseryl is a modern product that is produced using genetic engineering methods. The medicine contains dialysate from the blood of healthy dairy calves. Excipients: alcohol, cholesterol and petroleum jelly.

Solcoseryl has antihypoxic, regenerating and wound-healing effects. Dialysate helps enhance regenerative processes in the skin, activates aerobic metabolic oxidation, increases the synthesis of connective tissue and new skin cells.

The ointment is used to treat:

• Surfaces with 1st and 2nd degree burns.
• Frostbite.
• Minor damage: abrasions, scratches, cuts.
• Bedsores and trophic ulcers.

Contraindications are allergic diseases and hypersensitivity to the components of the drug. Solcoseryl is recommended to be applied to the damaged area up to 2 times a day. Adverse reactions are rare - itching and redness may occur after use. In this case, doctors recommend starting symptomatic treatment and stopping applying the ointment. Approximate cost - 300 rubles.

Eplan

Eplan is an effective wound healing agent that also has bactericidal, protective properties and promotes damage regeneration. The cream contains triethylene glycol, glycerin, glycolan, water and carbitol. Thanks to the complex effect of all components, Eplan accelerates the healing of wounds of various origins: scratches, abrasions, inflammation, burns, bruises, ulcers and erosions. The product does not contain antibacterial or hormonal components.

The drug can be used during pregnancy, but only after consulting a gynecologist. Doctors recommend applying the product to the affected area until it is completely healed. The ointment is also available in the form of a solution. The approximate cost is from 150 to 200 rubles.

Dermatological dosage forms (description, formulation)

P u d ry - powdery substances that are used in the form of powders. Mineral powdered substances (zinc oxide, talc) and organic (starch) are mixed together in various proportions. They are designated as indifferent powders.

Action. Drying, degreasing, cooling, vasoconstrictor.

Indications . Acute and subacute dermatitis without weeping, with increased sweating and increased sebum secretion. To treat erosions and ulcers, sulfonamides, xeroform, and dermatol are added to the composition of powders. If there are signs of pyoderma, antimicrobial substances (bismuth, dermatol, sulfonamides) are added to them, and menthol and anesthesin are added to enhance the antipruritic effect. To obtain fatty powders, naftalan oil is added.

Starch should be excluded from powders in case of excessive sweating, especially in skin folds (causes fermentation).

Examples of powders

Method of application . Powder the affected areas 2-3 times a day.

RAWithTVORs- a liquid dosage form obtained by dissolving a solid or liquid medicinal substance in distilled water (less often in ethyl alcohol). For lotions, anti-inflammatory, astringent, and disinfectant substances are prescribed in the form of solutions.

Action . Cooling, anti-inflammatory, disinfectant, astringent.

Indications . Acute inflammation of the skin with weeping or without exudation (limited eczema, acute dermatitis, etc.) to reduce weeping, swelling, burning, itching in the affected areas. Typically, lotions are applied to limited areas of the affected area several times a day (1-3 days) until the weeping decreases (acute inflammatory phenomena). With longer exposure, the skin in the lesions becomes dry and cracks may appear. During protracted processes, it is recommended to change the composition of the lotions. It is advisable not to use lotions in infants.

Methodology applications . 4-6 layers of gauze soaked in the solution are applied to the affected area. Change every 3-5 minutes for an hour or more, 2-3 times a day.

Examples of recipes for lotions

LOSIONS- soluble or suspended medicinal components. Combine with water (alcohol) and other physiological solvents. The liquid part, evaporating, provides rapid cooling and drying effects, medicinal substances enhance the anti-inflammatory effect.

E m u l s i i- liquids with an oil content of 30%. Semi-liquid-semi-solid systems of visco-elastic consistency. Popular in the treatment of superficial inflammatory dermatoses. When applied to the skin, the liquid part of the emulsion evaporates, cooling the skin, and the oil and medicinal substances are absorbed, enhancing the anti-inflammatory effect.

K relo - liposomal emulsion. Liposomes are lamellar fat crystalline structures alternating with aqueous “blobs.” Crelo, together with administered medications (corticosteroids), provides an anti-inflammatory effect, skin hydration and physiological evaporation of water.

INhbAlTsVAemseVhVeWithAnd- tiny powdery substances suspended in water; water and glycerin; water, glycerin and ethyl alcohol. Before use, the suspension is thoroughly shaken (“chatterbox”). "Chatterbox" consists of 30-40% powder substances (zinc, talc, starch) and 60-70% liquid (water, water and glycerin, glycerin and alcohol). After the water evaporates, the powders applied to the skin remain on it in a thin layer. Glycerin keeps them on the skin for many hours. Alcohol helps accelerate the evaporation of water from the surface of the lesions. Other drugs can be added to this dosage form: ichthyol, anesthesin, sulfur, etc.

Oil mash (liniments), which consist of zinc oxide (30%) and vegetable oils (70%), are used as a local anti-inflammatory agent.

Action . Water mash: anti-inflammatory, drying, antipruritic. Oil suspensions: anti-inflammatory, softening, exfoliating.

Indications . For acute and subacute skin lesions without weeping (dermatitis, allergic rashes, etc.). "Chatterboxes" can be used without applying bandages.

Methodology applications . Shake before use. Apply with a swab to the affected area 2-3 times a day.

Examples of chatterbox recipes

A E R O S O L I- a dispersed system consisting of a gaseous medium in which solid and liquid drugs are suspended. They usually contain corticosteroids, antibiotics, antimycotics and are available in special sealed containers with a valve device.

Action. The mechanism of action is similar to shaken suspensions.

Indications. Various degrees of inflammation of the skin, including those accompanied by oozing, pyoderma, complicated by inflammation of mycosis.

Method of application . The affected areas are irrigated from a balloon 2-3 times a day.

M az- a dosage form based on fat or a fat-like substance. The use of the ointment stops the skin from breathing, causes a slight increase in its temperature, loosening of the surface layers and dilation of blood vessels in the affected areas, due to which the absorption of the active substances contained in this dosage form occurs.

The base used is yellow petroleum jelly and lanolin (equal parts), purified lard, vegetable fats, oils, naphthalan, and silicone compounds.

Sulfur, tar, salicylic acid, naphthalan, ichthyol, resorcinol are introduced into ointment bases; for pyodermic deposits, antibiotics are added, taking into account the possibility of sensitization.

Hydrophobic ointments contain fatty substances (vaseline, lanolin, naphthalan, lard, etc.), provide “warming” of the skin and a deep effect of the administered medicinal substances on the infiltrative inflammatory process.

Hydrophilic ointments contain synthetic silicone compounds that allow the skin to breathe.

Action . In small concentrations (up to 3%), for example, salicylic acid, resorcinol, introduced into the ointment base, cause a keratoplastic effect (exfoliating, epithelizing, anti-inflammatory, easily absorbable), in high concentrations (3-5% or more) - keratolytic (exfoliating , exfoliating, pronounced absorbable).

Method of application . Counting on a keratoplasty effect, small concentrations of active substances are used and the lesions are lubricated 2-3 times a day. To obtain a keratolytic effect, increasing concentrations of active substances are used. Apply lubrication to the lesions 2-3 times a day under a bandage, including under a compress 2 times a day.

Examples of ointment prescriptions

Creams differ from ointments in the content of water in the fat base. If water particles are surrounded by oil (“water in oil”), then a fatty ointment (cream) is formed; if vice versa (“oil in water”), then a non-greasy emulsion ointment (cream) is formed.

More often a cream is used, consisting of equal parts of lanolin (animal fat), petroleum jelly (or vegetable oil) and water.

Synthetic fat-like substances - derivatives of cellulose, ethylene oxides, etc. - are often used as the basis for proprietary creams.

Hydrophilic creams contain 30% oil in water. Provide hydration, skin softening, anti-inflammatory effect. They act for a short time (several hours).

Creams containing lipobase - creams with water as a constant phase, but with a higher fat content (70%) than in oil-in-water creams. Creams contain a non-ionized emulsifier, which forms lamellar fat crystalline structures alternating with water bubbles that form liposomes, and are the most physiological local anti-inflammatory agents. The corticosteroid drug “Lokoid-Lipocrem” was created based on liposomes.

Hydrophobic creams They are a system of water (30%) in oil. They create an oil film on the skin, preventing water evaporation, rehydrate the skin, promote the penetration of medications, thereby providing an anti-inflammatory effect.

Antipruritic (diphenhydramine, menthol), exfoliating (salicylic acid) substances, urea, vitamins A, E, corticosteroids and other agents are often added to creams.

Action. When applying creams, the skin is softened and moisturized, cleansed of scales and crusts. At the same time, her breathing is preserved, cooling, vasoconstrictor, and anti-inflammatory effects appear.

Indications . For dry flaky skin, cracks, subacute dermatitis (eczema), itchy dermatoses, some infiltrative-desquamative (psoriasis, neurodermatitis, ichthyosis) and other dermatoses.

Method of application . Lubricate or lightly rub into affected areas 2-3 times a day.

Examples of prescriptions for some creams

P a s t e d e r m a t o l o g ical- is a mixture of equal quantities of fatty substances and indifferent powders. They act deeper than talkers, but more superficially than ointments.

Action . Anti-inflammatory, drying, cooling, do not stop skin respiration.

Indications. For acute and subacute inflammation without weeping (dermatitis, herpes, subacute eczema, etc.). In case of chronic infiltrative inflammatory process (chronic eczema, neurodermatitis, psoriasis, etc.), fatty pastes are prescribed, while increasing the content of fatty substances in the dosage form and regulating the content of active substances (salicylic, carbolic acids, sulfur, tar, naphthalan, ichthyol, ASD and etc.), you can get keratoplastic (reducing) or keratolytic (absorbing) effects.

Method of application . Apply a thin layer to the lesions 2-3 times a day. Do not use on areas with abundant hair and weeping.

It is usually applied without a bandage.

Examples of recipes for some dermatological pastes

The basis dermatological L AK O V- elastic collodion with 10% castor oil or traumacitin (rubber in chloroform). Salicylic, carbolic, lactic acids, resorcinol, tar and other substances are added to the base. The varnish hardens on the skin in the form of a thin film; the substances contained in it penetrate deeply into the skin. It is removed with gasoline.

Indications. For the treatment of calluses, warts, nail plates with onychomycosis, plaque psoriasis, for detachment of the stratum corneum.

Method of application. Apply once to the lesion for 3-5 days, then apply ointments for 1-2 days, shower; the cycles are repeated.

Examples of some dermatological varnishes

The basis dermatological plasters- wax or rosin, which provides its thick and sticky consistency. Keratolytic concentrations of salicylic acid, urea, iodine, carbolic and acetic acids, lead oxide, etc. are introduced.

Action. Active absorbable, exfoliating, loosening, disinfectant, fungicidal, depending on the substances introduced.

Indications. For the removal of calluses, loosening of nails, treatment of the nail bed with onychomycosis, trichomycosis, verrucous form of lichen planus, limited neurodermatitis, purulent-inflammatory processes in the skin.

Method of application. Before use, the patch is heated, the lesion is wiped with alcohol (gasoline), and changed once every 2-3 days. The patch adheres well to the skin and nails.

Examples of some dermatological patches

.ANTIPRESSES can be divided into two groups.

The first group of antipruritic drugs has only an antipruritic effect, without affecting the pathological process in the skin. It includes drugs: menthol, anesthesin, citric and carbolic acids, vinegar solutions, antihistamines, chloral hydrate, dyes, etc. . This group of products is used more often in the form of alcohol solutions for lubrication and rubbing of itchy areas of the skin.

The second group of antipruritic drugs also affects the pathological process in the skin. These include preparations of sulfur, tar, salicylic acid, corticosteroids, etc. These substances are mainly included in the composition of mash, pastes, ointments, and creams.

Indications. Itching, adult pruritus, urticaria, neurodermatitis, erythema multiforme, insect bites and other diseases accompanied by itching.

Method of application. Lubricating itchy areas 2-3 times a day.

Examples of prescriptions for some antipruritic alcohol solutions

TOPICAL CORTICOSTEROID REMEDIES effectively suppress the skin inflammatory reaction, including allergic, due to the vasoconstrictor effect and inhibitory effect on the release of cytokines (interleukins, g-interferon) from lymphocytes and macrophages, inflammatory mediators from eosinophils and neutrophils, reduce the metabolism of arachidonic acid, suppress the activity of hyaluronidase. Corticosteroids (especially fluoridated ones) reduce the rate of cell division, which is important for infiltrative-desquamative dermatoses (psoriasis, neurodermatitis, lichen planus, ichthyosis, etc.).

Corticosteroids for topical use are divided into 4 groups:

Very potent: beclomethasone, galcinonide, diflucortolone, clobetasol.

Potent: beclomethasone, betamethasone, hydrocortisone butyrate, desonide, diflucortolone, triamsinolone, fluclorolone, fluocinolone, fluocinonide, fluprednylidene.

Possessing strong activity: hydrocortisone with urea, deoxymethasone, fluocortolone, fluocinolone, flurandrenolone.

Weak: hydrocortisone, methylprednisolone.

When the affected areas are infected, they are not used without the addition of antibacterial agents, since there is a possibility of increased inflammation and dissemination of the process.

When applied to large areas of lesions (especially erosive-ulcerative ones), there is a significant risk of resorption of local fluorinated corticosteroids and suppression of adrenal function, while their teratogenic effect cannot be excluded.

Therefore, when prescribing local corticosteroid drugs, the following recommendations should be followed:

At the beginning of treatment, not very active drugs of the hydrocortisone and prednisolone group are used;

If they are ineffective, a highly active drug is prescribed until a pronounced improvement is obtained, after which they switch to a less active drug;

The preparations are applied to the lesions in a thin layer, giving the skin a slight shine;

Drugs should be prescribed in small quantities to prevent overdose and monitor the progress of the treatment process;

Occlusive dressings should only be used for short periods of time;

Highly active drugs are prescribed for discoid lupus erythematosus and lichen planus, moderately active drugs for psoriasis, and with low activity (hydrocortisone, prednisolone) for eczema and dermatitis.

For infected skin lesions, antimicrobial and antimycotic agents (neomycin, clotrimazole, heliomycin, nystatin, etc.) are added to corticosteroids, but the steroid does not prevent possible reactions to these substances.

In the absence of infection, corticosteroids are used in their pure form.

Adverse reactions develop more often during treatment with potent corticosteroids. They are expressed in the addition of infection, skin atrophy (sometimes irreversible), stretch marks, local hirsutism in young women, perioral dermatitis, local depigmentation, acne.

You should not use potent corticosteroids on the skin of the face (with the exception of discoid lupus erythematosus), eyelids (due to the possibility of developing glaucoma).

Contraindications to the use of local glucocorticosteroids (especially highly active ones) are bacterial, viral, fungal dermatoses, perioral dermatitis, specific skin infections (tuberculosis, syphilis), skin tumors, pregnancy (lactation), extensive skin lesions, dermatoses in children under one year of age.

Dermatological drugs are medications used for the treatment and prevention of diseases of the skin, its appendages - hair, nails, and mucous membranes. The skin, despite its apparent simplicity, is a complex human organ that performs many functions (protective, thermoregulatory, respiratory, receptive). At the same time, the skin is susceptible to serious diseases, for the treatment of which the pharmaceutical market offers a wide range of drugs for both topical use and oral administration.

Hormonal agents. This subgroup is quite diverse due to the peculiarity of these drugs - hormonal agents, otherwise called topical steroids, effectively treat skin diseases that are accompanied by serious inflammation. Such diseases are eczema, dermatitis, lichen ruber and psoriasis. Topical steroids have an active suppressive effect on foci of inflammatory processes. Let's consider steroids of various degrees of activity:

• "Deperzolon" in the form of an ointment. It is a weakly active anti-inflammatory steroid. Prescribed for eczema, dermatitis and other diseases.
• "Afloderm". A cream prescribed for similar diseases. Has a medium degree of activity.
• "Mesoderm". The most effective hormonal remedy for an identical range of skin diseases.

Topical retinoids. These skin preparations, containing vitamin A derivatives, can be seen on the prescription sheets of patients suffering from acne. Differin is most popular among dermatologists.

Antibiotics. They are used to treat diseases of bacterial etiology: impetigo, boils, carbuncles and others. Let's look at some antibiotics:

• "Rozamet." A cream that has an antimicrobial effect for diseases such as rosacea and acne.
• "Argosulfan". It is used for burns to prevent infection, as well as for purulent wounds.

Antifungal agents. They are used in dermatology to treat the following diseases: lichen, dermatophytosis, candidiasis. These skin products can be found on the market in various dosage forms:

• "Mikospor". The release form - ointment, gel, solution or powder - is prescribed depending on the location of the fungal infection.
• "Exoderil". Highly effective antifungal solution.

Also in dermatology, skin products used internally are widely used. They are prescribed for severe forms of eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis, as well as for such serious diseases as pemphigus.

Among the drugs used internally, hormonal glucocorticosteroids are especially often used. These are serious medications, the treatment of which requires periodic observation by a doctor and testing. As a rule, steroids of this group are sold in the form of injection solutions: for example, Diprospan.

There are also other groups of drugs for oral use: antiviral, antifungal, antihistamine, retinoids and others. It is important to note that they all require appointment by a specialist and strict adherence to the instructions.

Selection of ready-made dermatological preparations of plant and synthetic origin with anti-infective activity is quite large ( table 67).

Most herbal remedies can be combined with each other. It is only necessary to emphasize that the table 67 It is better to use tinctures and liquid extracts not on their own, but for the preparation of other dosage forms, for example, ointments. There are even more diverse medicinal plants with antimicrobial properties. The necessary dosage forms can be prepared both from individual types of raw materials and from collections.

It is advisable to take into account all the main directions of the therapy stage being carried out. This is easy to do because many plants are effective in different ways. From the collection you can prepare aqueous extracts (infusions, decoctions) and use them as lotions, poultices and a liquid component of chatterboxes. Raw materials crushed into fine powder can be used to prepare powders and powders (potato, rice starches, and corn flour are suitable as bases). The same powder can become a dry component of the mash, and to soften the skin, instead of glycerin, you can add mucilage (from flax seeds, marshmallow root, fireweed or linden leaves, etc.).

This mash can be stored for 2-3 days in the refrigerator, but it is easy to prepare and very effective. To introduce aqueous extracts into ointment bases, it is best to use anhydrous lanolin. Oil and alcohol extracts are easily mixed with or without fatty bases. Thus, the use of medicinal plants opens up for the doctor unlimited (except for the necessary high-quality raw materials) possibilities for the treatment of dermatitis. The preparation of dosage forms from the prescriptions prescribed by the doctor can be carried out by the patient himself. However, it is certainly more desirable to manufacture them in pharmacies on the recommendations of a doctor. An important point is the choice of base. Here, it is hardly possible to make uniform recommendations for everyone. But it’s still better to start with simple basics and be sure to check the patient’s tolerance to them before preparing the drug. Aqueous extracts prepared at home should not be stored for more than 2-3 days in the refrigerator. The shelf life of other extemporaneous drugs varies, but is also short, so they should not be prepared in large quantities.
