PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Anti-inflammatory,
anti-allergic, analgesic, and bactericidal
actions of the medicinal product are caused by the properties of the components
of the medicinal product.
Triamcinolone
is a glucocorticoid that exerts a pronounced anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic,
and desensitization action. Its mechanism of action consists in
blocking the release by eosinophils of inflammation mediators, including
prostaglandins that potentiate the inflammatory process; in reduction in mast
cells that produce hyaluronic acid; in capillary permeability reduction.
Lidocaine
acts as a local anaesthetic, favors a prompt relief of inflammatory and
allergic reactions.
Chloramphenicol
and metronidazole exert a bactericidal action and are active with respect to most
gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as a mycotic infection.
The calendula extract has both bactericidal and anti-inflammatory
properties; speeds up tissue regeneration and the wound healing process.
