Dioxysol

, medical expert
Last reviewed: 04.07.2025

Dioxizol is a combination drug that contains two active components: hydroxymethylquinoxylinedioxide and trimecaine. These components have an antiseptic and anesthetic effect, which makes Dioxizol useful for the treatment of various infectious and inflammatory diseases of the skin and mucous membranes.

Hydroxymethylquinoxylinedioxide has antimicrobial activity, making it effective against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria and some fungi. This substance is often used in medical and cosmetic products to treat and prevent infections.

Trimecaine is a local anesthetic used for pain relief. It blocks the transmission of nerve impulses in the area of application, which provides a temporary reduction in pain sensitivity in the treated area.

Dioxizol is used for the treatment and prevention of the following conditions:

  • Infectious and inflammatory diseases of the skin and mucous membranes;
  • Wounds, abrasions, burns - where both pain relief and infection prevention are important;
  • Inflammatory diseases of the mouth and throat, such as stomatitis or tonsillitis.

Dioxysol can be presented in various forms, including solutions, sprays and ointments, which makes it convenient for different types of applications. Before use, it is important to consult a doctor who will help choose the appropriate form and dosage, as well as discuss possible side effects and precautions.

Release form

It is usually available as a solution that is applied topically to the affected area or mucous membrane.

If Dioxyzole is released in the form of an aerosol for local and external use, this means that it is presented in the form of a spray or aerosol spray, which is usually used for topical application to the skin or mucous membranes.

A spray or aerosol can provide a more even and easier application of the drug to the area being treated, which can be especially convenient when treating wounds, ulcers, cuts or other superficial damage to the skin or mucous membranes.

Dosing and administration

Usually, Dioxizol is applied locally to treat purulent wounds in the form of a solution or ointment. Here are general recommendations for use and dosage:

  1. Wound preparation: Before applying Dioxizol, it is necessary to thoroughly clean and treat the purulent wound. This can be done with an antiseptic solution (e.g. chlorhexidine), washing the wound with a saline solution, or as recommended by a doctor.
  2. Application of Dioxizol: After the wound has been cleaned, Dioxizol can be applied to the affected area. For this purpose, you can use a gauze pad soaked in the solution or apply a thin layer of ointment to the surface of the wound. Dosage and frequency of application may vary depending on the severity and nature of the wound, as well as the doctor's recommendations.
  3. Dressing: Depending on the condition of the wound and the doctor's recommendations, after applying Dioxizol the wound can be dressed to provide protection and maintain cleanliness.

Contraindications

  1. Allergy to hydroxymethylquinoxylinedioxide, trimecaine or any other component of the drug. Allergic reactions may manifest as skin rashes, itching, swelling or even anaphylactic shock.
  2. Deep or heavily contaminated wounds. Applying antiseptics and anesthetics to deep or heavily contaminated wounds may not provide sufficient healing and may mask the symptoms of infection.
  3. Severe liver or kidney dysfunction. Since the components of the drug are metabolized and excreted through the liver and kidneys, dysfunction of these organs may lead to increased toxicity.
  4. Oral administration. Dioxizol is intended for external use only.

  2. Local reactions: When applied externally, local reactions such as redness, burning or irritation of the skin at the site of application may occur. These reactions are usually mild and resolve spontaneously.
  3. Systemic effects: Although less likely, systemic effects may occur if the product is applied to large areas of skin or to damaged skin, which may result in greater absorption of the active ingredients.
