Oxy 10 is an emulsion mixture intended for the treatment of skin diseases associated with specific acne pathogens, acne, which, infecting follicular fibers, lead to excessive secretion of sebum. The therapeutic effect of this drug is associated with the effect of benzoic acid on the skin, resulting in a more active release of oxygen by the skin. This effect has a positive effect on the qualitative reduction of the proliferation of anaerobic bacteria - the cause of all sorts of diseases affecting the skin of the face and other various areas.

Indications Oxy 10.

Indications for the use of Oxy 10 are diseases caused by specific bacteria:

  • Propionibacterium acnes
  • Staphylococcus epidermidis

All these bacteria are of anaerobic origin, which means that they do not need air to carry out oxidative processes for the purpose of further nutrition and reproduction. This means that they can grow in an isolated follicle while actively reproducing. However, the element that reduces the activity of these bacterial forms is oxygen, so Oxy 10 is effective in combating diseases such as:

  • Acne
  • Acne
  • Ulcerative lesions in the lower extremities

Release form

The release form of Oxy 10 is, in fact, an emulsion gel that contains active substances. A notable fact is the free distribution without a prescription, as well as variable acquisition options in the form of various concentrations of active substances in the emulsion. In this regard, it is possible to use Oxy 10 as a cosmetic disinfectant gel. The most common version of such a product is an emulsion of 10% concentration placed in a bottle of 30 milliliters. There are also larger bottles, but they have a less concentrated drug. Accordingly, less active on the skin of the face and other parts of the body.

Pharmacodynamics

First of all, the pharmacodynamics of Oxy 10 manifests itself in the form of an antiseptic effect on the application area. More importantly, oxygen is released from the skin, as a result - a freer oxygen exchange of the upper layers of the skin occurs. Also, the growth of pathogens is reduced, both in the entire area and directly in individual follicles. Noteworthy is the effect of exfoliation of dying particles of the dermis, which can also be food for bacterial formations. Oxy 10 has a positive effect on excretory processes associated with the secretion of sebum.

Pharmacokinetics

The pharmacokinetics of Oxy 10 consists of a fairly active formation of specific, completely safe for the body benzoic acid under the skin. It is actually the active element, which, due to a chemical reaction, increases the processes of oxygen release by the skin. It is worth noting the fact of the direct, almost complete excretion of all active elements of this drug with urine. However, there is a certain percentage, in the form of five percent of this drug, which is excreted from the body in its original form also with urine.

Dosing and administration

The method of application and dosage for Oxy 10 are also quite common for emulsion gels. Before application, the local area of application should be thoroughly washed and degreased. To do this, simply wash it with soap and then gently wipe it with a soft towel. Then everything is extremely simple: apply the gel to the skin, then rub it in until completely absorbed by the skin. The gel should be applied once a day for a week, then switch to twice-daily application. Another significant note is that the process of healing the infected area itself will occur in at least two weeks. More precisely, this will only be the beginning of a positive effect. After three weeks, a more lasting effect will be observed.

Use Oxy 10. during pregnancy

The use of Oxy 10 during pregnancy is prohibited in the same way as the use of this drug during lactation, breastfeeding. Since this drug has a more local application, it should be understood that it still goes directly into the body, including the lymphatic areas, fat areas, which, with direct contact or during pregnancy, can affect the metabolic processes in the child's body, as well as the microflora of his skin, digestive system. Therefore, you should carefully consider such a step, refrain from using Oxy 10 during pregnancy, breastfeeding.

Contraindications

Contraindications to the use of Oxy 10 are the most common for similar drugs for local use, since they are expressed in the prohibition of using the drug for children under twelve years of age, which must certainly be taken into account. It is also prohibited to apply the gel to open wounds that are directly in the isolated area of application. After all, getting the drug into the blood will lead to the destruction of hemoglobin oxygen carriers, which is a negative effect on the body. This is why you should carefully treat the process of applying the drug, carefully examining local areas.

Side effects Oxy 10.

Side effects of Oxy 10 may occur. Although the drug is practically harmless to the body, it is worth paying attention to the following side effects, namely: excessive dryness of the skin after use - such an effect may not last long. Further, all sorts of burning during the use of the drug may be associated simply with the usual high sensitivity of the skin to such drugs or simple general sensitivity of the skin. What is noteworthy is that all side effects that arise are purely subjective and do not interfere with the positive effect of the drug. However, it is worth understanding that in case of discomfort, you can stop using the drug, after which the side effects will stop, because all symptoms are not inert.

Overdose

Overdose is not typical for the drug Oxy 10. Simply put, with abundant application of the gel to the skin, purely individual problems will arise, because the more gel is applied, the more time is needed for its complete absorption. But, naturally, there are symptoms that directly indicate elements of overdose. They are quite simple, because most often it is local irritation of the skin, excessive dryness of the skin, burning during application and action. Even in such cases, a positive effect is observed. But if a certain discomfort occurs, after stopping the use, the overdose markers simply disappear.

Interactions with other drugs

The interaction of Oxy 10 with other drugs was not observed during clinical trials, but it should be clearly understood that the simultaneous use of two drugs with similar effects can irreversibly lead to completely unforeseen consequences. The fact is that all such gels affect the epidermis, and it, in turn, is a very complex system. If such a system is subjected to massive drug action, a whole series of unforeseen reactions may occur, of which irritation is the mildest case.

Storage conditions

The storage conditions of Oxy 10 are quite ordinary, namely, it should be understood that it is necessary to protect the bottle from direct sunlight, because in addition to the simple process of burning out, the process of accelerating the expiration date may occur, from which it is clear that Oxy 10 should be hidden in a secluded place. The same applies to the inaccessibility of the drug for children, because children of different ages will try to use the drug in different ways for other purposes, which is completely unacceptable. It is also necessary to observe the storage temperature, namely not lower than 8 degrees Celsius and not higher than 28 degrees Celsius.

Special instructions

Special instructions for taking Oxy 10 include consultation with a dermatologist, as well as understanding all possible risks of occurrence of certain discomfort associated with excessive dryness of the skin, in some cases with excessive peeling of the skin in the first week. This also includes certain discomfort associated with both skin sensitivity and direct overdose, which manifests itself in the form of burning in the area of application. It is also necessary to focus on contraindications of the drug Oxy 10 for use during pregnancy, as well as for children under twelve years of age.

Shelf life

The shelf life of Oxy 10 directly depends on the storage conditions, namely: if all conditions are met correctly in the context of saving the drug from exposure to direct sunlight, maintaining the storage temperature in the range of the proposed. If all the listed conditions are met correctly, Oxy 10 has a shelf life of two years from the date of manufacture. Otherwise, there is an increased probability of getting a reduction in shelf life or even worse, simply a complete lack of a positive effect after applying the drug to the skin of the body.
