Ointment Miramistin®-Darnitsa contains a cationic antiseptic miramistin, which has an antimicrobial effect on gram-positive and gram-negative, aerobic and anaerobic, spore-forming and asporogenous microflora in the form of monocultures and microbial associations, including hospital strains with multidrug resistance to antibiotics.The drug is more effective against gram-positive bacteria (staphylococcus, streptococcus, etc.). Has an antifungal effect on Ascomycetes of the genus Aspergillus and Penicillium, yeasts (Rhodotorula rubra, Torulopsis gabrata etc.) and yeast-like (Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida krusei etc.) mushrooms, on dermatophytes (Trychophyton rubrum, Trychophyton mentagrophytes, Trychophyton verrucosum, Trychophyton schoenleini, Trychophyton violaceum, Epidermophyton, Kaufinan-Wolf, Epidermophyton floccosum, Microsporum gypseum, Microsporum canis etc.), as well as other pathogenic fungi (for example, Pityrosporum orbiculare (Malassezia furfur)) in the form of monocultures and microbial associations, including a fungal microflora with resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs.
The drug reduces the resistance of bacteria and fungi to antibiotics. Due to the wide spectrum of antimicrobial action, miramistin effectively prevents infection of wounds and burns, activating regeneration processes. The drug has a pronounced hyperosmolar activity, due to which it stops wound and perifocal inflammation, absorbs purulent exudate and selectively dehydrates necrotic tissues, contributing to the formation of a dry scab. In this case, the ointment does not damage granulation and viable skin cells, does not inhibit marginal epithelization.
