Acriflavine & Glycerine
Available in 2.5L and 500ml
A useful antiseptic (for wounds) containing 0.1% acriflavine hydrochloride in glycerin BP.
It is a 0, I% solution of Acriflavine in pure Glycerine.
Uses and Applications:
Acridines are all potent antiseptics. Acriflavine, like other acridine derivatives, is effective against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. It possesses the advantage of retaining its activity in the presence of body fluids and pus and of being comparatively free from toxic or irritant action.Acriflavine is suitable for the treatment of contaminated or suppurating (weeping) wounds. (The wound having being thoroughly cleansed).
Glycerine is used externally for its emollient action.When applied undiluted to mucous membranes or broken skin, glycerin absorbs moisture and enables drugs held in solution to penetrate more readily. It is employed for its hygroscopic action in inflammatory conditions.
How To Apply
Acriflavine in glycerine solution can be applied into the wound as an alternative if proper irrigation is not possible, because it promotes wound drainage and has a hygroscopic action which may reduce local swelling when applied with well-padded bandages.
The wounds are left unsutured to provide adequate drainage. Daily bandage changes are required, usually for the first 5 – days.
The use of an Acriflavine in Glycerine compound in the management of contaminated and infected wounds has stood the test of time in general veterinary practices over five decades.
Acriflavine in Glycerine enhances the wound drainage due to its hygroscopic hypertonic action.
