Product Details
Dermisol Cream
Dermisol Cream is a white cream. The product is prepared from the following active ingredients:
Propylene Glycol PhEur 1.750% v/w
Malic acid 0.375% w/w
Benzoic Acid PhEur 0.025% w/w
Salicylic Acid PhEur 0.006% w/w
Dermisol Cream may be used to encourage wound healing in horses, cattle, dogs and cats particularly when this process is impaired by the presence of necrotic tissue, coagulum, debris or wax. This may occur in cases of traumatic injury, surgical wounds, infected wounds and otitis externa.
Directions
Dermisol Cream
Dermisol Cream aids healing by removing dead and necrotic tissue from affected areas.
This is achieved by differential swelling of necrotic and healthy tissues leading to separation of the devitalised areas and embedded debris.
Dosage and administration: Dermisol Cream is for topical use only. Dermisol Cream should be applied twice daily although more frequent applications may be made if necessary.
Wounds: The cream should be spread liberally on to wound surfaces and before each new application it is advisable to wash the area with Dermisol Multicleanse Solution so that loose slough and cream from the previous application are removed without raising the pH.
Otitis externa: In cases of otitis externa, ears should be cleaned with Dermisol Multicleanse Solution prior to the introduction of Dermisol Cream into the external auditory canal.
Contra-indications, warnings, etc: Avoid contact with the eyes; wash hands after use.
When used for treating udder lesions in cattle, the udder and the teats should be washed immediately before the next milking.
Do not use in conjunction with other products, e.g. teat dips, udder disinfectants, etc. as these will almost certainly neutralise and reduce the effectiveness of Dermisol.
Do not use in the treatment of otitis externa in animals with a ruptured ear drum.
Cattle
Meat and milk withdrawal periods – Nil.
Pharmaceutical precautions: Store below 25°C.

General precautions
Keep out of reach of children. For animal treatment only. For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. Wash hands after use.
Package quantities: Dermisol Cream is available in 30 g and 100 g tubes.
Further information: Dermisol aids the removal of dead tissue and any embedded debris by causing maximum differential swelling between live and dead areas.
This is achieved in two ways:
(a) The low pH causes separation of collagen molecules by rupturing the hydrogen bonding. The optimum pH to achieve this effect is between pH 2 and pH 3.
(b) The organic acid reacts with carboxyl and amino groups in the collagen. The insertion of the organic acid forces the collagen chains apart.
In both cases the devitalised tissues absorb water and swell markedly.
Healthy tissue is unaffected because of natural barriers to organic acids and sufficient buffering capacity to maintain a near neutral pH.
