The composition of 1 ml of solution for injection includes 42.5 mg of the active substance solcoseryl (deproteinized dialysate from the blood of dairy calves) and water for injection as an auxiliary component.
1 g of eye gel contains 8.3 g of the active substance solcoseryl (deproteinized dialysate from the blood of dairy calves) and auxiliary ingredients: sodium carboxymethylcellulose, sorbitol, water for injection, benzalkonium chloride.

1 g of Solcoseryl ointment contains 2.07 mg of the active substance solcoseryl (deproteinized dialysate from the blood of dairy calves) and a number of auxiliary components: methyl parahydroxybenzoate, propyl parahydroxybenzoate, cetyl alcohol, cholesterol, white petrolatum, water for injection.

Rejuvenating mask

To get a rejuvenating solution, you need to take:

• Dimexide compound with clean water 1 to 10;
• drop essential oil into it and lubricate your face;
• apply “Solcoseryl”;
• Keep the mask on for 1 hour, constantly moisturizing your face to avoid a hard crust. Then wash with water.

What oils can be used: tea tree oil, rosemary, grape seed and others.

pharmachologic effect

Solcoseryl is a medicine that affects mainly metabolic processes in tissues. They activate tissue metabolic processes, improve trophism and stimulate tissue repair and regeneration when exposed to damaging factors.

Solcoseryl in injection form belongs to the pharmacotherapeutic group of hemodialysates and hemofiltrates, ointment and jelly - to the category of drugs used to treat wounds and ulcers (including poorly healing ones), gel - to the category of drugs used to treat ophthalmological diseases.

What kind of drug?

First you need to familiarize yourself with the composition of the product and study the instructions for its use. A medicine is produced under the name Solcoseryl, the basis of which is a biologically active extract isolated from the blood plasma of newborn calves . Proteins and antigens are removed from the raw materials, and then the resulting drug is enriched with additional natural agents. The main effect of the resulting product is of oxygen to tissues , which promotes faster regeneration and cell renewal.

In addition to the main substance, the composition of any medicine also includes additional ones, these are:

• Palmitic alcohol is a substance obtained from coconut oil. It has a disinfecting effect, creates a protective “barrier” that protects cells from the negative effects of external factors.
• Cholesterol is a lipid substance that softens and accelerates cell regeneration.
• Water is an essential ingredient for the skin to maintain normal hydration levels.
• Vaseline is a product that has a softening effect.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

The main component of Solcoseryl preparations are fractions of the blood of calves with natural low-molecular substances included in their composition, the molecular weight of which does not exceed 5000 daltons.

To date, its properties have only been partially studied. In vitro tests, as well as preclinical and clinical studies, have shown that calf blood extract:

• promotes the restoration and/or maintenance of aerobic metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation processes, and also ensures the replenishment of cells that do not receive sufficient nutrition with high-energy phosphates;
• in vitro enhances the utilization of oxygen and activates the transport of glucose into tissues and cells suffering from hypoxia and metabolically depleted;
• helps improve repair and regeneration processes in damaged tissues that do not receive sufficient nutrition;
• prevents the development or reduces the severity of secondary degradation and pathological changes in reversibly damaged cells and cellular systems;
• in in vitro models activates collagen synthesis;
• has a stimulating effect on the proliferation (reproduction) of cells and their migration (in in vitro models).

Thus, Solcoseryl protects tissues that are in a state of oxygen starvation and nutritional deficiency, and accelerates the processes of their restoration and healing.

Solcoseryl eye gel is a dosage form that was developed specifically for the treatment of damage to the stroma of the cornea.

The gel-like consistency of the product ensures its uniform distribution on the cornea, and good adhesive properties allow it to remain on it for a long period of time. The use of eye gel accelerates the restoration of damaged tissues and prevents scarring.

The rate and extent of absorption, distribution, as well as the rate and route of elimination of the active substance from the patient’s body cannot be determined using conventional pharmacokinetic methods, since protein-free calf blood extract has pharmacodynamic effects that are characteristic of molecules with different chemical and physical properties.

In the process of studying the pharmacokinetic characteristics of Solcoseryl solution in animals, it was found that after a bolus injection, the effect of the drug develops within half an hour. The effect lasts for three hours after administration of the solution.

How does it work?

When using the product externally, the following results are noted:

• the rate of regeneration and restoration of damaged cells increases
• nutrition improves ;
• stimulates the production of collagen , a substance that ensures the elasticity of the skin.

Thus, by regularly using face masks with Solcoseryl, you can expect the following results:

• increasing the elasticity and firmness of the skin;
• improving the clarity of the oval of the face ;
• softening and moisturizing;
• leveling the relief - smoothing wrinkles, narrowing enlarged pores;
• relieving irritation and inflammation ;
• improvement of complexion .

Indications for use

Solcoseryl injections - what are they for and what groups of patients are they prescribed for?

Solcoseryl in ampoules is indicated for patients who have been diagnosed with occlusive peripheral artery disease of the third or fourth degree according to the Fontaine classification and who have contraindications or intolerance to other vasoactive drugs.

It is also prescribed to patients with chronic venous insufficiency , which is accompanied by the formation of treatment-resistant trophic ulcers , as well as to patients with disorders of cerebral metabolism.

What is Solcoseryl ointment and jelly for?

The use of ointment and jelly is advisable for the treatment of minor injuries (for example, abrasions or cuts), frostbite, first and second degree burns (thermal or solar), difficult-to-heal wounds (for example, trophic skin disorders of venous etiology or bedsores ).

Indications for use of eye gel

Solcoseryl eye gel is recommended:

• for the treatment of mechanical injuries and erosive damage to the cornea and conjunctiva;
• to accelerate the healing processes of postoperative scars in the postoperative period (for example, after a cornea transplant, surgery to remove a cloudy lens, surgical treatment of glaucoma , etc.);
• for the treatment of burns of the cornea of ​​various origins (thermal, chemical or radiation);
• for the treatment of ulcerative lesions of the cornea and keratitis of various etiologies;
• for dystrophic lesions of the cornea of ​​various etiologies, including neuroparalytic keratitis , endothelial-epithelial dystrophy ( bullous keratopathy ), etc.;
• for the treatment of corneal xerophthalmia with lagofatalmos (non-closure of the palpebral fissure);
• to improve the tolerability of contact lenses and reduce the time of adaptation to them.

Indications for use of Solcoseryl dragees

The drug in the form of pills is taken to treat trophic and radiation ulcers , bedsores , gangrene , and chronic venous insufficiency . They are also prescribed to patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers and to patients who require skin and/or corneal grafting procedures.

Contraindications

Administration of the solution is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to calf blood dialysates. The solution is also contraindicated for atopy and for persons allergic to milk.

Since the ointment, jelly and solution contain derivatives of parahydroxybenzoic acid , which are used as preservatives, as well as trace concentrations of benzoic acid in free form, it is not used in the presence of allergic reactions to the above substances.

Ointment and jelly should be prescribed with caution to persons with a predisposition to allergic reactions.

A contraindication to the use of eye gel is hypersensitivity to its components. Since the eye gel can cause temporary visual impairment, you should not drive a car or operate potentially dangerous machinery for half an hour after its use.

Professional opinion

It must be said that reviews from doctors and cosmetologists about the use of masks based on Solcoseryl are not the most enthusiastic. Doctors remind that this product is by no means a cosmetic cream, but a medicine, so its uncontrolled use for other purposes will not bring any benefit .

However, cosmetologists do not deny the fact that this ointment stimulates regeneration and collagen synthesis , that is, its rejuvenating effect is not a myth. Therefore, it is impossible to categorically state that the use of ointment for cosmetic purposes is useless.

However, caution must not be forgotten. Be sure to do a preliminary allergy test so that you don’t have to treat your skin for a long time from the consequences of improper use of medications.

Side effects

Administration of Solcoseryl IV or IM in very rare cases (their frequency does not exceed 0.1%) provokes the development of allergic or anaphylactic reactions, which are most likely caused by class E immunoglobulins.

If body temperature rises, urticaria , swelling and hyperemia at the site of drug administration, the use of Solcoseryl is stopped, and symptomatic treatment will be prescribed to eliminate the symptoms that appear.

Since the solution contains potassium, its administration may cause pain at the injection site.

When using Solcoseryl cream, a short-term burning sensation may be felt at the site of application. Discontinuation of the drug is required only in cases where the unpleasant sensation does not disappear for a long period of time.

In isolated cases, the use of jelly and ointment can cause the development of allergic reactions. If allergy symptoms appear, the use of these products should be discontinued.

Toxicological studies of Solcoseryl eye gel have shown the high safety of this drug when used for its intended purpose in accordance with the instructions.

After instillation of the product, a short-term burning sensation and mild irritation may be observed, which are not reasons for stopping treatment. Repeated instillations in rare cases provoke the development of allergic reactions (a similar effect is also observed during treatment with other ophthalmic drugs for topical use).

Precautionary measures

Despite the obvious benefits of the drug, it cannot be used by everyone. To avoid harm to your health, do not forget to perform an allergy test before use. Skin reactions are individual, and the mask option that is ideal for one woman may cause negative reactions in another.

Important! It is not recommended to use Solcoseryl for cosmetic care if there are colloidal scars on the skin. Despite the fact that there are no obvious contraindications to the use of Solcoseryl during pregnancy and breastfeeding, you should not take risks and use this skin care product during these periods.

When using Solcoseryl, side effects may occur; when used externally, the following may occur:

• burning or itching;
• formation of local edema;
• development of urticaria (small reddish rash)

If any of the above symptoms appear, you should stop using the drug for cosmetic care.

Instructions for use of Solcoseryl (Method and dosage)

Solution for injection, instructions for use

In cases where the patient's condition allows, the drug is recommended to be used in the form of an injection solution diluted at least 50:50 with saline or glucose solution.

Solcoseryl in ampoules is intended for slow administration in the form of intravenous injections or infusions. If intravenous administration is not possible, the drug can be injected into the muscle.

Since the drug in its pure form is a hypertonic solution, it should be administered slowly.

For intravenous infusion, the drug should be pre-diluted with 0.25 l of 0.9% NaCl solution or 5% glucose solution. Solcoseryl solution is administered intravenously by drip. The rate of administration depends on the hemodynamic status of the patient.

Patients with occlusive disease of peripheral arteries of the third or fourth degree according to the Fontaine classification are shown daily injection into a vein of 0.85 g (or 20 ml of undiluted solution) Solcoseryl.

The duration of use is usually up to four weeks and depends on the clinical situation.

Patients with chronic venous insufficiency , which is accompanied by the formation of treatment-resistant trophic ulcers , are indicated for intravenous administration of 0.425 g (or 10 ml of undiluted solution) Solcoseryl three times a week.

The duration of the course of treatment should not exceed four weeks (it is determined depending on the nature of the disease).

To prevent the appearance of peripheral venous edema , therapy is supplemented by applying a pressure bandage using an elastic bandage. If the patient has skin trophic disorders, treatment is carried out by combining injections or infusions of Solcoseryl solution with the use of jelly, and then ointment.

Patients who have suffered ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke are prescribed daily intravenous administration of 0.425 or 0.85 g of Solcoseryl (10 or 20 ml of undiluted solution) as the main course. The duration of the main course is 10 days.

Further treatment involves daily administration of 85 mg (or 2 ml of undiluted solution) Solcoseryl for one month.

In severe forms of brain contusions, daily injection of 1000 mg of Solcoseryl into a vein (corresponding to 23-24 ml of undiluted solution) is prescribed for 5 days.

The drug is administered intramuscularly undiluted at a dose of 2 ml/day.

Solcoseryl jelly and ointment: instructions for use

Cream and ointment are intended for application directly to the wound surface. Before using these dosage forms, the wound is first cleaned using a disinfectant solution.

Patients with trophic ulcers , as well as in cases of purulent infection of wounds, require preliminary surgical treatment before starting treatment.

When using jelly and ointment for frostbite , as well as for treating ulcers and skin injuries, it is important to remember that only sterile dressings should be used to treat damaged areas.

The gel is intended for application to fresh (including wet) wounds and weeping ulcers. The product is applied in a thin layer to a previously cleaned wound surface two or three times a day.

To treat areas where epithelization has begun, the use of ointment is indicated. The use of jelly is advisable until pronounced granulation tissue begins to form on the damaged surface of the skin and the wound begins to dry out.

The ointment is used primarily to treat dry wounds. The product is applied in a thin layer to a previously cleaned wound surface once or twice a day. If necessary, cover the treated surface with a bandage.

The course of treatment with the drug in this dosage form continues until the wound heals and is completely healed with elastic tissue.

For patients with severe trophic damage to the skin and soft tissues, it is recommended to combine jelly and ointment with the injection form of Solcoseryl.

Experience with the use of jelly and ointment for children is limited.

The drug does not have such release forms as suppositories. However, in the complex therapy of chronic colitis (inflammation of the colon), microenemas with Solcoseryl jelly are often prescribed.

Before use, the jelly contained in the tube (all 20 g) is added to 30 ml of warm water and after the enema procedure, which is carried out to cleanse the intestines, it is administered daily for 10 days.

Solcoseryl eye gel, instructions for use

Unless otherwise instructed by the attending physician, the eye gel is instilled into the conjunctival cavity, one drop three or four times a day. It is recommended to use the product daily until complete recovery.

In particularly difficult cases, eye ointment can be used one drop per hour. If the patient is simultaneously prescribed eye drops and Solcoseryl eye gel, the gel should be applied approximately half an hour after the drops.

During the period of adaptation to contact lenses, the drug is instilled into the conjunctival cavity immediately before installing the lenses and immediately after removing them.

Dragee Solcoseryl: instructions for use

The instructions recommend taking 100 mg tablets three times a day.

special instructions

Studies regarding the safety of using Solcoseryl solution for the treatment of children have not been conducted, therefore the drug is not recommended for the treatment of children under the age of 18 years.

Experience in treating children with the use of eye gel and topical dosage forms of the drug is also limited.

Solcoseryl in ampoules should be administered separately from other drugs (it is especially incompatible with phytoextracts). The exceptions are isotonic 0.9% NaCl solution and 5% glucose solution. It is also not recommended to dilute the product in potassium-containing solutions for infusion.

Eye gels are characterized by the ability to stick to contact lenses, so it is recommended to stop wearing lenses during treatment with the drug.

If allergic reactions associated with the use of the drug occur, you should immediately report them to your doctor. If the drug is used to treat an infectious disease of the cornea, therapy is supplemented with the prescription of appropriate antimicrobial agents.

Avoid contact of the gel with soft contact lenses as it may discolor them.

If necessary, treatment with Solcoseryl can be supplemented with antibacterial, vasodilating and other drugs.

Solcoseryl in cosmetology: for the face, hands, rough elbows and heels, for the skin around the eyes

In medicine, Solcoseryl preparations are used to accelerate the healing of damaged skin; in home cosmetology, they are used as a remedy for acne, stretch marks, and wrinkles. They are used to soften the skin, increase its turgor, improve complexion and eliminate acne .

In cosmetology, the ointment can be used as a stand-alone product (it is applied pointwise to problem areas, in the form of a mask once a week before bedtime and two to three times a week on the skin around the eyes), or in combination with other products, in particular with the drug Dimexide . Let's look at how to use these medications together.

For the face, Dimexide and Solcoseryl are used as follows: on the face, neck and décolleté, previously cleaned with peeling agents (you can also do alkaline peeling using tar soap, salt and soda), apply a solution of Dimexide with water, prepared in a ratio of 1:10 (enough dilute 5 ml (teaspoon) of Dimexide in 50 ml of water); Before the product has time to be absorbed, Solcoseryl ointment is applied to it in a thick layer.

If the gel is used in cosmetology, then the mask should be periodically sprayed with thermal water (you can also use regular water through a spray bottle). The mask is left on the face for about half an hour to an hour, then washed off and a light hypoallergenic cream is applied to the skin.

According to women who have tried this mask recipe on themselves, Solcoseryl ointment is more comfortable for the face than gel (after application, you don’t have to wash it off, just remove the residue with a napkin). In addition, it is not recommended to use a gel mask more than once a month.

Used as a remedy for wrinkles around the eyes, Solcoseryl ointment has proven itself to be a very effective remedy. Applying it like a regular cream, within a week you can see that the number of wrinkles and wrinkles has decreased, the skin has tightened and smoothed, and its color has become fresher and healthier.

Dimexide and Solcoseryl are no less effective against wrinkles, and perhaps even more effective. This is due to the ability of Dimexide to enhance the penetration of the active substance of drugs deep into the tissue. After using these products in combination, skin irregularities and imperfections disappear, and the effect of the mask is comparable to the effect of Botox .

The gel and ointment can also be used to soften rough skin on the elbows and heels. It is best to apply them to problem areas before bed.

Results

The effect on facial skin has not yet been fully studied, but masks with this drug are somewhat popular among women. Especially as a remedy against spot inflammation and acne. In addition, they rejuvenate and cleanse the skin, and are effective against wrinkles and other age-related changes on the skin. Using the product has its own characteristics:

1. To eliminate skin problems, you can use both ointment and gel. The gel is more suitable for oily skin, and the ointment for dry skin.
2. Masks with Solcoseryl for the face should not be kept on the face for more than an hour, since after this time the beneficial properties of the drug disappear.
3. Wash off the product with warm water.
4. The drug may have side effects. Therefore, if even minimal negative signs appear, the mask must be thoroughly rinsed with warm water and should not be used again.

Reviews of Solcoseryl

Almost all reviews left on the forums about injections, eye gel, jelly and Solcoseryl ointment are positive. Rare negative reviews are due largely to the fact that the drug provoked allergic reactions associated with intolerance to its active component.

Reviews of Solcoseryl gel and the drug in the form of an ointment allow us to conclude that these drugs effectively cope not only with minor scratches and minor burns, but also help cure difficult-to-heal wounds and ulcers.

The effectiveness of the ointment in cosmetology is also highly appreciated. Reviews of Solcoseryl ointment for the face indicate that this is truly an indispensable product for those who want to quickly get rid of wrinkles, acne, and simply improve the color and tone of the skin.

Gel is no less effective against wrinkles, but cosmetologists believe that it should not be used as part of masks too often (optimally - once a month). The ointment can be used as a regular cream.

The effectiveness of Solcoseryl against wrinkles increases when combined with Dimexide , which is due to the latter’s ability to improve the penetration of the active substance deeper into the skin.

Benefits for the skin

Solcoseryl is a pharmaceutical drug that is used to heal wounds and burns of various etiologies. But at the same time, it can be used to prepare effective masks that have a positive effect on the skin.

Solcoseryl is also available in the form of injections, but for cosmetic purposes it is most convenient to use the gel.

And as a result, they:

• restore its firmness and elasticity;
• level the microrelief;
• activate blood microcirculation;
• correct the oval of the face;
• saturate dermal cells with oxygen, enhance collagen synthesis;
• remove focal inflammations and acne.
