PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

Levomekol-vet ointment refers to combined antibacterial drugs for external use.

Levomycetin - D - (-) - threo-1-para-Nitrophenyl-2-dichloroacetyl-amino-propanediol-1,3 is an antibiotic of the chloramphenicol group. Effective against many gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms: staphylococci, streptococci, diplococci, salmonella, pasteurella, escherichia, proteus. Active against gram-negative anaerobes. Acts on strains of bacteria resistant to penicillin, streptomycin, tetracyclines, sulfonamides. Weakly active against acid-fast bacteria, clostridia and protozoa. The mechanism of action of chloramphenicol consists in inhibiting the synthesis of proteins of the microbial cell, blocking the formation of a peptide bond between amino acids and t-RNA, binding of peptides to peptidyl t-RNA.

Methyluracil refers to pyrimidine derivatives, which are building blocks of nucleic acids. The drug has anabolic and anti-catabolic activity, has a hematopoietic, leukopoietic, immunostimulating, anti-inflammatory effect.

Normalizing nucleic acid metabolism, Levomekol accelerates the processes of cell regeneration in wounds, accelerating the growth and granulation maturation of tissue and epithelization, stimulates erythro- and leukopoiesis, cellular and humoral factors of immunity. Levomycetin and methyluracil easily penetrate deep into tissues without damaging biological membranes. In the presence of pus and necrotic tissue, the antibacterial effect of the ointment remains.
