Lubrication of ulcerative and burn surfaces - infected wounds, ulcers and skin burns.

Rinsing the mouth and oropharynx - for infectious and inflammatory diseases of the mucous membrane of the mouth and oropharynx (including tonsillitis).

For washing and douching for gynecological and urological diseases - colpitis and urethritis.

For gastric lavage - in case of poisoning caused by ingestion of alkaloids (morphine, aconitine, nicotine), hydrocyanic acid, phosphorus, quinine; skin - if aniline gets on it; eyes - when they are affected by poisonous insects.

Outwardly, in aqueous solutions for washing wounds (0.1-0.5%), for rinsing the mouth and throat (0.01-0.1%), for lubricating ulcerative and burn surfaces (2-5%), for douching (0.02-0.1%) in gynecological and urological practice, as well as gastric lavage in case of poisoning.

For dissolution, several crystals are placed in a glass of warm water and mixed, the solution is used only freshly prepared.

The drug contains at least 99.0% KMnO4.

Hypersensitivity.

Trade name of the drug: Potassium permanganate

International non-proprietary name of the drug: Potassium permanganate

Chemical name: Potassium permanganate

Dosage form:

Powder for solution preparation for external use.

Composition:

The drug contains at least 99.0% KMnO4.

Description: dark or red-violet crystals or fine crystalline powder with a metallic luster.

Pharmacotherapeutic group:

antiseptic.

ATX code [D08AX06]

Pharmacological action: antiseptic.

In contact with organic substances, it releases atomic oxygen. The oxide formed during the reduction of potassium manganese permanganate forms complex compounds with proteins - albuminates (due to this, potassium permanganate in low concentrations has an astringent, and in concentrated solutions it has an irritating, cauterizing and tanning effect). It also has a deodorant effect. Effective in the treatment of burns and ulcers.

The ability of potassium permanganate to neutralize some poisons underlies the use of its solutions for gastric lavage in case of poisoning. When ingested, it is absorbed, providing a hematotoxic effect (leads to the development of methemoglobinemia).

Indications:

Lubrication of ulcerative and burn surfaces - infected wounds, ulcers and skin burns.

Rinsing the mouth and oropharynx - for infectious and inflammatory diseases of the mucous membrane of the mouth and oropharynx (including tonsillitis).

For washing and douching for gynecological and urological diseases - colpitis and urethritis.

For gastric lavage - in case of poisoning caused by ingestion of alkaloids (morphine, aconitine, nicotine), hydrocyanic acid, phosphorus, quinine; skin - if aniline gets on it; eyes - when they are affected by poisonous insects.

Contraindications:

Hypersensitivity.

Method of administration and dosage:

Outwardly, in aqueous solutions for washing wounds (0.1-0.5%), for rinsing the mouth and throat (0.01-0.1%), for lubricating ulcerative and burn surfaces (2-5%), for douching (0.02-0.1%) in gynecological and urological practice, as well as gastric lavage in case of poisoning.

For dissolution, several crystals are placed in a glass of warm water and mixed, the solution is used only freshly prepared.

Side effects: allergic reactions, when using concentrated solutions - burns and irritation.

Overdose:

symptoms: sharp pain in the mouth, along the esophagus, in the abdomen, vomiting, diarrhea; the mucous membrane of the oral cavity and pharynx is edematous, dark brown, purple, possible laryngeal edema, the development of mechanical asphyxia, burn shock, motor agitation, seizures, parkinsonism, hemorrhagic colitis, nephropathy, hepatopathy. With low acidity of gastric juice, the development of methemoglobinemia with severe cyanosis and shortness of breath is possible. A lethal dose for children is about 3 g, for adults 0.3-0.5 g / kg.
