Viumxidin® (Solution) Instructions for Use
ATC Code
J01XX (Other antibacterial drugs)
Active Substance
Hydroxymethylquinoxalindioxide (Grouping name)
Clinical-Pharmacological Group
Antibacterial drug, a derivative of quinoxaline
Pharmacotherapeutic Group
Systemic antibacterial agents; other antibacterial agents
Pharmacological Action
A broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, a derivative of quinoxaline. It acts bactericidally.
Active againstProteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Friedländer’s bacillus, Escherichia coli, Shigella dysenteria, Shigella flexneri, Shigella boydii, Shigella sonnei, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., pathogenic anaerobes ( Clostridium perfringens).
It acts on bacterial strains resistant to other antimicrobial drugs, including antibiotics. It does not have a local irritant effect. The development of bacterial drug resistance is possible.
When administered intravenously, it is characterized by a low therapeutic range, which necessitates strict adherence to the recommended doses.
Treatment of burn and purulent-necrotic wounds promotes faster cleansing of the wound surface, stimulates reparative regeneration and marginal epithelialization, and has a beneficial effect on the course of the wound process.
Experimental studies have demonstrated the presence of teratogenic, embryotoxic, and mutagenic effects.
Pharmacokinetics
After intravenous administration, the therapeutic concentration in the blood is maintained for 4-6 hours. The time to reach Cmax in the blood is 1-2 hours after a single administration.
It penetrates well and quickly into all organs and tissues and is excreted by the kidneys. It does not accumulate upon repeated administration.
Indications
For intravenous administration septic conditions (including in patients with burn disease); purulent meningitis; purulent-inflammatory processes with symptoms of generalization.
For intracavitary administration purulent processes in the thoracic and abdominal cavities, including purulent pleurisy; pleural empyema; peritonitis; cystitis; gallbladder empyema; prevention of infectious complications after bladder catheterization.
For external, topical application wound and burn infection (superficial and deep purulent wounds of various locations, long-term non-healing wounds and trophic ulcers, soft tissue phlegmons, infected burns, purulent wounds in osteomyelitis); wounds with the presence of deep purulent cavities (lung abscess, soft tissue abscesses, pelvic tissue phlegmons, postoperative wounds of the urinary and biliary tracts, purulent mastitis); pustular skin diseases.
