Reviews

We offer you to read reviews of people who used Fukorcin:

Victoria. We have been rescued many times with the help of fucocine. Especially it was useful when children were small. This is a very good antiseptic, therefore, at the slightest abrasions, wound, cracks, a solution was used. Saving at stomatitis, when the main drugs did not help. Very much helped with streptoderma, with suppuration of the burrs. Have cured a deprive, when the daughter has caught from a cat, the cat too have safely treated fukortsinom in measures of the further safety. We have it always at hand and now, children have grown up, grandchildren are growing up, and fukortsin continues to help us out.
Natalia. A wonderful tool! I have candidiasis mycosis on my fingers. Contact with detergents and ordinary household dust causes inflammation. The skin around the nails and on the phalanges of the fingers begins to crack, itches and hurts. The dermatologist prescribed me a colorless castellan and clotrimazole cream - it's just a rescue! Just as the green was used extensively - from the infant's navels to the broken knees - this liquid can also be used!
Svetlana. Good afternoon, the youngest daughter had small wounds on her foot, most likely brought from the kindergarten. I went to the pharmacy for a drug against the fungus, but the pharmacist, after learning what was the matter, advised me fukortsin. I smeared my leg every evening, about a week later, these wounds have disappeared. Honestly, I did not believe in its effectiveness, but fukortsin proved to be good, and it costs a penny.

Analogues

The Fukortzin has no structural analogs for the active substance. You can replace the drug with any solution that has antifungal, antimicrobial effects (iodine, zelenka, alcohol).

Before buying an analogue, consult your doctor.

Zelenka or Fukortsin - which is better?

Zelenka (brilliant green) has a poorer composition compared with Fukorcin, and therefore a less wide range of therapeutic effects. Fukortsin has a more pronounced drying effect compared to the green, so that when it is applied, crusts on the wound and sores are formed more quickly. In addition, Fukortsin has antibacterial and antifungal action, and "zelenka" - only antibacterial.

Moreover, the spectrum of antibacterial action in "zelenki" is much narrower than in Fukortsin, since a solution of brilliant green It acts only on Gram-positive microorganisms, and Fukortzin - on Gram-positive and Gram-negative. Due to the breadth of antimicrobial action, Fukortzin very effectively prevents and eliminates the infectious process in wounds, which does not make green.

Therefore, for a combination of positive properties and therapeutic effectiveness, Fucocin can be considered more effective and, accordingly, the preferred drug.

Shelf life and storage conditions

Fukortsin should be stored in a dark place inaccessible to children. The temperature regime should be specified on the packaging, as depending on the manufacturer, it can vary, for example, Fukortsin produced by OGUP "Kirovskaya pharmaceutical factory "should be stored at a temperature of 15 degrees, and production of CJSC" Moscow Pharmaceutical Factory "- up to 20 degrees.
