Product Information

Apply in a downward motion, in the direction of hair growth and gently massage into your skin. Avoid rubbing. van Heugten AJP, Braal CL, Versluijs-Helder M, Vromans H. The influence of cetomacrogol ointment processing on structure: a definitive screening design. Eur J Pharm Sci [Internet] 2017;99:279–284. Available from: http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0928098716305693 The buffered cetomacrogol cream did not show an extra peak in comparison to the non-buffered cream, hence, no newly formed allergen could be detected and the hypothesis regarding ‘compound allergy’ could be excluded. This still does not exclude the possibility of a newly formed small peak appearing beneath another broad one, but this would be extremely exceptional since a significant increase in area under the curve for any cream component could not be observed.

J Wound Care This randomised controlled trial has demonstrated that topical 90% medical-grade kanuka honey and 10% glycerine (Honevo) is an effective and well tolerated treatment for rosacea. About one-third of participants had a clinically significant improvement in the IGA-RSS after 8 weeks of Honevo treatment, twofold greater than that observed with the control treatment. We recommend consideration of the use of kanuka honey as a treatment for rosacea.

To be sure that all the separated cream components could be visualized, a universal detection method, i.e., flame ionization detection was proposed. The primary outcome variable identified the proportion in each treatment arm who had a two-point reduction or more in IGA-RSS, representing a clinically meaningful improvement in severity of rosacea, for example, a change from ‘severe’ to ‘moderate’, or from ‘moderate’ to ‘mild’. Thirty-four per cent of those who were randomised to Honevo had an IGA-RSS improvement of two or more at 8 weeks compared to 17% of the placebo group, and 13% achieved full resolution of rosacea compared to 3% in the placebo group. Although these point estimates are consistent with effectiveness, the CIs are wide which could be consistent with a small effect or quite large effect. This is especially the case for the post hoc analysis of IGA-RSS for the proportion of participants with complete resolution, which although it favours the active treatment, could be consistent with quite a small effect. The estimate of the location shift for the difference between the treatments was −1, (95% CI −1 to 0) at both weeks 2 and 8 and the estimated change in IGA-RSS at week 8 adjusted for baseline was −0.6 (95% CI −1.1 to −0.2). These findings reflect the variability in response to Honevo, perhaps dependent on subtypes of rosacea which were not assessed in this study. There are a number of methodological issues that are important in the consideration of the study findings. There are no standard validated tools for assessing the severity of rosacea, which is inherently difficult due to its varied clinical characteristics. The priority with this study of a honey product was to reduce potential bias by blinding of clinical assessments where possible, as the participant could not be blinded due to the appearance and smell of Honevo. It was for this reason we chose to use the seven-point IGA-RSS representing a global assessment of severity of rosacea that was undertaken by an investigator who was blinded to treatment.Chang R-K, Raw A, Lionberger R, Yu L.

Used to treat dry, sensitive skin as well as eczema and itching, cetomacrogol cream FNA is a mitigating and protective skin cream. It contains cetomacrogol (an emulsifying agent), cetiol (a fast-spreading dry emollient), sorbitol (a humectant and texturizing agent), water and the preservative sorbic acid.

Biocontrol of Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli O157:H7 in meat by using phages immobilized on modified cellulose membranes. Appl Environ Microbiol Aqueous creams are water miscible, and are readily removed by washing. The amount of water present in the cream can reduce the stability of many active ingredients and encourage the growth of micro-organisms, unless suitable preservatives are used. The preservatives specified in aqueous cream formulae may be replaced by suitable alternative antimicrobial preservative agents, provided that the name and concentration of the alternative agent are stated on the label.Phage cream inhibited bacterial growth in liquid broth culture and on a petri dish No stability study conducted The worsening crisis of MDR bacterial infections has heightened the interest in bacteriophage (phage) therapy. Phage therapy utilizes virulent (lytic) phages, which obligately kill their bacterial host whilst self-replicating during the lytic cycle of infection. Although there has been one report using genome engineering of lysogenic phages [ 5], until recently only lytic phages have been prioritised for therapy and explored for the treatment of wound infections. Advances in techniques used to engineer phages for therapy are reviewed elsewhere [ 6]. Phage therapy has regained attention due to its ability to kill bacteria regardless of their antibiotic-resistance profile [ 7]. The first report of phage therapy for surgical and wound infection was during the Finnish Campaign in 1939–1940. The soldiers were treated with a mix of Staphylococcus and Streptococcus phages prepared at the Eliava Institute of Bacteriophages, Microbiology and Virology in Tbilisi, Georgia. Phage therapy saved the lives of 83% of infected soldiers, compared with 58% using other treatment options [ 8]. Similarly, another report showed 81% survival in phage-treated soldiers and 46% survival in those on other medications [ 9]. Furthermore, mobile sanitary brigades were in operation to provide prophylactic treatment of wounds, which reduced the number of gas gangrene by 30% in three independent brigades [ 9]. Despite such an excellent treatment outcome, the use of phages was soon discontinued in the Western counties with the discovery of a broad-spectrum antibiotic, penicillin [ 10]. Fortunately, phages therapy was continuously practiced and improved in the Eastern European countries, particularly in Russia, Poland and Georgia. Over the past decade, phage therapy has regained traction in response to emergence of MDR bacteria. Now, there are a growing number of studies indicating that phage therapy could be a promising prospect for treating acute and chronic wound infections caused by MDR bacteria.
