Hormonal drug "Sinaflan". Does it help acne or not? Hormonal preparations Nizhpharm Sinaflan - “Sinaflan for acne and herpes? Of course, this effective ointment will do the trick here, but the treatment is akin to how to chop nuts with a tank caterpillar

Sinaflan ointment is used for acne and herpes, psoriasis and allergic manifestations. But since this is a hormonal ointment, it makes sense to use Sinaflan only on the last points. Although, it also works on the first one! But about the use in children ... I will express my opinion, and you decide for yourself.

• Attention!
• There are not very nice photos in the review ( shows a visual result of the work of the ointment BEFORE / AFTER)

Sinaflan - a very strong ointment , and she is able to cope with the most serious damage to the skin, non-healing wounds, etc.

But, if we turn to the mechanism of its action, it becomes clear that where do legs grow from- such an ointment is simple CAN NOT don't help. And this help comes at a high price. Therefore, every time the hand reaches for the cherished tube-savior - Sinaflan ointment, is it worth thinking ten times or is now the case when you cannot do without the help of such an ointment? Or will a less powerful remedy cope in some simpler situation, and should Sinaflan ointment be left in case when there really is nothing without it?

So what do we have.

A small tube designed in the classic Nizhpharm style - the same white tube, the same green lines as other drugs of this brand.

Very simple, but extremely recognizable.

The tube is aluminum, but for me it is already ( in combination with the manufacturer Nizhpharm) is a kind of quality mark, I can’t even imagine their preparations in other containers. The spout is sealed, opened with the back of the lid, and from there, with light pressure, the ointment itself is shown.

Sinaflan is hormonal ointment .

And not just a hormonal ointment, but an ointment " old generation", hitting not exactly at a small target, but creating " a huge funnel with a multi-kilometer affected area".

• Full composition:

fluocinolone acetonide - 250 mcg

Excipients: propylene glycol, petroleum jelly, anhydrous lanolin, ceresin (up to 100 g)

Everything is extremely simple in the composition

• Appearance:

The appearance of the thick Sinaflan ointment comes from its composition - a mixture of petroleum jelly and lanolin. True, the second one is smaller here, since the mixture is not as yellow and sticky as another Nizhpharm ointment with a similar base - Tetracycline . But she is still a sticky a Sinaflan is simpler in this regard.

If someone has the phrase " hmm, lanolin... lanolin, something familiar...", then I quickly remind - useless piece for the nipples of nursing mothers, Purelan in a yellow tube .

What else are these two ointments similar to, except for the vaseline-lanolin base? In its effectiveness, unlike the same Purelan. Here a logical question arises - why didn’t I then use an effective tetracycline ointment for the problems described in the review? It's simple: the mechanism of action is completely different, and for some problems ( atopic skin or, for example, hormonal inflammation) from tetracycline there will simply be no effect or it will be minimal.

• Operating principle:

It has anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, antiexudative and antipruritic effects. Reduces the manifestations or eliminates the inflammatory skin reaction.

I often "scold" drugs because manufacturers set too high standards and loud promises, and the product simply does not live up to and cannot fulfill all those unreal things that are expected of him...

So, Sinaflan is just the case when " the boy said - the boy did". He will, but will you like the price for such a quick effect?

Hence the natural question:

• Should I use Sinaflan for children?

My opinion - not worth it .

If you can’t do without hormonal therapy, then it’s better to use more sparing modern options, also in a “diluted” form - for example, my child, based on the well-known ointment Elok (and the like), was prepared in a pharmacy for therapeutic multicomponent ointments. Of course, the price of such ointments + prescription preparation cannot be compared with the cost of Sinafan ointment ( 35 UAH/80 RUB against 160 UAH / 370 rubles + prescription), but it is better for children to buy one expensive ointment, which will last for a very long time when "diluted".

Sinaflan is too hard for kids....

• From what and for what does Sinaflan help?

From almost everything But, as I wrote above, it is not advisable to deal with every skin problem with the help of Sinaflan ointment:

Psoriasis, lichen planus, seborrheic dermatitis, eczema of various origins and localizations (including eczema in children), neurodermatitis, pruritus of various origins, allergic skin diseases, discoid lupus erythematosus, first degree burns, sunburn, insect bites.

• Dosage :

There is no exact dosage as such - everything will depend on the recommendations of the doctor. The main rule is to apply the ointment as much as possible thin layer, and no more than 2-3 times a day. You need to "get off" the ointment very slowly, gradually reducing the frequency of Sinaflan's use per day.

Also, Sinaflan is not a "minute ointment", I anointed it only once and everything went away. With hormonal ointments ( any) this does not go away, if you "anointed once and forgot", then you can only make it worse - the disease will immediately return with renewed vigor.

With prolonged use or overdose, side effects in the form of local skin lesions are quite possible:

telangiectasias, poststeroid vascular purpura, skin atrophy, skin stretching, hirsutism, hypertrichosis, perioral dermatitis, secondary skin infections

That is, what we treat for, then we cripple, if we use the ointment uncontrollably and a lot ... Fortunately, I didn’t have any side effects, but it’s worth noting that I followed the dosage very clearly every time + I tried not to overdo it.

Even the lightening of skin areas at the time of application of the ointment was not observed.

• Application result:

I first encountered Sinaflan ointment many years ago, when, due to a hormonal failure, the skin simply bloomed, and the weight also began to creep, which I then "successfully" supported with buns and patties even when the background had already returned to normal)))

Who has ever struggled with breakouts? on a hormonal background , knows that the usual means are useless ... Bazirons, skinorens at such moments will not help at all. The best healer is time, that is, wait for the background to normalize. And if this is all for a long time, then just such hormonal ointments will help to bring the skin into a more or less acceptable form.

And Sinaflan really helped in the most violent period, and then I already tried to cope without it. , reviewing your facial skin care and completely changing tactics, choosing the right products specifically for combination skin.

But not so long ago, there was just an opportunity to test the effect of the ointment again ...

• Story #1:

This inflammatory element on the face, which is in the photo below, is just a small tip of the iceberg, modestly looking out ... the main problem is to localize it on the body below - there was a scattering of such diamonds on the shoulders and chest after the illness. The immune system weakened, the skin rebelled, the monsters living inside asked to come out.

I did not use the ointment on large areas of the skin - on the body I fought slowly and confidently by other means, simultaneously covering all the disgrace with clothes. A few local painful bumps on the face ( near the nose, cheekbones, chin) I decided to treat it with Sinaflan ointment, which was available in the zagashniks, to the drowned with other problems.

For a long time, disturbing inflammation near the nose and on the cheekbones began to quickly deflate, and in just a couple of days a crust appeared, which also quickly disappeared. A few days - and I got the effect that I never saw from the weekly use of other means ... So, I repeat once again - Sinaflan ointment works. But it can be used rarely and in exceptional cases ... the rest is your responsibility.

Again: if the rash is of a bacterial, viral, fungal type - we select the appropriate ointment of a NON-HORMONAL type. Infections and corticosteroids are not friends.

If the rash is due to hormonal surges or other internal problems, Sinaflan can be of use.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

The effect comes relatively quickly.

Between the start of application and how crusts begin to appear - a couple of days, and before "complete disappearance", when there is almost no trace of inflammation - another week or more
It can be faster, but I gradually “turn off” the treatment as soon as I see that there is no inflammation as such. That is, I don’t use Sinaflan for more than 5-7 days, and then I switch to regenerating ointments, for example, at the end of this review on Sinaflan there is a link to such a non-hormonal ointment

Of the minuses: the skin was very flaky in this place (during the healing process), and moisturizers did not help much.

INTERMEDIATE RESULT:

• Story #2:

A burn on the index finger of the right hand - this place bled and did not heal for a long time, as it was on " working"hand, so I had to resort to Sinaflan to speed up the healing.

In addition, the skin on my hands at that time was in a “borderline” state - I could hardly restrain atopic manifestations (there was already extreme dryness, but there were no crusts and cracks yet), perhaps because of this the wound healed so badly, since the resources of the skin have already "been exhausted".

After several applications of Sinaflan ointment, the crust quickly healed, and then healing began.

The wound turned pink, and then the skin began to turn white in the healed place, and I transferred further work on the "scar" to another ointment.

BEFORE :

I took Sinaflan ointment to this section, although it would be more correct to send it to the section cosmetics. I met her a long time ago, one might say in childhood, because I suffered from severe allergies and they prescribed it to me to alleviate the condition - huge red spots poured out on my skin, which itched, and sometimes even got wet. Later I used it to alleviate the condition of the skin on the neck under the hair - for a long time, red spots also poured out and itched in addition. The ointment itself is inexpensive (by today's standards of a penny), very oily and perfectly relieves itching, while not irritating the skin. Its minus is that it seems to be considered hormonal, but I have been using it both for and for other purposes for many years now, and nothing, the horns and hooves have not grown yet))). The ointment helps very well when erasing the skin (it smeared the worn aching places under the armpits (rubbed the seams of T-shirts), smeared the bikini area when rubbing with a rough edge of the linen - it makes it easier pain. To this day, I lubricate the worn skin on the wings of the nose and above the lips with it after a prolonged runny nose, when it is torn from any cream. In addition, sinaflan ointment is a sure remedy against the so-called "chicks", which is very important in winter. It helps even in severe cases, when the skin on the hands is very similar to sandpaper number 6))). She also helps me out in the winter, when my face is exposed to strong winds for a long time. It is possible that I am allergic to cold, because my naturally quite smooth skin is covered with either pimples or some kind of pimples. One has only to apply the ointment on the face once before going to bed, and in the morning the skin is in its original form! Or, in a more serious case, the procedure should be repeated twice. In addition, I have been using Sinaflan ointment for many years as a moisturizer for the skin under the eyes in the morning before applying makeup. I have dryish skin, especially in winter, and not a single cream there has moisturized my skin well. I put it on the skin under the eyes, I give it a little time to be absorbed, and on top I apply tonal or concealer. I can't imagine makeup without this ointment. I also use creams, but the effect is not the same. In addition to Sinaflan ointment, I know about the existence of its analogue - Akriderm ointment. Mom enlightened. I repeat that the ointment is very, very oily, and for better absorption into the skin, the place must be moistened with warm water before application. (Before lubricating my hands, I rinse them in WARM water, then the ointment is better applied and absorbed better). For eye makeup, I don’t carry out this procedure, I just apply a tiny amount and that’s it. I also want to note that the ointment has a strong anti-inflammatory effect, so if you apply it, for example, to redness on the face, then after the inflammation is removed, the place where the ointment is applied noticeably brightens even relatively healthy facial skin, so you need to even out the tone. (When I smeared my whole face at night, in the morning the skin looked much paler than it really is, and during the day the natural color was gradually restored). I like this ointment no matter what, so I will continue to use it for other purposes.

Sinaflan is an ointment for local application on the basis of the hormone synthesized in the laboratory - fluocinolone acetonide.

This glucocorticosteroid has a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect, effectively combats swelling, infiltration and redness of the skin, as well as itching and burning.

Therefore, the list of what Sinaflan helps with is quite wide - this is inflammatory diseases skin, its traumatic injuries or degenerative pathologies.

The problem of acne in the 21st century is more relevant than ever. And if in the 70s of the 20th century ugly acne “attacked” mainly teenagers, then since the beginning of the 2000s this disease has already occurred in 27% of adults. The causes of acne can be different, and sometimes unexpected: stress and malnutrition, hormonal changes in the body and bad habits - almost any external or internal factor can provoke the disease.

What is common in each case, regardless of the etiology of the disease? The answer is obvious - the boundless desire of a person who is faced with an unpleasant dermatological problem to get rid of the rash.

Effective acne treatment requires an integrated approach. First of all, it is necessary to adjust the habitual way of life, paying special attention to the diet. Secondly, take antibiotics and hormonal drugs prescribed by a dermatologist. Today's material is devoted to the latter, and to be more precise, the expediency and effectiveness of using Sinaflan ointment for acne on the face.

Dermatologists focus on an important aspect of using the drug in question for acne on the face - its use is justified in cases where we are talking about seborrhea, insect bites and allergic reactions. The drug effectively eliminates pathogenic processes, provided that they are not caused by the activity of microbes. The drug quickly stops the foci of pathogenic microflora, relieves redness and inflammation.

Ointment is often included in the scheme complex therapy acne, as it accelerates the regeneration of the epidermis damaged by the disease. But it is prescribed mainly at the stage of the patient's recovery and in combination with antimicrobial drugs. This combination of medications is an effective way to prevent the formation of rashes.

When to stop the drug

For many people who are faced with the problem of acne, a logical question arises - why should Sinaflan ointment not be applied to the face? The answer is obvious - carbuncles, boils, acne and pimples are formed due to activity conditionally pathogenic microorganisms, when they penetrate into the base of the hair follicle.

• skin diseases of viral, fungal or bacterial etiology;
• violation of the integrity of the epithelial layer;
• precancerous and neoplastic diseases;
• acne vulgaris and rosacea.

Since we are talking about a pharmaceutical product that contains fluorinated glucocorticoid, self-medication can provoke skin atrophy, oral dermatitis or exacerbation of the disease.

If the patient decides to use the drug in question, it is important to observe the following precautions:

Sinaflan ointment is dangerous to use on the face, as well as on large areas of the body affected, since there is a high probability of overdose. Liniment is useless for common acne of bacterial etiology. The use of the hormonal composition is invariably accompanied by a decrease in the protective abilities of the body, therefore they are used only as prescribed by the doctor.

Its activity is manifested in the following mechanism:

1. Increasing the resistance of cell membranes to external stimuli, due to which it eliminates the likelihood of developing tissue swelling.
2. Activation of biochemical reactions aimed at the metabolic breakdown of proteins.
3. Blocking of phospholipases (leads to the elimination of inflammatory reactions in problem tissues).
4. Inhibition of microcirculation of macrophages and leukocytes.
5. Suppression of the synthesis of hyaluronidase (an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid).

Sinaflan ointment is not suitable for treatment subcutaneous acne, acne. It is indeed able to temporarily eliminate inflammation and associated redness, but as the active elements are absorbed, the disease process only gets worse. The presence of petroleum jelly causes clogging of pores, which automatically creates favorable conditions for the development of staphylococci and streptococci.
