Key Benefits

• Proven formula for various skin issues treatment.
• High-quality ingredients.
• Multi-purpose OTC medication.

Active Components for Fast Relief

The core function of Vishnevsky balsamic liniment is to accelerate the ripening of abscesses and promote skin healing. Its formulation consists of two active components and two additives.

Active Ingredients

1. Birch tar (30 mg per 1 g) is a natural compound that irritates skin receptors and thus dilates blood vessels and increases blood flow in the inflamed area. It also speeds up the body’s healing response.
2. Xeroformium (30 mg per 1 g) is a chemical that disinfects the wound, destroys bacteria, and dries out the injured area.

Other Ingredients

• Castor oil works as a binder and creates a film on the skin surface, warms it up (like a compress) and helps active substances penetrate deeper.
• Colloid dehydrated silicon dioxide works as a stabilizer and texturizer.

The combination of ingredients forms a thick, sticky substance, which seals the wound and activates self-recovery mechanisms.

Indications for Use

Due to its advanced healing properties, Vishnevsky ointment is recommended for the following issues:

• Purulent skin inflammation, including furuncles, carbuncles, and abscesses treatment.
• Treatment of tissue damage, including burns, frostbites, and bedsores treatment.
• Trophic and vascular ulcer healing.
• Lymphadenitis and lymphangitis treatment.

Use Directions and Safety Measures

Balsamic liniment is designed for topical use only. When applied to the injured skin, it requires preliminary cleansing of the wound or injury and treatment of the wound with an antiseptic. Please avoid getting the ointment on mucous membranes or in the eyes.

Dosage and Administration

A standard application protocol suggests applying the ointment on the affected skin area in a thin layer and then covering it with a bandage. An alternative application method suggests applying a napkin or a bandage soaked in the balsamic liniment. You need to change the bandage every 2-3 days. The duration of treatment depends on the severity of skin injuries and typically takes from 6 to 20 days.

Warnings and Precautions

Vishnevsky ointment has only one contraindication – hypersensitivity to its components. As for side effects, allergies and skin irritation are possible. Besides, birch tar in its formula enhances sensitivity to sun radiation; therefore, when applying it, it is better not to expose yourself to sunlight.
