Pharmacological properties

Oxyderm – antiseptic and keratolytic agent for the care of the skin of animals of local action, contains benzoyl peroxide.

Benzoyl peroxide has antiseptic and keratolytic properties, inhibits (due to the release of oxygen) the development of gram-positive bacteria: Propionibacterium, Staphylococcus epidermidis and others. Has a keratolytic effect, improves tissue oxygenation, the process of granulation ulcers. Reduces the formation of fat by the sebaceous glands of the skin. Benzoyl peroxide, unlike antibiotics, has a direct toxic effect on bacteria – when it enters the sebaceous hair follicle, benzoyl peroxide is metabolized to form benzoic acid with the release of oxygen, a high concentration of which kills anaerobic bacteria, including resistant to antibiotics. Antimicrobial action in combination with anti-inflammatory effect leads to a rapid decrease in papulopustular lesions. Unlike antibiotics, the use of benzoyl peroxide does not cause resistance in bacteria. Benzoyl peroxide is also effective for the treatment of open and closed comedones due to keratolytic and comedonolytic action.

Pharmacokinetics

The gel penetrates the skin, where it is converted into benzoic acid.
