According to the instructions, streptocid powder should be used only if there is no allergy to the main component in the medication. It is ineffective to apply the product inside. The therapeutic effect is observed only with external use of the drug. Sulfanilamide very quickly reacts with the bacterial cell membrane and destroys it.

Streptocide has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It stops the reproduction and growth of pathogenic microbes, destroys pathogens of infectious and inflammatory diseases of various organs.
This effect of the powder is explained by its ability to suppress the formation of pyrimidines and purines, which are necessary for the synthesis of RNA and DNA.

For wounds, scrapes and cuts, streptocide powder can be very effective. It fights infections, removes excess moisture, promotes the early healing of purulent and ordinary wounds.
To treat the damaged area, you should pour the powder into the open wound and apply a gauze bandage. This dressing should be changed periodically. In its therapeutic effect on wounds, Streptocid is similar to Levomekol ointment.
Streptocide powder, according to the instructions, is prescribed for the treatment of burns.
In case of a burn, Streptocid stimulates cell metabolism, contributing to the restoration of soft tissues.
To treat stomatitis, the powder should be dissolved in water and rinsed out the mouth with the resulting liquid. According to the instructions, the powder solution stops the growth of microorganisms that cause stomatitis.

Newborn babies are also treated with streptocide, but only with the permission of a doctor and under his supervision.
Powder for wounds and burns in children should be limited to small areas of the skin. Otherwise, the substance can enter the bloodstream, causing systemic side effects.
