Solcoseryl is a calf blood dialysate, that is used as a topical cream to promote wound healing
SOLCOSERYL®, a hemodialysate of calf blood that contains low-molecular-weight blood components such as amino acids, oligopeptides, nucleosides, and glycolipids, was shown to offer a significant cytoprotection in cerebral hypoxic episodes. Specifically, the agent was shown to increase cerebral blood flow, inhibit the development of cytotoxic (6-aminonicotinamid-induced) brain edema, and antagonize the decrement of glucose utilization in limbic areas (cingulate cortex, amygdala, and septal nuclei), the basal ganglia, and the thalamus following stroke in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Further, S appeared to reduce the formation of free radicals. It had a significant inhibitory effect on the activity of the archidonic cascade and the production of lipid peroxides. A similar preparation, Actovegin®, was reported to increase cerebral metabolism depressed by alcohol and barbiturates and reduce the detrimental effects of an ischemic episode to cortical neurons. Actually, in the hippocampus the ischemia-related reduction of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and CrP is counterbalanced by Actovegin.
Solcoseryl also used in gel form as a topical wound-healing promoting agent.

Solcoseryl ointment is applied with a thin layer on the cleaned wound 1-2 times a day, can be applied under dressings. The course of treatment with Solcoseryl ointment continues until the wound is completely healed, its epithelialization and the formation of elastic scar tissue.
For the treatment of severe trophic lesions of the skin and soft tissues, the simultaneous use of parenteral forms of Solcoseryl is recommended.
In rare cases, allergic reactions may develop (urticaria, hyperemia and edema at the injection site, increased body temperature). In this case, it is necessary to discontinue the use of the drug and prescribe symptomatic treatment.
Hypersensitivity to one of the components of the drug.
Carefully - with a predisposition to allergic reactions.
Solcoseryl injections should not be mixed with the introduction of other drugs, especially with phytoextracts.
The pharmaceutical incompatibility of Solcoseryl in the form of a solution for injection with parenteral forms has been established:
As solutions for dilution of Solcoseryl injection, only isotonic sodium chloride solution and 5% glucose solution should be used.
The interaction of Solcoseryl with other drugs of local action is not installed.
The use of Solcoseryl, like all other drugs, is undesirable during pregnancy and lactation and is possible only when absolutely necessary and under the supervision of a physician.
In the event of pain, redness of the skin near the site of application of Solcoseryl, the secretion of secretion from the wound, increase in body temperature, it is urgent to consult a doctor.
If during the application of Solcoseryl, the healing of the affected area is not observed within 2–3 weeks, it is necessary to consult a doctor.
