In detail about gel Glykodem

A tick demodex that inhabits the sebaceous glands of the human skin and causes chronic inflammation and hypersecretion is the cause of a huge number of diseases.

Their list starts with deep acne and ends with eye lesions.

Blepharitis, blepharoconjunctivitis often arise from infection with this parasite.

One of the tools that is effective in the therapy of demodectic blepharitis is Glikodem.

Indications for use

The drug is used in demodekoznym mite face and body skin damage, auricles and eyelids, also has anti-inflammatory effect and relieves itching with acne, insect bites, abrasions and skin cracks.

May also be used to prevent demodicosis in the presence of risk factors in a history.

How to use

In order to maximize the effect of glycogen on parasites, the eyelid skin and eyelash growth line must be degreased before applying the gel.

This is done with a cotton pad with an alcohol-containing remedy, such as cucumber lotion or eucalyptus infusion. This will clear the pores and allow the drug to reach the mites that are hidden in the sebaceous glands.

After preliminary treatment with a cotton swab, the gel is applied to the eyelid, the roots of the eyelashes. When the ear canals, nose wings and other parts of the body are damaged, they are also carefully smeared with gel.

Fifteen minutes after the first application, the affected areas are re-coated with glycode.

Caution: Avoid contact with eyes and eyelid mucosa.

After half an hour, rinse with warm water and soap. The procedure should be repeated twice a day for a sufficiently long period. On average, the course of treatment of demodicosis is 45 days, but it is often delayed for several months.

During treatment, it is important to comply with measures against mite re-infection:

• should abandon cosmetics: first, after using the patient, they can be infected with demodex, and secondly, many of them clog pores, creating a favorable environment for the tick;
• use of disposable towels, daily ironing of pillowcases with iron, frequent washing also does not allow parasites to re-settle on the face;
• it is important to follow a diet - acute, fatty, sweet increases the secretion of sebum, on which demodex thrives;
• costs as little as possible in the open sun, avoid overheating and in any case not to visit the sauna and sauna.

Interaction with other

preparations Due to the low concentration of the active ingredient and the external application, glycode virtually does not interact with other drugs.
