Furacilin

Furacilin is an antiseptic agent used to treat various infections and inflammatory conditions. It is effective against pathogenic microorganisms and is commonly used for wound irrigation, throat rinsing, burn treatment, and managing skin infections. This versatile solution is suitable for both home use and medical settings.

What is Furacilin used for?

Furacilin has strong antiseptic and antimicrobial properties, making it a valuable treatment for many types of infections. Common uses include:

• Washing wounds, burns, ulcers, and skin injuries
• Treating mucous membranes in bacterial infections
• Gargling for sore throat, pharyngitis, and tonsillitis
• Treating eye inflammation, such as conjunctivitis
• Oral rinsing for stomatitis and gingivitis

Furacilin works locally and does not enter the bloodstream, which makes it safe for frequent use. It is included in treatment protocols for infectious diseases and is often recommended alongside other remedies, such as intestinal infection medications and antidiarrheal treatments aimed at eliminating harmful bacteria in the body.

How to use Furacilin for throat treatment

Furacilin is commonly used as a gargle solution for throat infections. To prepare the solution:

1. Crush 1 Furacilin tablet (20 mg) into powder
2. Dissolve the powder in 100 ml of hot water (about 70–80°C)
3. Let the solution cool to a comfortable temperature before use

It’s recommended to gargle 3–4 times a day. This helps reduce bacterial presence, relieve inflammation, and speed up healing.

Can you use Furacilin as a mouthwash?

Yes, Furacilin solution is frequently used for oral rinsing to treat dental and oral infections. It is helpful in the following cases:

• Stomatitis and gingivitis – reduces inflammation and disinfects the mucosa
• Post-dental procedures – promotes healing and helps prevent infection
• Bleeding gums – strengthens gum tissue and reduces swelling

Mouth rinsing is done the same way as gargling: use the warm solution without any additives.
