Products might cost different amounts at a pharmacy and online. The image of the product may differ from the actual product.

The liniment is applied externally.

After surgical treatment of wounds and burns, Syntomycin liniment is applied directly to the wound surface. Subsequently, a sterile gauze dressing is applied over the wound, or Syntomycin liniment is applied to the dressing material and then onto the wound.

Tampons saturated with Syntomycin liniment are loosely packed into the cavities of purulent wounds after surgical treatment, and gauze turunds with Syntomycin liniment are inserted into fistulous tracts.

For treating wounds and burns in the second phase, apply once every 1-3 days depending on the wound healing dynamics.

Special instructions:
During treatment, regular monitoring of peripheral blood is necessary.

No adverse effects on the fetus during pregnancy or breastfeeding have been identified.
