Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

Otindol is a combined drug that has a local anesthetic, disinfectant and antiseptic effect.

Pharmacological actions of a medicinal product due to the properties of its active substances:

• boric acid: slightly irritates granulation tissues, has fungistatic, antiseptic effect;
• procaine: has a wide spectrum of therapeutic action, refers to local anesthetics with moderate anesthetic activity. Due to the fact that the substance is a weak base, it prevents the conduction of impulses along the nerve fibers and the generation of impulses in the endings of the sensory nerves, blocks sodium channels. Without exerting a pronounced effect on the resting potential, procaine changes the action potential in the membranes of nerve cells. The use of the drug serves to suppress both pain and other modality of impulses.

Pharmacokinetics

Boric acid

Boric acid is absorbed through mucous membranes, wound surfaces and damaged skin. The drug penetrates especially well through the mucous membranes and skin in young children. There have been reports of deaths after accidental oral ingestion or application of boric acid to damaged skin.

The substance is excreted slowly, cumulates with repeated applications. Almost ½ of the dose is excreted in the urine in 12 hours, the rest - over a period of 5 to 7 days.

Procaine

The drug undergoes complete systemic absorption. The degree of absorption is influenced by the place and route of administration (in particular vascularization and blood flow rate in the area of administration), concentration and amount of the final dose.

Procaine is rapidly hydrolyzed by liver and plasma esterases, while two main pharmacologically active metabolites are formed - para-aminobenzoic acid and diethylaminoethanol. Para-aminobenzoic acid is a competitive antagonist of sulfanilamide chemotherapeutic drugs and can weaken their antimicrobial properties, diethylaminoethanol has a moderate vasodilator effect.

The half-life of procaine varies from 30 to 50 seconds, in the neonatal period from 54 to 114 seconds. Excretion of the substance is mainly carried out by the kidneys in the form of metabolites. About 2% (no more) of the drug is excreted unchanged.
