Active Ingredient Description
Bibrocathol

Bibrocathol is a bismuth-containing substance which acts as antiseptic, adstringent and secretion inhibitng agent on mucous membranes and wounds. The mechanism of action is explained by its phenolic molecular structure consisting of tetrabromopyrocatechol and bismuth hydroxide that causes the precipitation of proteins and the shrinking of superficial layers of tissue. These activities result in the formation of a protective membrane against pathogenic invasion and non-specifically inhibit inflammation and secretion.
