Входящий в состав препарата сульфаниламид – сульфатиазол серебра, antimicrobial bacteriostatic agent, It has a broad spectrum of activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The mechanism of antimicrobial action sulphathiazole is the oppression of growth and reproduction of microorganisms as a result of competitive antagonism with parabens and oppression digidropteroatsintetazy, which leads to disruption of synthesis of dihydrofolic acid, ultimately, ее активного метаболита – тетрагидрофолиевой кислоты, necessary for the synthesis of purines and pyrimidines microbial cells.

Присутствующие в препарате ионы серебра усиливают антибактериальное действие сульфаниламида – они тормозят рост и деление бактерий путем связывания с дезоксирибонуклеиновой кислотой микробной клетки. Besides, silver ions weaken the sensitizing properties of sulfanilamide.
