Anabact Gel

Contains 0.75% metronidazole, which is an established antibacterial agent. It is effective against a variety of organisms including anaerobic bacteria, which are responsible for the distressing symptoms of malodorous wounds. Anabact is the only Metronidazole Gel indicated for the deodorisation of malodorous gravitational ulcers, decubitus ulcers and fungating tumours.

Anhydrol Forte

Anhydrol Forte contains aluminium chloride hexahydrate, which is believed to denature the protein content of sweat issuing from eccrine glands, and to combine with the intraductal keratin fibrils, producing a functional closure. The antibacterial action of the aluminium ion also precludes the development of miliaria. Accordingly, there is no secondary inflammation. The intraluminal pressure rises to the point where it acts as a feedback system, shutting off acinar secretion
