Brimonidine is a highly selective alpha2-adrenergic receptor agonist that is 1000-fold more selective for the alpha2-adrenergic receptor than the alpha1-adrenergic receptor. Cutaneous facial application of a highly selective alpha2-adrenergic receptor agonist reduces erythema through direct cutaneous vasoconstriction.
Mizollen contains mizolastine, which has antihistamine and anti-allergic properties due to a specific and selective antagonism of peripheral histamine H1 receptors.
MolluDab is used externally against molluscum contagiosum, a skin lesion caused by a virus. MolluDab causes cells which are affected by the virus to dissolve and thereby produces a defence reaction of the skin in the region affected by molluscum contagiosum
Molutrex contains a stable solution of potassium hydroxide (also known as KOH). This agent breaks down the hard keratin surface of the skin. When painted onto the molluscum blisters this sets off an irritant reaction which stimulates the body’s own immune system to attack the virus. The virus is destroyed and the blisters heal.
An SLS free, 2-in-1 leave on emollient and wash that adds moisture to the skin for the relief of flaking dry skin conditions.
Myribase Cream is a soothing and moisturising daily cream that softens, protects and delivers instant hydration from the first use. It is SLS, parabens and lanolin-free and is suitable for dry, itchy and eczema-prone skin. The cream helps repair the skin barrier by locking in moisture, and protecting skin against irritants and water loss.
A protective, hydrating emollient for the treatment of dry skin conditions. It contains a higher oil content than an emollient cream, is light to the touch and non-greasy, with the ease of absorption of a gel. It encourages rehydration and softening of dry skin by restoring the oils that provide the natural occlusive barrier within the epidermis, thus reducing drying as a result of the evaporation of water diffusing from the underlying layers. It contains isopropyl myristate 15% and liquid paraffin 15% and is free of fragrances and colourings. May be used as an adjunct to other topical treatments.
NeoClarityn contains desloratadine, which is a non-sedating, long-acting histamine antagonist with selective peripheral H1-receptor antagonist activity. After oral administration, desloratadine selectively blocks peripheral histamine H1-receptors because the substance is excluded from entry to the central nervous system.
Neoral contains ciclosporin (also known as ciclosporin A), which is a cyclic polypeptide consisting of 11 amino acids. It is an immunosuppressive agent licensed for the prevention of graft rejection following heart, kidney, pancreas, bone marrow and lung in transplants. Benificial effects of ciclosporin therapy have also been shown in patients with severe psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, rheumatoid arthritis and nephrotic syndrome, conditions that may be considered to have an immunological mechanism
