Product Comparison: Bevatrasin Spray vs. Helosol Spray
Bevatrasin Spray (Bivatracin)
Main Features:
- Contains two active antibiotics: Bacitracin and Neomycin.
- Bacitracin acts as a barrier preventing bacteria from entering wounds.
- Neomycin kills bacteria by disrupting their protein synthesis.
- Comes as a spray that forms a protective, painless, and non-staining shield over wounds.
Indications/Uses:
- Superficial scratches and wounds.
- Minor burns (superficial).
- Impetigo (contagious skin ulcers, especially in children).
- Skin infections around nails.
- Hair follicle inflammation (small pimples).
- Boils and small abscesses.
- Infections from insect bites or bumps.
Pros:
- Strong antibacterial action preventing infection.
- Easy to apply via spray.
- Effective for preventing infection in minor wounds.
Cons/Side Effects:
- May cause stinging or burning sensation on application.
- Possible redness, itching, rash, or persistent irritation (signs of mild allergy).
- Can cause dryness and peeling with prolonged use.
- Rare but serious allergic reactions (swelling, difficulty breathing).
- Very rare risks of hearing or kidney issues if used extensively or on large areas.
- Not suitable for deep or large wounds, eyes, or ears.
- Not recommended for infants under 2 years without medical supervision.
- Prolonged use discouraged to avoid contact allergy or systemic absorption.
Usage:
Applied 2-3 times daily (every 8-12 hours).
Alternatives with similar ingredients exist (e.g., Dermatacin spray).
Helosol Spray
Main Features:
- Contains Phenytoin, originally an oral anti-epileptic drug.
- Topically, it promotes wound healing by:
- Activating wound cell membranes.
- Stimulating cell division and collagen production.
- Increasing formation of new blood vessels for better oxygen and nutrient supply.
- Mild antibacterial effect (not a true antibiotic).
- Provides slight pain relief by reducing inflammation.
Indications/Uses:
- Superficial wounds and skin ulcers with delayed healing.
- Pressure sores (bed sores).
- Diabetic foot ulcers.
- Superficial and moderate burns.
- Chronic ulcers and long-standing wounds.
Pros:
- Accelerates wound healing and tissue regeneration.
- Helps close wounds faster and in an organized manner.
- Reduces inflammation and pain.
Cons/Side Effects:
- May cause redness, itching, peeling, dryness, or mild burning.
- Rare cases of severe rash or abnormal inflammation.
- Very rare but serious risk of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome.
- Not suitable for allergic individuals to Phenytoin.
- Not for use on contaminated wounds with pus or deep abscesses without prior cleaning.
- Avoid contact with mucous membranes (eyes, mouth, nose).
- Contraindicated in pregnancy and breastfeeding due to risk of fetal deformities.
- Prolonged or extensive use may lead to systemic absorption causing side effects similar to oral Phenytoin, dangerous for liver patients.
Usage:
Applied 2-3 times daily on affected area.
