Livisto Chemi-Spray (Invesa) for wound cleaning and healing

Chemi-Spray is a product with bactericidal and wound-healing properties, suitable for dogs, cats and farm animals. It is used for treating surgical and accidental wounds, ulcers, open abscesses, scratches, and interdigital dermatitis.

Chloramphenicol is the main active ingredient of Chemi-Spray — an antibiotic with a broad antibacterial spectrum that also shows antifungal activity. The spray is applied to a cleaned wound, free from necrotic tissue, from a distance of 5–10 cm. Animals must be prevented from licking the product. Treatment may last up to 10 days depending on wound severity.

The product is generally well tolerated by animals, although cases of individual sensitivity to components may occur. It is intended for external use only, according to the instructions.

Composition and form of release:

Pharmacological properties:

Chloramphenicol belongs to broad-spectrum bacteriostatic antibiotics. Gentian violet is an antiseptic dye with mild antifungal and antimicrobial activity. Their combined action suppresses bacterial protein synthesis and disrupts nucleoprotein structures of microbial cells.
