Title: Balanex: Protective Cream-Gel for Localized Balanitis Treatment (20g)
Description:
Balanex is a topical cream-gel formulated with a potent combination of active ingredients offering effective anti-inflammatory and antibacterial action for the treatment of balanitis. This condition, characterized by inflammation of the penis glans and foreskin, affects 11% of men seeking care at dermatological and urological clinics. Balanex helps reduce inflammation and enhances the effectiveness of antibiotics.
Balanitis can stem from various causes, including infections, irritation, and trauma. Predisposing factors include recent sexual contact, diabetes, and recent oral antibiotic use. Extensive medical literature* supports the efficacy and safety of Balanex’s components in treating balanitis.
Key Ingredients & Actions:
- Metronidazole: A widely used antimicrobial agent effective against sexually transmitted infection pathogens like Trichomonas vaginalis and Gardnerella vaginalis, as well as skin infections caused by Bacteroides spp. It disrupts microbial DNA synthesis.
- Chlorhexidine: A broad-spectrum antiseptic that disrupts microbial cell membranes, damages DNA, and inhibits its synthesis. Its antimicrobial effect lasts at least six hours. It’s effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms causing skin and mucosal infections, including sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia (Chlamydia trachomatis), gonorrhea (Neisseria gonorrhoeae), syphilis (Treponema pallidum), and fungi (including Candida species). Its effectiveness persists even in the presence of blood, pus, and glandular secretions.
- Sophora Flavescens Extract: Contains matrine, an alkaloid with broad biological activity, including antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Matrine regulates the production of inflammatory molecules (cytokines and chemokines), exhibits bacteriostatic effects against Candida albicans, and inhibits E. coli and S. aureus growth. [1-5]
- Green Tea Extract: Rich in catechins, especially epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a potent antioxidant that combats cellular oxidation and free radical damage. EGCG demonstrates anti-inflammatory, antiviral (against Retroviridae, Orthomyxoviridae, and Flaviviridae families), and antibacterial actions (including against staphylococci, enhancing antibiotic effects, and inhibiting biofilm formation and β-lactamase production). It also possesses antifungal properties. [6-7]
- Thymol: Possesses antimicrobial and antifungal properties, effective in treating inflammatory skin conditions. It shows activity against Cryptococcus neoformans and Aspergillus species, enhancing the efficacy of treatments for aspergillosis and cryptococcal infections. [8]
