“Sodium Sulfacyl”, or “Albucid” (another trade name) is a solution with an antibacterial effect. Used in ophthalmology.
"Sulfacyl" is used externally against infectious eye lesions. These include:
Doctors often prescribe medicine for runny noses in children.
One ml of solution contains 200 or 300 mg of sulfacetamide (20% and 30%, respectively). Additional substances: thiosulfate, hydrochloric acid solution, liquid for injection.
“Sulfacyl sodium” (or “Albucid”) exhibits moderate bacteriostatic properties against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. These bacteria include: pneumococci, chlamydia, streptococci, actinomycetes, gonococci, E. coli.
The aqueous solution is slightly alkaline, so it can be safely used as eye drops. Contact with the conjunctival sac of the eye will not cause any harm. Albucid for the eyes predominantly acts locally on the affected conjunctiva, but part of the active substance is absorbed into the body. The mechanism of action of “Sodium Sulfacyl” is determined by counteracting para-aminobenzoic acid and binding of dihydropteroate synthetase. This process leads to disruption of the production of tetrahydrofolic acid, which takes a major part in the synthesis of purine and pyrimidine bases. Thanks to this mechanism of action, the DNA and RNA of the cells of pathogenic bacteria are disrupted, and the process of their reproduction stops.
The average price is from 50 to 100 rubles.

The drug helps with a runny nose because it has a drying effect. “Sulfacyl-sodium” is especially effective in the nose when the runny nose has become chronic and the snot has acquired a green tint.
