If you need to choose a substitute, you first need to find out the reason for the replacement: an allergy to the main component, the presence of contraindications, or a high price. After that, the specialist can choose the right analogue. Further in the article, popular, effective and inexpensive substitutes are presented with a brief comparative characteristic (in terms of composition, action and price).

Apilak grindeks ointment

Uroderm ointment (cheap analogs may be similar in the main component or differ, but have a similar action), the active element of which is urea, can be replaced with Apilak grindeks ointment, made in Estonia and Latvia.

The medicinal effect of the drug is provided by a powder from natural bee milk. The active component of the analogue has the following effect on the skin: it activates metabolic processes in tissues, stimulates cell regeneration and improves their nutrition.

general information	thickening and flaking of the skin; acceleration of wound healing with shallow trauma to the epidermis.

Limitations for the use of Apilak grindex have the following differences and similarities with Uroderm:

• it is forbidden to use in case of intolerance to the composition. This limitation is typical for both medicines. But since honey (the main substance of the analogue) is a highly allergenic product, the likelihood of developing allergies from the use of Apilak grindeks is higher than when using the original;
• can not be used with insufficient production of hormones by the adrenal glands. The prohibition applies only to Apilak grindex ointment;
• both ointments can be used after the patient reaches 6 months, but only with the permission of a specialist;
• Apilak grindeks and Uroderm are allowed to be used during the period of gestation and lactation, but a doctor's consultation is required first;
• if the patient has severe heart failure, as well as in severe pathologies of the heart and kidneys, the original cannot be used. There are no such restrictions for the analogue;
• both ointments should not be applied to the skin in the presence of deep open wounds.

When using Apilak grindex ointment, the agent should be applied to the affected area 1-2 times within 24 hours (you can fix a bandage over the ointment). The duration of treatment can be from 7 to 60 days. In this case, the original must be applied 2 times within 24 hours. The course lasts until the epidermis is completely restored.

The use of both ointments can only cause the development of an allergic reaction (swelling, itching, redness of the skin). If the drugs are used only externally (that is, according to the rules of use), then the likelihood of an overdose is excluded.

But if the funds were taken orally, then vomiting, diarrhea, and possibly an increase in temperature are noted (for the original, disruption of the kidneys, heart and liver is not excluded).

In case of poisoning with an analogue, it is enough to wash the stomach and take sorbents. And in case of an overdose with Uroderm, in addition to standard manipulations, you may need to go to the hospital. To buy Apilak grindex and Uroderm ointment, a prescription is not needed.
