Dosage and Administration
The highest effect is achieved when preparation is used at the onset of the disease and is are introduces directly to inflation's focus
- Pyo bacteriophage is used as a disinfecting agent for locally damaged areas by phage soaked bandage, as well as in liquid form in cavities wound cavity, abdominal cavity, pleura, abscess cavity, nasal cavity, urinary bladder, uterus, vagina). The preparation can be used orally, and/or by catheter, of enema.
- Phage for local use is applied three times daily, for 3-5 days. The quantity of phage is determined by the size of the damaged area.
- For Treatment of abscesses, pleuritis and arthritis, as well as peritonitis, 50-200ml of bacteriophage is introduces into the cavity every other day.
- In the case of cystitis and pyelonephritis, the phage is administered by catheter and/or orally, In the case of cholecystitis, 30 ml of phage is introduced by probe every other day.
- For the treatment of deep pyoderma, the phage is used intradermally (0.1-0.5 ml of phage once in 24 hours, in total 10 injections).
- For conjunctivitis, the bacteriophage is introduced by pipet, 2 drops per eye, 4-6 times a day.
- In the case of neonatal omphalitis and pyoderma, the bacteriophage is applied by soaked bandage twice daily 5-7 days.
- For intestinal diseases and dysbacteriosis, the phage is administered per as and/or per rectum. Per rectum, Pyo-bacteriophage is introduced by enema, after stool.
- Recommended doses of Pyo bacteriophage are as follows:
| Age | Per as / Per day | Per rectum/per day |
| Infants 0-6 months | 5ml 1 time, 30 min before feeding | 10 ml once a day |
| Kids 6-12 months | 5ml 2 times, 30 min before feeding | 10 ml once a day |
