Boric acid, recognized for centuries due to its versatile applications, is employed not only in industrial chemistry and food preservation but also in alternative medicine practices. However, do contemporary scientific studies validate its efficacy in treating fungal infections affecting the skin, nails, or mucosal regions? This article examines the current state of knowledge regarding its mechanisms of action, safety profile in therapeutic use, and practical considerations for purchasing this chemical compound for medical purposes.

Kwas borowy, kwas borny

Kwas borowy i kwas borny to kolejno nazwa zwyczajowa i nazwa lecznicza dla związku chemicznego kwasu trioksyborowego – H3BO3.. Jest on nieorganicznym związkiem chemicznym o działaniu słabego kwasu w formie minerału sassolinu występującego w przyrodzie.. Jako pierwszy kwas borny otrzymał duński lekarz Wilhelm Homberg w 1702 r.. , pozyskując go z boraksu, czyli minerału w rodziny boranów.. Wtedy nazwano tę substancję „solą uspokajającą Homberga”.

Kwas borowy – zastosowanie

Kwas borowy stosuje się zewnętrznie na rany i oparzenia.. Wykazuje on działanie: antyseptyczne, przeciwgrzybiczne, przeciwwirusowe, przeciwbakteryjne, szczególnie na pałeczki ropy błękitnej, wysuszające, ściągające, złuszczające.. Jako składnik preparatów złożonych ma zastosowanie w: bakteryjnym zapaleniu pochwy, ostrych stanach zapalnych błon śluzowych.. Jego pochodną (tertaboran sodu) zaleca się w: zakażeniach bakteryjnych, kandydozie i zapaleniach błony śluzowej jamy ustnej, stanach zapalnych gardła.. W formie zasypki z talkiem kwas borowy neutralizuje nieprzyjemny zapach stóp.. W formie maści bornej dawniej znajdował zastosowanie w leczeniu w wielu chorób skóry ze słabym odczynem zapalnym.. Kwas borowy wchłania się dość szybko, a jego wydalanie zachodzi powoli, kumuluje się w wątrobie i tkance nerwowej.. Nadmiar może prowadzić do uszkodzenia nerek, dlatego, z uwagi na dostępność innych skutecznych środków medycznych, jego zastosowanie we współczesnej medycynie jest znikome.. Nie zaleca się stosować go u dzieci i niemowląt.. Z drugiej strony badania naukowe jasno wskazują, że kwas borowy obniża żywotność i namnażanie komórek nowotworowych szyjki macicy, działa przeciwzapalnie w przypadku raka płuc i obniża ryzyko wystąpienia choroby stercza.. Pozamedyczne właściwości kwasu borowego są wykorzystywane w: laboratoriach – kwas borowy ma działanie dezynfekujące oraz neutralizujące w przypadku kontaktu skóry z ługami; gałęziach przemysłu: chemicznego – jest składnikiem nawozów, środków do impregnacji drewna, produkcji szkła i farb, garbarstwa, katalizatorem reakcji chemicznych, metalurgicznego, spożywczego – jako konserwant żywności – E 284 – zapobiega rozwojowi bakterii, wirusów i grzybów.

Czy to w ogóle kwas borowy – cena, gdzie kupić?

Kwas borowy występuje w wielu formach farmaceutycznych oraz opakowaniach.. Między innymi jako: Borasol (kwas borowy w formie 3% roztworu) – jest dostępny w opakowaniach 100-, 200-, 500- i 1000-gramowych.. W zależności od opakowania koszt zakupu waha się od: 6, 27 do 27, 67 zł za butelkę; Geniderma (kwas borowy 0, 5 % w formie maści 5 mg/g w 20-gramowym opakowaniu) – 6, 35 zł; kwas borowy w formie proszku w saszetkach 10 g – od 0, 30 do 3, 50 zł; maść borna (10 % kwas borowy w formie 20- lub 30-gramowego opakowania maści 100 mg/g) – 3 zł.. Kwas borowy jest preparatem leczniczym dostępnym w aptece bez recepty.

Kwas borowy na grzybicę

Kwas borny stosuje się w kandydozie narządów płciowych w formie żelatynowych kapsułek w dawce 600 mg zakładanych raz na dobę przez 14 dni.. Wyniki badań są obiecujące dla kombinacji kwasu borowego z probiotykiem L.. Gasseri i L. Rhamnosus stosowanym dopochwowo. Efekt leczenia utrzymuje się do 2 tygodni po okresie wyleczenia, a korzystna flora bakteryjna – do 3 tygodni, co jest dobrym wynikiem w porównaniu ze standardowym leczeniem metronidazolem i klindamycyną.. Stosuje się też kwas borowy w połączeniu z kwasami mlekowym lub octowym w celu zakwaszenia pochwy i przedłużenia efektu terapeutycznego metronidazolu lub nystatyny.
