Structure of the preparation
Like most drugs, Lorinden C (which will be discussed in the article below) contains basic and auxiliary components.
The main active substances in this ointment include:

As auxiliary components for the creation of "Lorinden C", the following is used:
- White wax;
- petrolatum.
The first active component of the ointment is clioquinol, a sufficiently strong antimicrobial preparation, which is also known as iodochloroquinoline and is a derivative of 8-hydroxyquinolines. The action of clioquinol is effective against gram-positive bacteria, yeast fungi and dermatophytes. After exposure to the skin, this component seeps into the bloodstream in a small amount. Also in symbiosis with the second component of the ointment, flumethasone, it enhances its effect, and especially increases its antiexudative effect.
If we consider in more detail the second component, flumethasone, it is worth noting that it is a synthetic glucocorticosteroid. The principle of its action is that it is able to influence the vascular components and cell elements that are involved in the local inflammatory process. Also due to the action of flumethasone in the place of localization of the inflammatory process, there is a significant decrease in the level of leukocytes.
Under the influence of this component, narrowing of small vessels occurs, and the release of exudate is significantly reduced.
