Bibrocathol can form a protective membrane on mucous membranes and wounds to prevent the penetration of bacterial pathogens. The astringent effect of Bibrocathol can lead to an inhibition of inflammation and secretions. The use of Bibrocathol is limited to the local treatment of minor infections and inflammations of the outer parts of the eye.
