Maść Borna (Boric Acid)

Boric acid acts as an antimicrobial agent by disrupting the cell membranes of bacteria, fungi and some viruses. It also interferes with essential enzymatic pathways, causing loss of cellular integrity and death of the microorganisms that come into contact with the ointment on the skin surface.

The exact amount and frequency of application are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, a thin layer is spread over the cleaned wound area and surrounding skin, and re‑applied according to the label or clinician’s instructions.

Safety data for boric acid ointment during pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should consult their physician before using Maść Borna to weigh potential risks and benefits.

Compared with alternatives such as chlorhexidine or povidone‑iodine, boric acid offers a broad‑spectrum antimicrobial effect with a low risk of systemic absorption. It is generally well tolerated on intact skin, though some users may prefer the longer‑lasting residual activity of chlorhexidine for certain procedures.

Store the ointment at room temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in its original container. Protect it from excessive moisture, direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the lid tightly closed to maintain product stability and prevent contamination.

Maść Borna is applied topically. After cleaning the affected area, a thin layer of the ointment is spread over the wound and a small margin of surrounding skin. The product is not intended for internal use, injection or ingestion.

The most serious risks include allergic reactions such as hives, swelling or severe rash, and contact dermatitis that may require medical attention. Although rare, excessive application over large body surfaces could lead to systemic toxicity, presenting with symptoms like nausea or headache.

Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to boric acid or any component of the ointment should avoid its use. It is also contraindicated for infants and very young children unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional, and should not be applied to deep or puncture wounds without medical advice.
