Indications
Dagra Foot Topical Spray (Powder) is used for:
BORIC ACID
Boric acid can be used as an antiseptic for minor burns or cuts and is sometimes used in dressings or salves. Boric acid is applied in a very dilute solution as an eye wash. Dilute boric acid can be used as a vaginal douche to treat bacterial vaginosis due to excessive alkalinity, as well as candidiasis due to non-albicans candida. As an antibacterial compound, boric acid can also be used as an acne treatment. It is also used as prevention of athlete's foot, by inserting powder in the socks or stockings, and in alcohol solution can be used to treat some kinds of otitis externa (ear infection) in both humans and animals
HEXACHLOROPHENE
For use as a surgical scrub and a bacteriostatic skin cleanser. It may also be used to control an outbreak of gram-positive infection where other infection control procedures have been unsuccessful
SALICYLIC ACID
Key additive in many skin-care products for the treatment of acne, psoriasis, callouses, corns, keratosis pilaris and warts

Side effects of Boric acid, Hexachlorophene, Salicylic acid, Talc :
Mechanism of Action
HEXACHLOROPHENE
The primary mechanism of action of hexachlorophene, based on studies with bacillus megatherium, is to inhibit the membrane-bound part of the electron transport chain, respiratory d-lactate dehydrogenase. It induces leakage, causes protoplast lysis, and inhibits respiration
SALICYLIC ACID
Salicylic acid directly and irreversibly inhibits the activity of both types of cyclo-oxygenases (cox-1 and cox-2) to decrease the formation of precursors of prostaglandins and thromboxanes from arachidonic acid. Salicylate may competitively inhibit prostaglandin formation. Salicylate's antirheumatic (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory) actions are a result of its analgesic and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. Salicylic acid is a key ingredient in many skin-care products for the treatment of acne, psoriasis, calluses, corns, keratosis pilaris, and warts. It works by causing the cells of the epidermis to slough off more readily, preventing pores from clogging up, and allowing room for new cell growth. Because of its effect on skin cells, salicylic acid is used in several shampoos used to treat dandruff. Salicylic acid is also used as an active ingredient in gels which remove verrucas (plantar warts). Salicylic acid inhibits the oxidation of uridine-5-diphosphoglucose (udpg) competitively with nicotinamide adenosine dinucleotide (nad) and noncompetitively with udpg. It also competitively inhibits the transferring of glucuronyl group of uridine-5-phosphoglucuronic acid (udpga) to the phenolic acceptor. The wound-healing retardation action of salicylates is probably due mainly to its inhibitory action on mucopolysaccharide synthesis
