Hentaxan, a new silicon sorbent, is a complex drug preparation containing hentamycin sulfate and zinc-tryptophan, endowed with antioxidant and immunomodulating activities. We used it for treating suppurating wounds in those women in labour. As many as 65 parturient women were examined. The conclusion drawn from the obtained results is that the immunomodulating potential of hentaxan is not very high, for which reason we recommend that hentaxan be combined with laferon which effects the T-link of immunity. The proposed method is at present under study.
