Noxythiolin is an antimicrobial agent. It can be used for irrigation procedures with noxythiolin solution to reduce the risk of sepsis in patients undergoing percutaneous drainage procedures. It seems mechanism of action is based on ability of noxythiolin to decompose in solution to liberate most of its formaldehyde.
