How it works
Medsil Cream is a combination of four medicines. Silver Sulfadiazine is an antibiotic that stops the bacteria from producing folic acid, a nutrient required for bacterial multiplication. Chlorhexidine Gluconate is an antiseptic that works by killing harmful microorganisms and cleans the affected area. Aloe Vera is a plant that forms a protective layer on the skin by restoring moisture, so that it feels hydrated and refreshed. Allantoin is a skin protectant that works as a moisturizer and relieves minor skin irritations.
Quick Tips
Clean the affected area and then apply the cream using a sterile gloved hand or a sterile spatula Apply it once or twice daily and re-apply to any areas from which it gets removed due to activity. Burn areas should be covered with the cream at all times Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the cream in these areas
