Product introduction

Silvacure Plus Cream is a combination medicine used in the treatment of burns and wound infection. Its antiseptic property prevents infections and protects the skin to speed up the healing.

Silvacure Plus Cream is for external use only. You should always use it exactly as your doctor has told you. The affected area should be clean and dry before application. You must wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying this medicine. This medicine should be used regularly to get the most benefit from it. You should not get it in the eyes, mouth, or nose. Rinse with cold water if you accidentally get it in these areas.

It is safe to use medicine with no common side effects. However, if you experience any unusual side effects contact your doctor. 

It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way it works but talk to your doctor before using it if you have used a similar medicine before and had an allergic reaction. Do not touch or scratch the affected area as this may delay the healing process.

How Silvacure Cream works

Silvacure Plus Cream is a combination of four medicines. Silver Nitrate is an antiseptic. It works by releasing silver ions into the skin which kills or prevents the growth of infectious microorganisms. Chlorhexidine Gluconate is an antiseptic. It works by killing harmful microorganisms and cleans the affected area. Allantoin is a skin protectant that works as a moisturizer and relieves minor skin irritations. Aloe Vera is a plant. Its extracts form a protective layer on the skin by restoring moisture, so that it feels hydrated and refreshed.
