Silverstream Liquid 250 ml

Silverstream Liquid is a topical anti-infective, antiseptic, antibacterial, and cauterising agent, primarily used to cauterise infected tissues around a skin wound. Cauterisation is a medical practice of burning or removing a part of the body to stop bleeding and prevent infection. Silverstream Liquid helps create a scab (protective tissue covering that forms after skin damage) to stop bleeding from a minor skin wound.

Silverstream Liquid contains 'Silver Nitrate,' which is an antiseptic and antibacterial agent that works by inhibiting the growth of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Free silver ions in silver nitrate act by precipitating bacterial proteins. They combine with tissue chlorides to form silver chloride and coagulate cellular proteins, resulting in the formation of an eschar (a layer of dead tissue that eventually sloughs off from the wound).

Silverstream Liquid is for external use only. Silverstream Liquid may cause common side effects like a burning sensation, skin staining, and irritation at the application site. These side effects gradually resolve during the treatment and do not require medical attention.

If you are allergic to Silverstream Liquid or any other medications, inform your doctor. Silverstream Liquid is not used to treat genital warts. Silverstream Liquid should be used with caution in electrolyte imbalance like hyponatremia (low sodium levels in the blood) and hypochloremia (low chloride levels in the blood). Silverstream Liquid can be caustic (able to burn) and irritates when applied to the skin and mucous membranes. Silverstream Liquid can easily stain skin, utensils, clothing and linens, hence it is advised to handle it carefully. Please consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to conceive before using Silverstream Liquid since it may affect the unborn baby.

Silverstream Liquid is used in the treatment of wounds, ulcers, and skin overgrowths. The detailed uses of Silverstream Liquid are as follows:

• Treatment of minor skin wounds: Silverstream Liquid prevents infection and promotes healing by destroying bacteria on the skin surface.
• Cauterisation of granulation tissue: Used to chemically cauterise overgrown tissue in wounds to aid healing.
• Removal of warts and skin tags: Applied to burn and destroy unwanted skin growths like warts and excess tissue.
• Control of minor bleeding: Used to stop bleeding from small wounds or cuts.
• Antimicrobial action: Acts as a disinfectant that kills a wide range of microbes on contact and prevents wound infections.

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safe and effective use.
• Take a small amount of gel on the fingertip and apply as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area as advised by your doctor.
• It is only for external use. Avoid contact with the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. If Silverstream Liquid comes into contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse with water immediately.

Silverstream Liquid contains 'Silver Nitrate,' and inhibits the growth of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Free silver ions of Silverstream Liquid precipitate bacterial proteins by combining with chloride in tissue to form silver chloride. These ions also denature and coagulate cellular proteins, leading to the formation of an eschar, which is dead tissue that eventually separates from the wound.

Silverstream Liquid is strictly for external use only. It is not used to treat genital warts. When used for longer periods and applied as a wet dressing, silver nitrate can cause electrolyte imbalance, such as hyponatremia and hypochloremia. Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Silverstream Liquid before starting. Silverstream Liquid is caustic (able to burn) and irritates when applied to the skin and mucous membranes. Silverstream Liquid can easily stain skin, utensils, clothing and linens, hence it is advised to handle it carefully. Please consult your doctor if you are a pregnant or breastfeeding woman.
