About Silverstream Liquid

Silverstream Liquid is used to cauterise infected tissues around a skin wound. It may also be used to remove skin warts/tags. Besides this, Silverstream Liquid also 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 prevents infection by inhibiting the growth of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It leads to the formation of an eschar, a dead tissue that eventually separates 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 typically resolve gradually during treatment and do not require medical attention.

Do not use Silverstream Liquid if you are allergic to any of its components. Silverstream Liquid should not be used to treat genital warts. Please consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Silverstream Liquid can easily stain skin, utensils, clothing and linens, hence handle it carefully.

Medicinal Benefits

Silverstream Liquid is a topical anti-infective, antiseptic, antibacterial, and cauterising agent. It is used to cauterise (burning or removing a part of a body) infected tissues around a skin wound. It creates a scab (protective tissue covering that forms after skin damage) to stop bleeding from a minor skin wound. It is also used to remove warts or skin tags. Silverstream Liquid contains 'Silver Nitrate,' which inhibits the growth of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Free silver ions of silver nitrate 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.
