About Meganano Gel

Meganano Gel is a topical medication used to treat wound infections. It helps in wound healing caused by serious burns and cuts. A burn is damage to the external skin or deeper tissues caused by various reasons.

Meganano Gel contains Nanocrystalline silver as an active ingredient. It forms a gel and releases nanocrystalline silver cations onto the wound bed when it comes into contact with wound exudate, demonstrating its absorbent quality.

Meganano Gel may cause certain side effects, such as burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. These side effects gradually resolve during the treatment and do not require medical attention. Apply Meganano Gel as advised by your doctor.

Discontinue the use and inform your doctor if you observe any allergic reactions after applying the medicine. Let your doctor know if you have any previous allergies to topical medicines, silver-containing products, or liver/kidney problems before using Meganano Gel . Please consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Description

Meganano Gel is a clear, transparent gel that contains silver in nanoparticle form. Through a unique biostabilisation process, this gel is designed especially for treating burns and wound care. It exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties without resistance, effectively tackling both bacterial and fungal microorganisms with 30 times less silver concentration than other treatments. The nanoparticles work by disrupting bacterial cell walls and inhibiting cell respiration, thereby preventing multiplication. Furthermore, the silver nanoparticles in Meganano Ointment can trigger the cellular antioxidant system, safeguarding against oxidative damage and potentially promoting scarless wound healing. One notable benefit of this gel is its transparency, allowing for direct wound monitoring. With its minimal toxicity to tissues and non-irritating, non-staining attributes, Meganano Gel offers a safer alternative to conventional antimicrobial ointments.

  • Anti-infective topical gel
  • Non-irritating
  • Non-staining
