Silhexa Cream

Silhexa Cream is used to prevent and treat bacterial infections in damaged skin and wounds. It is commonly applied to burns, ulcers, and graft sites where infection control is essential for proper healing, including:

• Burn wound infections: Silhexa Cream helps prevent and treat bacterial growth in second- and third-degree burns, keeping the wound clean and sterile.
• Skin graft protection: It protects newly grafted skin areas from environmental bacteria, reducing the risk of graft rejection due to local infection.
• Chronic ulcer treatment: It is used to clear bacterial infections in long-term skin sores, such as pressure wounds or diabetic leg ulcers.

By combining two powerful antimicrobial agents, Silhexa Cream provides several benefits that support wound healing and infection prevention, including:

• Broad-Spectrum Infection Protection: Helps control a wide range of bacteria that commonly infect burns and open wounds.
• Reduces the Risk of Serious Complications: Prevents local wound infections from progressing into more severe or systemic infections.
• Supports Wound Healing: Maintains a cleaner wound environment, allowing the body's natural healing processes to work more effectively.
• Protects Vulnerable Skin Areas: Provides ongoing antimicrobial protection for burns, skin grafts, and chronic ulcers.
• Helps Maintain a Moist Healing Environment: The cream base helps keep wounds appropriately moisturised, which can support tissue repair.
• Improves Comfort During Recovery: Forms a protective barrier over damaged skin, helping reduce irritation from external contaminants and dressing changes.

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safety.
• Apply a small amount of Silhexa Cream on the clean and dry affected area with the help of an applicator or a clean cotton ball, or a swab as directed by the doctor.
• Silhexa Cream is for external use only.
• Avoid contact of Silhexa Cream with nose, mouth or eyes. If contact occurs, rinse with water.

• Eat a protein-rich diet: Include lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy, beans, or tofu in your daily meals to provide the amino acids your body needs for skin repair.
• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Healing wounds require proper skin hydration to recover efficiently.
• Increase Vitamin C and Zinc: Eat foods like bell peppers, citrus fruits, nuts, and seeds, which are clinically known to support collagen production and immune health.
• Avoid smoking: Tobacco smoke constricts blood vessels, reducing the delivery of oxygen and vital nutrients to your healing skin, which can significantly delay recovery.

• Check the colour: Always inspect the cream before applying. If it has turned dark gray, black, or has separated, do not use it and consult your pharmacist.
• Use sterile tools: Never dip your bare fingers directly into the jar if you are not wearing sterile gloves. Use a sterile applicator to avoid introducing bacteria into the container.
• Protect treated areas from the sun: This medicine can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, which may cause dark skin staining. Keep treated areas shaded or covered when outdoors.
• Limit use on large areas: If you are applying the cream to a very large part of your body, talk to your doctor regularly to monitor your blood counts and kidney function.
• Avoid contact with clothing: The cream can cause gray or silver staining on fabrics, so cover the application site with sterile dressings if needed to protect your clothes.
