COLLOIDAL SILVER belongs to the group of medicines called antiseptic agents primarily used to treat and prevent infections in or around skin wounds, cuts, and scratches. A skin wound is a damage to the surface of the skin. Some types of wounds are cuts, scrapes, scratches, and punctured skin.
COLLOIDAL SILVER contains colloidal silver. It attaches to proteins on the cell walls of bacteria, disrupts their DNA, hampers vital functions and damages microbial cell walls. Thereby, COLLOIDAL SILVER helps prevent infections in the affected area.
COLLOIDAL SILVER is for external use only. In some cases, COLLOIDAL SILVER may cause common side effects like a burning sensation and irritation at the application site. Most of these side effects of COLLOIDAL SILVER do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If the side effects persist or worsen, consult a doctor.
Please do not use COLLOIDAL SILVER without doctor advice if you had a skin reaction or irritation to any medicine. Do not take antibiotics and thyroxine while using COLLOIDAL SILVER because it may cause poor absorption. Seek medical advice from your doctor before using COLLOIDAL SILVER if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not use COLLOIDAL SILVER in more than prescribed doses or longer duration as it may cause adverse effects.
