Silverex Ionic Gel 10 gm

Silverex Ionic Gel belongs to the class of drugs called antiseptics used in the treatment of cuts, burns and wounds. It also helps to prevent infections on the wounds. Burns are injuries that damage the skin or deeper tissues and cause the death of affected skin cells. Based on the severity of skin damage, burns are categorized into 3 main types, namely, first-degree, second-degree and third-degree burns.

Silverex Ionic Gel is a combination of two antiseptics, namely:  Silver nitrate and Ethyl alcohol. Silver nitrate possesses both antiseptic and antimicrobial properties. It releases silver ions into the skin that kills or inhibits the growth of microorganisms. Ethyl alcohol works by killing microorganisms on the skin and preventing infection.

• Include protein-rich foods such as yogurt, chicken, and eggs in your diet as there is a loss of protein through burn wounds and the breakdown of muscles to produce extra energy for the healing process. The additional protein is required to rebuild lost muscle.
• Add more carbohydrates to your diet, such as potatoes, beans, and rice, as glucose in carbohydrates is essential for healing.
• Eat foods rich in quercetin (a flavonoid) such as apples, cherries, broccoli, spinach, and blueberries.
• Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and avoid drinking sugary beverages.

Burns are injuries that damage the skin or deeper tissues and cause the death of affected skin cells. Based on the severity of skin damage, burns are categorized into 3 main types namely, first-degree (also known as superficial burns which cause minimal damage to the skin), second-degree (extends beyond the top layer of skin and cause blisters) and third-degree burns (most severe burns extending through every layer of skin). Burns may be caused due to excessive sun exposure, electrical burns, chemical burns, hot, boiling liquids, fires including flames from candles, matches or lighters.
