Burnosept Plus Cream

Your doctor may prescribe Burnosept Plus Cream to help manage the following conditions:

• Burn wounds: Burnosept Plus Cream helps prevent bacterial growth on damaged skin surfaces and supports the recovery of burned tissues.
• Skin ulcers: This cream protects chronic open sores, such as pressure ulcers or diabetic foot ulcers, from infection while encouraging skin cell regeneration.
• Minor cuts and scrapes: It acts as an antiseptic barrier that keeps dirt and bacteria out of minor skin injuries, lowering the risk of infection.
• Surgical wound care: It can be used under medical supervision to protect healing incisions and keep the surrounding skin moist and healthy.

When used as directed as part of your treatment plan, this medicine may provide the following benefits:

• Supports Wound Healing: Burnosept Plus Cream provides comprehensive relief by keeping the wound environment sterile and moist, which is essential for faster tissue repair. By preventing bacterial contamination, it minimises the risk of complications that can delay recovery.
• Helps Reduce Scarring: The soothing properties of the cream help calm irritated skin, reducing the stinging, itching, and discomfort often associated with healing wounds. It also helps minimise scarring by keeping the healing skin supple and hydrated, allowing you to return to your normal daily activities more comfortably.

• Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
• Apply a small amount of Burnosept Plus Cream to the affected skin area and gently massage it.
• Before applying, wash the affected area with soap and water.

• Boost protein intake: Eat lean meats, fish, eggs, beans, and tofu, as protein is the essential building block your body needs to repair damaged skin tissues.
• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out, which supports healthy cellular function and wound healing.
• Eat vitamin-rich foods: Incorporate foods high in Vitamin C (like citrus fruits and bell peppers) and Zinc (like nuts and seeds) to boost your immune system and collagen production.
• Avoid smoking: Avoid smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke, as nicotine restricts blood vessels and reduces the delivery of oxygen and nutrients needed for skin healing.
• Protect the wound: Avoid tight clothing over the treated area to prevent friction, and do not pick at scabs, as this can delay healing and cause scarring.
   

• Check for discolouration: Do not use the cream if it has turned dark brown or black in the tube, as this may indicate decomposition of the active silver component.
• Avoid sensitive areas: Do not apply Burnosept Plus Cream near your eyes, nose, mouth, or inside the ears. If accidental contact occurs, rinse immediately with cold water.
• Do not share: To prevent cross-contamination and the spread of skin infections, do not share your tube of Burnosept Plus Cream with anyone else.
• Watch for temporary staining: Be aware that the silver in this cream can temporarily stain skin a greyish-black colour and may permanently stain clothing or bed sheets.
• Stop if irritation worsens: If your skin condition does not improve within a few days, or if it becomes worse, stop using the cream and contact your doctor.
