Silhexa Cream belongs to a combination of medicines called 'topical antibiotics' primarily used to treat burns and prevent skin infections. Burns are common household 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: first-degree, second-degree, and third-degree burns.
Silhexa Cream is a combination of two drugs: Silver sulfadiazine (antibiotic) and Chlorhexidine (antiseptic). Silver sulfadiazine belongs to the class of sulfa antibiotics that inhibit the production of folic acid (a vitamin) necessary for bacteria to multiply and increase in numbers. Thereby, destroys bacteria. Chlorhexidine belongs to the antiseptics class that works by binding to the skin strongly and kills micro-organisms on the skin and prevents infection.
Use Silhexa Cream as prescribed. Silhexa Cream is for external use only. Avoid contact of Silhexa Cream with nose, ears, mouth, or eyes. In case Silhexa Cream comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Your doctor will advise you how often you take Silhexa Cream based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience irritation, itching, or burning sensation at the site of application. Most of these side effects of Silhexa Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to Silhexa Cream or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Do not swallow Silhexa Cream. In case of accidental swallowing, contact a nearby poison control center or consult a doctor immediately. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, please inform your doctor before taking Silhexa Cream. Wear sterile disposable gloves if you apply Silhexa Cream for others and keep the treated area clean to prevent further infection. You are advised to cover the burn wounds with Silhexa Cream all the time and cover the treated area with dressings or bandages if advised by your doctor. Do not apply Silhexa Cream in large amounts or use for a long time than prescribed as it does not give quick or better results but increases the risk of side effects. Avoid contact of Silhexa Cream with clothes or fabric as it may cause staining. If you have glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (a genetic enzyme) deficiency, kidney or liver problems, inform your doctor before taking Silhexa Cream.

Also, Chlorhexidine is used to disinfect the hands before performing surgery to prevent the entry of germs into the body when the skin is cut. It kills a wide range of yeasts, bacteria, and some viruses and fungi.
