Unosil Antimicrobial Wound & Burn Spray is used to cauterize (medical practice of burning or removing a part of a body to stop bleeding and prevent infection) infected tissues around a skin wound. It is also used to remove warts or skin tags and treat skin ulcers and mouth sores. It contains Silver Nitrate which kills bacteria. Free silver ions of silver nitrate precipitate bacterial proteins by combining with chloride in tissue to form silver chloride. It coagulates cellular protein to form an eschar (dead tissue that sheds or falls off from the skin wound). It may cause common side effects like burning sensation, skin staining, and irritation at the application site. Before using this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
