RECOMBINANT HUMAN EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR+CHLORHEXIDINE GLUCONATE+SILVER SULFADIAZINE contains Recombinant human epidermal growth factor, Chlorhexidine gluconate and Silver sulfadiazine. RECOMBINANT HUMAN EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR+CHLORHEXIDINE GLUCONATE+SILVER SULFADIAZINE works by decreasing bacterial growth and healing time. It also increases the tensile strength of the scars, thereby promoting healing.

In some cases, RECOMBINANT HUMAN EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR+CHLORHEXIDINE GLUCONATE+SILVER SULFADIAZINE may cause side effects like irritation, itching, pain, and rash. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Uses of RECOMBINANT HUMAN EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR+CHLORHEXIDINE GLUCONATE+SILVER SULFADIAZINE

Treatment of First and second-degree burns and skin ulcers such as incisions, abrasions, minor cuts and wounds

Medicinal Benefits

RECOMBINANT HUMAN EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR+CHLORHEXIDINE GLUCONATE+SILVER SULFADIAZINE is a synergistic formulation used for burns and wound treatment. RECOMBINANT HUMAN EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR+CHLORHEXIDINE GLUCONATE+SILVER SULFADIAZINE contains Recombinant human epidermal growth factor, Chlorhexidine gluconate and Silver sulfadiazine. The recombinant human epidermal growth factor activates by binding with EGF receptors on keratinocytes and fibroblasts. It results in cell proliferation, inhibition of cell death, formation of new blood vessels, and collagen synthesis. Chlorhexidine gluconate has antiseptic & antibacterial properties. It is powerful and non-toxic. It binds to bacterial cell walls and inhibits bacterial growth. Silver sulfadiazine has effective anti-microbial activity and inhibits bacterial synthesis by acting on bacterial cell walls/membranes. Together, RECOMBINANT HUMAN EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR+CHLORHEXIDINE GLUCONATE+SILVER SULFADIAZINE helps treat burns. It ensures faster wound healing and also protects the cells from silver toxicity.

    Patients Concern

    Disease/Condition Glossary

    Burns: A burn is an injury to the skin or other tissues primarily caused by heat or due to electricity, radiation, radioactivity, friction or contact with chemicals. Based on the severity of skin damage, burns are categorised into three 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 causes blisters), and third-degree burns (most severe burns extending through every layer of skin). Symptoms include blisters, pain, peeling skin, shock, swelling, and red, white or charred skin.
