Indications for Drugs ::

Cuts, Wounds, Severe burns, Post-operative wound dressing, Bed sores

Drug Dose ::

Adult: Topical As 1% cream: Apply onto affected area 1-2 times/day. Burns: The burn wound should be cleaned and cream applied over all the affected areas to a depth of 3-5mm. Where necessary, the cream should be re-applied to any area from which it has been removed by patient activity. In burns, cream should be re-applied at least every 24 hours or more frequently if the volume of exudate is large. Hand burns: Before application of Sibalyn® cream to the burn, the whole hand should be enclosed in a clear plastic bag or glove . The patient should be encouraged to move the hand and fingers. The dressing should be changed when an excessive amount of exudate has accumulated in the bag. Leg Ulcers/Pressure Sores: The cavity of the ulcer should be filled with Cream to a depth of at least 3-5mm. As Cream can cause maceration of normal skin on prolonged contact, care should be taken to prevent spread onto non-ulcerated areas. Application of Cream should be followed by an absorbent pad or gauze dressing, with further application of pressure bandaging as appropriate for the ulcer.The dressings should normally be changed daily but for wounds which are less exudative, less frequent changes (every 48 hours) may be acceptable.
