How to use Silva Cream
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.
How Silva Cream works
Silva 1% Cream contains three active ingredients. Silver sulfadiazine disintegrates into the burn wound, thereby causing a slow and sustained release of silver ions. They inhibit the growth and multiplication of bacterial cells without affecting the cells of the skin. It prevents the growth of a wide array of bacteria, as well as yeast, on the damaged skin. Lidocaine suppresses the pain signals to the brain temporarily. Chlorhexidine works against a wide range of bacteria by disrupting the cell membrane of bacteria.
