Silverex Ionic 0.2% Gel Uses

Silverex Ionic 0.2% Gel is prescribed to:

  • Prevent and manage bacterial infections in burns, wounds, and ulcers.
  • Promote healing in minor skin injuries and surgical incisions.
  • Reduce the risk of infection in first- and second-degree burns.

How Does Silverex Ionic 0.2% Gel Work

The active ingredient, ionic silver, releases silver ions that have strong antibacterial properties. These ions penetrate bacterial cell walls, disrupting their metabolic processes and inhibiting growth. By reducing bacterial load and inflammation, Silverex Ionic Gel accelerates the natural healing process of the skin.
