Swissmedic-approved patient informationIalugen Plus®IBSA Institut Biochimique SAWhat is Ialugen Plus and when is it used?Ialugen Plus contains the active ingredient sodium hyaluronate, a natural substance that accelerates scarring, and silver sulfadiazine, which has an antibacterial effect. In the case of self-medication, Ialugen Plus is indicated for the treatment of small burns and small infected wounds. With a doctor's prescription, Ialugen Plus can be used to treat ulcers, burns and wounds infected by microorganisms or fungi. Ialugen Plus Cream can also be used to treat anal fissures and wounds after surgery to remove hemorrhoids (hemorrhoidectomy). What should be considered?Every burn must be immediately cooled with cold water; the blisters heal better if left intact. Extensive or severe burns and ulcers must be treated under medical supervision. Extensive wounds that are often infected or deep, such as bites and puncture wounds, require medical attention (risk of tetanus). If the wound size does not decrease within a certain time or if the wound has not healed after 10-14 days, you should consult your doctor. This also applies if the edges of the wound are very red, if the wound swells and becomes painful or if you have a fever (risk of blood poisoning). When should Ialugen Plus not be used?Ialugen Plus should not be used in the following cases: during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy (last 3 months of pregnancy);in premature and newborn babies and infants in the first two months of life, because sulfonamides can cause brain damage (kernicterus). ;If you are known to be hypersensitive to the active ingredients or to one of the excipients.When should Ialugen Plus be used with caution?In the following situations, caution is advised, use Ialugen Plus only with a doctor's prescription: if you are allergic to sulfonamides;if you suffer from kidney dysfunction;if you suffer from liver dysfunction or liver disease; li>if you suffer from glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (rare hereditary metabolic disorder which can lead to damage to red blood cells by various medicines);if you have acute porphyria (disorder of the formation of the red blood pigment);if you have been diagnosed with a pathological change in your blood count with a reduction in the number of white blood cells (leukopenia);if you know that you are a "slow acetylator" which means that certain medicines are broken down more slowly in your liver.The wound should be cleaned before treatment with Ialugen Plus. If there are necrotic deposits, they must be removed by a doctor. Under the influence of sunlight, a gray discoloration of the skin (= argyrose) can occur due to the storage of silver. The parts of the body treated with Ialugen Plus should be protected by covering them with a sterile, breathable bandage or suitable clothing. Serious skin reactions (e.g. Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis), which may be life-threatening, have been reported in association with the use of silver sulfadiazine. These appear initially as reddish, target-like or circular patches (often with a central blister) on the trunk. The rash can cause widespread blistering or peeling of the skin. Additional symptoms to look out for include open, sore spots (ulcers) in the mouth, throat, nose, and genitals, and red and swollen eyes (conjunctivitis). These potentially life-threatening skin reactions are often accompanied by flu-like symptoms (headache, fever and body aches). If you get a skin rash or any of the other symptoms listed above, stop using Ialugen Plus and see a doctor straight away: tell them you are using this medicine. Using Ialugen Plus with other medicinesTell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or using other medicines, others recently have taken or used any medicines or intend to take or use any other medicines. Since a small part of the active substance silver sulfadiazine contained in Ialugen Plus can be absorbed by the body, interactions with other medicines are possible, e.g. medicines to inhibit blood clotting or to treat diabetes. If other creams containing proteolytic enzymes are applied at the same time, the silver component of Ialugen Plus can reduce the effect of the enzymes.
