About Wbc Cream
Wbc Cream belongs to a combination of medicines called 'topical antibiotics' primarily used to treat burns and prevent skin infections. Burns are common household injuries that damage the skin or deeper tissues and cause the death of affected skin cells. Based on the severity of skin damage, burns are categorized into 3 main types: first-degree, second-degree, and third-degree burns.
Wbc Cream is a combination of two drugs: Silver sulfadiazine (antibiotic) and Chlorhexidine (antiseptic). Silver sulfadiazine belongs to the class of sulfa antibiotics that inhibit the production of folic acid (a vitamin) necessary for bacteria to multiply and increase in numbers. Thereby, destroys bacteria. Chlorhexidine belongs to the antiseptics class that works by binding to the skin strongly and kills micro-organisms on the skin and prevents infection.
Use Wbc Cream as prescribed. Wbc Cream is for external use only. Avoid contact of Wbc Cream with nose, ears, mouth, or eyes. In case Wbc Cream comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Your doctor will advise you how often you take Wbc Cream based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience irritation, itching, or burning sensation at the site of application. Most of these side effects of Wbc Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to Wbc Cream or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Do not swallow Wbc Cream. In case of accidental swallowing, contact a nearby poison control center or consult a doctor immediately. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, please inform your doctor before taking Wbc Cream. Wear sterile disposable gloves if you apply Wbc Cream for others and keep the treated area clean to prevent further infection. You are advised to cover the burn wounds with Wbc Cream all the time and cover the treated area with dressings or bandages if advised by your doctor. Do not apply Wbc Cream in large amounts or use for a long time than prescribed as it does not give quick or better results but increases the risk of side effects. Avoid contact of Wbc Cream with clothes or fabric as it may cause staining. If you have glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (a genetic enzyme) deficiency, kidney or liver problems, inform your doctor before taking Wbc Cream.

Silver sulfadiazine is an antibiotic that works by inhibiting the production of folic acid (a vitamin) that is necessary for bacteria to multiply and increase in numbers. Thereby, destroys bacteria. Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic that works by binding to the skin strongly and kills micro-organisms on the skin. Together, Wbc Cream helps to clean the skin and prevent infection.
Yes, Wbc Cream may cause itching of the skin at the site of application as a temporary side effect. However, if the itching persists or worsens, please consult a doctor.
You are not recommended to use Wbc Cream with prilocaine (local anaesthetic) as it may increase the risk of methemoglobinemia (a blood disorder in which very less oxygen is delivered to vital organs and tissues). If you experience shortness of breath, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, light-headedness, grey discolouration of the skin, nail bed or mouth, confusion, headache, nausea or tiredness, please consult a doctor immediately. However, consult your doctor before using Wbc Cream with other medicines.
Wbc Cream may cause staining of clothes as it contains Chlorhexidine responsible for staining. Therefore, avoid contact of Wbc Cream with clothes or fabric and also avoid bleach to wash fabric that is in contact with Wbc Cream as it may cause a permanent stain.
You are recommended to use Wbc Cream for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. However, if the condition persists or worsens after using Wbc Cream for 1 week, please consult a doctor.
No, please do not stop using Wbc Cream without consulting your doctor even if you find symptomatic relief as discontinuing suddenly may worsen the infection. Therefore, complete the full course of Wbc Cream as your doctor has prescribed it, and if you experience any difficulty while using Wbc Cream, please consult your doctor.
