Solcoseryl is a brand of product that contains calf blood extracts as its active ingredient. Calf blood extracts can stimulate tissue repair and aid in the healing of lesions. It is used to speed up the healing of wounds on the skin, mouth, or cornea.
Solcoseryl is available as dental adhesive paste, eye gel and jelly/ointment. Wash your hands before and after applying Solcoseryl.
For skin wounds, apply jelly/ointment thinly to the wounded area 1-2 times daily, and cover with a dressing. Do not massage in. Continue using until fresh skin tissue forms.
For mouth ulcers, apply dental adhesive paste 2-3 times daily until the ulcer heals. Apply the paste after brushing your teeth. Avoid eating or drinking after applying the paste.
For eye wounds, apply 1 drop to the conjunctival sac 3-4 times daily. Look down and gently close your eyes for one minute, while pressing gently with a clean finger at the corner of the eye near the nose. This prevents the gel from draining away from the eye. Do not touch the tip of the tube during administration. Close the tube immediately after administration. Do not use it longer than one month after opening the tube.
Common side effects of Solcoseryl include skin hypersensitivity.
