How Silvo Products work
Sulfadiazine + Chlorhexidine Gluconate is a combination of two medicines: Sulfadiazine + Chlorhexidine Gluconate1 and Sulfadiazine + Chlorhexidine Gluconate2. Sulfadiazine + Chlorhexidine Gluconate1 is an antibiotic. It stops bacteria from producing folic acid, a nutrient required for bacterial multiplication. Sulfadiazine + Chlorhexidine Gluconate2 is an antiseptic and disinfectant which works by binding strongly with skin. It kills infectious microorganisms and effectively cleans out cuts, wounds and burns to prevent them from getting infected.
