Feracrylum.

Feracrylum gel is a hemostatic, antimicrobial and hygroscopic agent.
COMPOSITION: Feracrylum 1% w/w, Water miscible base q.s.
Contents of water miscible base: Purified water BP, Propylene glycol BP, Carbopol 934 USP, triethanol amine BP, butylated hydroxy anisole BP.

Feracrylum is soluble water and nonabsorbable in the systemic circulation. When feracrylum comes in contact with serum protein, it forms a thin whitish film that has a gel-like structure, which creates a physical barrier. This reduces oozing from the wound, thus exerting local hemostatic action, and protects the wound from contamination.
In addition to its hemostatic property, feracrylum also has the following features: A wide range of antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and pathogenic fungi.
Hygroscopic, thus maintaining a moist environment for the wound site conducive for rapid wound healing and helps in painless removal of the dressing.
Reduces serious oozing, without any toxicity, local irritation and is nonallergenic thus making it the most suitable topical wound protector.
May also help minimize the appearance of scars while preventing infection.

Replace the cap after use. Keep the tube tightly closed after every use.

Use of feracrylum is contraindicated in patients taking epsilon aminocaproic acid (EACA) because EACA interferes with the formation of feracrylum-albumin clot. It reduces the pH of feracrylum resulting in chemical burns.

FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY. Do not use in the eyes.
In case of accidental ingestion, seek professional assistance.

There are no studies in pregnant woman. It is not known whether feracrylum is excreted in human milk.

Tell the doctor about all medicines the patient is taking, including vitamins, supplements, and herbal medicines.

There are no studies in pregnant woman. It is not known whether feracrylum is excreted in human milk.

Feracrylum is not absorbed into the systemic circulation (due to its high molecular weight) and does not affect normal body functions.
Feracrylum does not produce any adverse effects on application both during and after operation (i.e., hypotension, ischemia, wound infection, local and/or systemic allergic or anaphylactic reactions). In addition, it does not display rebound bleeding nor affects the healing process.
