FAQ
Can I use hydrogen peroxide solution to clean the area before applying Debrifree?
It is advisable to avoid cleansing the wound with hydrogen peroxide solution before applying Debrifree as it may inactivate the papain present in it.
I can feel slight discomfort after using Debrifree on the wound area. Is this normal?
Yes, you may feel a slight burning sensation after applying Debrifree. This is due to the enzymatic action of papain present in the ointment. In such cases, more frequent dressing changes will reduce discomfort until the wound is healed.
What precautions should I take while using Debrifree?
This ointment is for topical use (for skin) only. Do not use it on open cuts and infected skin, and avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, and genitals. It can make your skin more sensitive to the harmful effects of sunlight. So, use sunscreen and wear protective clothing while using Debrifree. Also do not use it on larger areas and for prolonged periods unless prescribed by the doctor.
Can I use other skin creams while using Debrifree?
It is advisable to avoid using other creams on the affected area while using this ointment without consulting the doctor. If your doctor prescribes other skin creams or ointments along with Debrifree, you should maintain an interval of at least 30 mins between the two medications.
How to use Debrifree?
Before using this medicine, clean the wound with saline or another mild wound-cleansing solution recommended by the doctor. Apply the ointment directly to the wound, cover it with an appropriate dressing, and secure it into place. If possible, change the dressing 1 to 2 times per day.
What if you forget to take Debrifree?
If you miss a dose of Debrifree, apply it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
