Policresulen

Introduction

Policresulen is an antiseptic and hemostatic medication used to treat wounds, ulcers, and infections of the skin and mucous membranes. It has a unique ability to selectively coagulate necrotic (dead) tissue while promoting the regeneration of healthy cells. Policresulen is commonly used in gynecological, dental, and dermatological care to accelerate healing and reduce inflammation and infection. Available in topical and suppository forms, it provides effective local treatment without systemic side effects.

Uses of Policresulen

• Management of mouth ulcers and gingivitis
• Promotes healing in skin ulcers and wounds
• Used in dental surgeries to treat infected gums

How Policresulen Works

Policresulen works by binding to damaged and dead tissues, causing them to coagulate and slough off naturally. This process promotes the growth of healthy tissue underneath. It also has strong antiseptic properties, preventing bacterial and fungal infections in the affected area.
