Precautions while Using Allevyn Dressing

  • For external use only.
  • Allevyn Ag Non-Adhesive is not compatible with oxidizing agents (e.g. EUSOL) or hydrogen peroxide, as these can break down the absorbent polyurethane component of the dressing.
  • Allevyn Ag Non-Adhesive dressings are not intended to provide treatment for infected wounds.
  • Allevyn Ag Non-Adhesive may be used on infected wounds being managed in accordance with institutional clinical protocols for infection abatement as an adjunct to the standard treatment regimen to provide a barrier to bacterial penetration.
  • Allevyn Ag Non-Adhesive may not be compatible with topical anti-microbials Reddening of the skin around the wound may be observed.
  • This may be related to irritation of fragile skin or wound exudates remaining in contact with normal skin for prolonged periods of time.
  • If reddening or sensitization occur, discontinue use.
  • Avoid contact with electrodes or conductive gels during electronic measurements e.g. EEG and ECG.
  • When Allevyn Ag Non Adhesive is used on a patient during MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) examination some warming may be experienced
  • Allevyn Ag Non-Adhesive is not compatible with oil based products such as petrolatum.
  • Allevyn Ag Non-Adhesive is not suitable for use on cavity wounds but may be used over cavity wounds as a secondary dressing.
  • As with all products containing silver sulfadiazine the following precautions should be noted, especially when covering a large surface area with the dressing.
  • Use caution in patients with significant hepatic or renal impairment
  • Use caution in individuals known to have glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency
  • Effects of systemically administered drugs may be altered.
  • This can especially apply to oral hypoglycaemic agents and to phenytoin.
  • In the case of these drugs, it is recommended that blood levels should be monitored as their effect can be potentiated.
