Overview Plermin Gel
Diabetic foot ulcers, a common diabetes complication, are treated effectively with Plermin Gel. This gel promotes rapid healing of leg, ankle, and foot sores in diabetic patients, fostering healthy skin regeneration and alleviating associated infections. For external use only, apply as directed by your physician. Ensure the affected area is clean and dry before application, washing hands thoroughly beforehand and afterward. Consistent use maximizes therapeutic benefits. Report any worsening or lack of improvement to your doctor. Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the affected area, and always wash your hands before and after application to enhance treatment effectiveness. Appropriate footwear is also recommended. Common side effects include localized burning, irritation, itching, and redness. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor. Seek immediate medical attention for severe allergic reactions (rash, lip/throat/face swelling, difficulty breathing/swallowing, dizziness, nausea). While unlikely to interact with oral or injectable medications, inform your doctor of any prior use of similar medications, especially if an allergic reaction occurred. Use during pregnancy is only justified when clearly necessary.
