How to Use Allanfil Ointment

Allanfil ointment--also referred to as Allanfil 405 ointment, Ziox 405, Gladase-C and Panafil--is an enzymatic debriding agent comprised of chlorophyllin copper, urea and papain. Papain, specifically, dissolves dead skin tissue to promote wound healing when combined with urea. Chlorophyllin copper controls skin inflammation and reduces foul odors. Allanfil ointment is prescribed only for topical application and is used to treat skin disorders such as burns, bed sores, skin infections, surgical wounds and diabetic ulcers. Available in spray form, the medicine is easy to maintain by storing in an upright position at room temperature and is easy to apply.

Instructions

• 1

  Wash hands with soap and water to prevent germs from entering the wounded skin. Clean the affected area of skin as taught by a medical professional. Wash hands again to prevent contamination of the Allanfil ointment spray bottle.

• 2

  Prime the spray bottle of Allanfil ointment by holding the bottle upright over the wound or burn and pumping it six to eight times. This action will prepare the ointment to spray evenly.

• 3

  Hold the bottle of ointment two to three inches away from affected skin area and spray to cover the area completely. Use firm and equal pressure with every pump when applying medicine. Apply only a thin layer. Proper application will make the wound or burn invisible.

• 4

  Cover the wound as instructed by physician. Wash hands with soap and water a third time to prevent the spread of infection.
