Sufre Tulle 10 Dressing

Framycetin Sulfate, also known as neomycin B, primarily exerts its antibacterial effect by binding to specific subunits of the bacterial ribosome, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis. It specifically targets the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, leading to misreading of mRNA and subsequent inhibition of protein synthesis, which is essential for the survival and replication of bacteria. This mechanism of action helps in controlling and eliminating bacteria that may cause or contribute to infections.

• Dressings containing Framycetin should not be used with other silver-containing products, as this may reduce the antibacterial effectiveness of both agents.
• Topical corticosteroids, when used with Framycitin dressings, may mask the signs of infection and increase the risk of fungal or bacterial superinfections.
• Some antiseptic solutions, like iodine or chlorhexidine, might inactivate Framycetin if applied directly to the dressing.
• Framycetin may be inactivated by certain enzymes present in the body, such as proteases, which can be found in some wound debriding agents.
• The use of Framycetin with other drugs that cause neuromuscular blockade, like muscle relaxants, could potentially enhance their effects.

Following are the food interactions to be aware of when using Framycetin Sulphate 0.01 Dressing:

• Avoid consuming large amounts of cranberry juice or products, as they may decrease the effectiveness of Framycetin.

• Alcohol consumption should be minimized as it may increase the risk of side effects and slow down wound healing.
• Foods high in vitamin K, like leafy greens, should be consumed in moderation as they can interfere with the medication's blood-clotting properties.
• Avoid excessive salt intake, as it can affect the body's fluid balance and potentially impact the wound healing process.
• Dairy products with active cultures, such as yogurt, might interact and reduce antibiotic effectiveness.
• Sugar intake should be monitored, as high sugar levels can hinder the healing process and potentially worsen the infection.
• Stay hydrated, but avoid excessive fluid intake, as it can affect the dressing's adhesion and impact wound management.
