Granudacyn

Granudacyn is available as a solution in 250 ml or 500 ml bottles.

This form is designed to meet the varied needs of patients and healthcare professionals, allowing for use tailored to the size and severity of the lesions.

Granudacyn wound irrigation solution is intended for use on various types of wounds, including:

• Chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers and pressure ulcers
• Acute wounds, such as cuts, bites, lacerations and abrasions
• Surgical wounds, both intraoperative and postoperative
• Wounds involving cartilage, tendons, ligaments or exposed bones
• First- and second-degree burns
• Radiation-induced ulcerations
• Fistulas and abscesses
• Severely colonised or infected wounds
• Soft tissue injuries.

Granudacyn solution is also recommended for moistening dressings.

For best results, Granudacyn should be used according to the instructions for use.

The wound should be thoroughly washed with the solution, then it is recommended to leave the solution to act for 60 seconds to allow the crusts to dissolve. It is essential to monitor the condition of the wound and adjust the frequency of use as necessary.

Granudacyn should not be used in case of known allergy to any of the ingredients of the solution or in third-degree burns.

It is important that Granudacyn is used under the supervision of a specialist, especially in patients with comorbidities.

Granudacyn can be used by patients under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

The product can also be used for negative pressure wound therapy, which must be performed by qualified personnel.

It is important to record the date of opening the bottle in order to comply with the 60-day shelf life.

Granudacyn is generally well tolerated, but in some cases adverse reactions may occur, such as local skin irritation or a temporary burning sensation upon application.

It is important that patients report any adverse reactions to their doctor so that the treatment plan can be adjusted.

Based on available data, Granudacyn has no reported significant interactions with other medicines, but it is recommended to consult a specialist before combining treatments, especially in patients undergoing complex treatment for chronic conditions.

Any associated therapy should be carried out with caution and under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

Overdose with Granudacyn is unlikely due to its use by irrigation, but excessive use of the solution without following the instructions may lead to local irritation or increased skin sensitivity.

If unusual symptoms or a worsening of the wound condition are observed, patients should discontinue use and consult a specialist immediately.

To maintain the stability and efficacy of Granudacyn, it is recommended to store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, at a temperature between 15°C and 25°C.

It is essential that the bottle is tightly closed after each use to prevent contamination and degradation of the solution.

It is also important to observe the expiry dates and conditions specified in the package leaflet.
