AMINACRINE HYDROCHLORIDE+CETRIMIDE belongs to the class of medications called ‘antiseptics’ used in the treatment of minor superficial or first-degree burns. A burn damages the skin or deeper tissues caused by hot liquids, fire, electricity and chemicals. The degree of severity of burns is based on the size and depth of the burn. In first-degree burns, only the outer layer of the skin is affected.
AMINACRINE HYDROCHLORIDE+CETRIMIDE is a combination of two medicines: Aminacrine and Cetrimide. Aminacrine has antimicrobial properties and prevents the growth of microbes at the affected site. Cetrimide has antiseptic and disinfectant properties. It is active against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, thus possessing a strong antibacterial effect.
