What else are some of the ingredients in this product used for if used in medicine.
How Does Silver Work?
Argentum (silver) and its compounds have astringent (possibly caustic) and antiseptic (mainly denaturation of protein) effects. When used in proper concentrations and in suitable medical forms, it promotes healing of wounds and ulcers.

How Does Zeolite Work?
Zeolites are crystalline silicates of alkali metals. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that the spatial arrangement of the atoms forms channels and cavities of constant dimensions. Solid, liquid and gaseous state substances may be trapped in these channels. In medicine, this is used as a carrier of active agents. Silver bound to zeolite (silver zeolite) has proven antimicrobial effects on microorganisms. Zeolite supports these effects.

How does Dexpanthenol Work?
Dexpanthenol syn. panthenol belongs to the B5 vitamins. After epicutaneous application, it quickly transforms into pantothenic acid in the skin, which is essential for the metabolism of skin cells. Panthenol has a therapeutic effect for disorders of the healing of wounds and ulcers and for the growth and regeneration of hair. There are no known side effects.

How to Use Silvertan® paste:
Apply a thin, equal layer onto carefully cleaned and dry skin. Ideally, use a medicinal anti-septic soap without sodium lauryl sulfate (for example, Cutosan® wash gel) to clean the skin. Apply a thin layer 2-6 times per day onto the whole irritated skin area. Silvertan ® paste is non-irritating, easy to apply and easy to remove.
Skin irritation may occur in places that are covered by a diaper. Redness, rashes and increased skin sensitivity may occur in these areas. Red spots may appear on the affected areas. The intertrigo may be mild with minor defects to serious with severe redness, irritation, blisters or wet skin. The intertrigo may turn into bed sores. Bed sores may especially occur in immobile and incontinent patients.
