Important points before taking Bornamin
The doctor or nurse will remove any dead tissue from the burn or wound. The wound will then be washed with sterile saline and dried with sterile gauze.

If you wash the wound within two hours of applying the cream due to excessive bleeding or discharge, apply the medication again.
