- ALLEVYN Ag Gentle may be used on infected wounds being managed in accordance with institutional clinical protocols for infection abatement as an adjunct to the standard treatment regimen to provide a barrier to bacterial penetration.
- ALLEVYN Ag Gentle may not be compatible with topical antimicrobials.
- If reddening or sensitization occur discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
- Avoid contact with electrodes or conductive gels during electronic measurements e.g. EEG and ECG.

- Use caution in patients with significant hepatic or renal impairment.
- Use caution in individuals known to have glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.
