Hexilak Ultra Gel is used primarily to manage elevated scars that result from diverse causes like surgical procedures, burns, cuts, and insect bites. This specialised gel belongs to a category of medicines often described as wound-healing agents.

Apart from its main use on elevated scars, this gel also aids in the softening and lightening of these scars. It exhibits a unique capacity to flatten hypertrophic and keloid scars, making it effective on both old and new scars. The gel consistency is suitable for visible areas such as the face and hands.

Before you start using this medicine, it's essential to consult your doctor who will guide you on the right dosage and frequency. Make sure you inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications before beginning the medicine. If you notice any side effects while using this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. Remember, for optimal results, continue using the gel for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Directions for Use of Hexilak Ultra Gel 15gm

Make sure your skin is clean and dry.
Apply a thin layer of the gel to your scar using your fingertip.
Allow the gel to dry for 3-5 minutes to create a protective film over your scar.
For best results, use consistently for 8-12 weeks on new scars, and 3-6 months on older scars. Remember to consult your doctor for more personalised advice.

Hexilak Ultra Gel is applied topically.

Whilst using Hexilak Ultra Gel, you may experience:

Mild burning or stinging sensation
Redness
Itching
Skin irritation
Rash

These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, they may persist or worsen in some cases.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Hexilak Ultra Gel. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general tips to manage common side effects:

Mild burning or stinging sensation: If you feel a slight burn or sting after applying the gel, wait for a few minutes before covering the area with clothing.
Redness: If your skin turns red after application, consider applying the gel at night when you won't be exposed to sunlight.

Hexilak Ultra Gel is made up of multiple active ingredients that work together:

Cyclomethicone NF-5: This silicone compound forms a protective barrier on your skin while allowing it to breathe. Its role is to regulate fibroblast production and collagen synthesis thereby softening scars.
UTMF Ceramide I: Ceramides are lipids that reinforce your skin's natural barrier improving hydration and repairing damaged, aged skin.
Dermaxyl (Acetyl Hexapeptide-25): This peptide stimulates skin repair processes to fight skin damage and visibly reduce the depth and surface area of scars.
Polydimethylsiloxane: This silicone polymer acts as a skin protectant and conditioner.
Silicone Dioxide: This component improves the texture and feel of the gel.
Elastomer-10: It enhances the spreadability of the gel and creates a flexible film on your skin.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid): Being a potent antioxidant, it helps reduce hyperpigmentation, protects the skin from photodamage, and promotes collagen production for skin repair.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while using Hexilak Ultra Gel if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using Hexilak Ultra Gel. The safety of use during lactation has not been established.

Alcohol

Since Hexilak Ultra Gel is a topical medication, interaction with alcohol is not expected. However, it's always wise to discuss your alcohol consumption with your doctor.

Liver

Hexilak Ultra Gel is applied on the skin and doesn't usually affect the liver. But if you have liver health issues, it's always wise to consult your doctor before starting any new medication.

Kidney

Hexilak Ultra Gel is unlikely to interact with kidney health as it is a topical application. However, if you have a history of kidney problems, consulting your doctor prior to use would be prudent.

Using Machines & Driving

No interactions between Hexilak Ultra Gel and operating machinery or driving have been reported. However, ensure the gel has fully dried before handling any machinery or driving to prevent any slipperiness.

Allergy

Do not use Hexilak Ultra Gel if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, especially silicones. Always do a patch test before first use to check for allergies.

Children

Caution is advised while giving Hexilak Ultra Gel to children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving this medicine to children.

Older Patients

Older patients should use Hexilak Ultra Gel under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its potential side effects. If you are above 70 years of age, or have liver and kidney issues or might be on other medication, consulting your doctor prior to use would be beneficial.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Hexilak Ultra Gel may interact with the following medications:

Topical Retinoids: Combining this gel with retinoids like tretinoin can increase the risk of skin irritation, redness, and peeling.
Topical Acne Treatments: Using this gel with topical acne treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid may lead to excessive dryness and irritation.
Topical Steroids: Concurrent use with topical steroids like hydrocortisone can increase the risk of skin thinning and sensitivity.
Exfoliating Agents: Combining the gel with exfoliating agents such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) can lead to excessive exfoliation, causing skin irritation and redness.

Drug-Food Interactions

Since Hexilak Ultra Gel is applied on the skin rather than ingested, food interactions are not expected.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Hexilak Ultra Gel doesn't have any known disease interactions. But if you're suffering from any skin conditions or diseases, it's important to discuss them with your doctor before using this gel. Dermatological conditions might influence how this gel works or how your skin responds to it.

Daily Dose

Use Hexilak Ultra Gel as prescribed by your doctor. The frequency may vary based on factors like the severity of the scar and your skin's response to the gel. It is crucial to stick to your doctor's prescribed frequency and not exceed it without consulting them.

Over Dose

For topical products like Hexilak Ultra Gel, an overdose is unlikely. If you've accidentally applied too much, you might experience temporary skin redness or irritation. If these symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to apply Hexilak Ultra Gel at the scheduled time, do so as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next application, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Don't apply extra gel to make up for a missed dose without consulting your doctor.

Keep Hexilak Ultra Gel stored at room temperature.
Protect the gel from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Ensure that the tube is tightly closed when not in use to prevent exposure to air and moisture.
Keep this medicine out of the reach and sight of children.
Always check the expiry date before use and avoid using if it's past this date.

Since Hexilak Ultra Gel is used to manage scars, it's beneficial to follow a diet rich in vitamin C and zinc which are known for their role in skin healing. Include foods like citrus fruits, bell peppers, shellfish, and seeds in your meals.
Adopt a lifestyle that minimises further skin damage. This includes wearing protective clothing or using a high-SPF sunscreen when going outside, as sun exposure can darken scars. Regularly moisturise your skin to maintain its elasticity and promote better healing.
