What is Hysept?

Hysept is an antibiotic that fights bacteria.

Hysept is used to treat or prevent infections caused by cuts or abrasions, skin ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, or surgery.

Hysept may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

You should not use Hysept if you are sensitive to chlorine products (such as bleach).

How should I take Hysept

Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not use Hysept in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.

Apply or pour this medicine over the affected skin area.

To treat a skin wound or ulcer, apply Hysept by pouring it over the wound. You may also soak a piece of gauze dressing and apply the gauze to the wound. Follow your doctor's directions about how long to leave the gauze in place over the wound.

You can apply petroleum jelly (Vaseline) to the skin around the skin wound or affected area, to keep the medicine from getting onto healthy skin.
