{"description":["DESCRIPTION: Balsam Peru is an effective capillary bed stimulant used to increase circulation in the wound area. Also, Balsam Peru has a mild bactericidal action. Castor Oil is used to improve epithelialization by reducing premature epithelial desiccation and cornification. Also, it can act as a protective covering and aids in the reduction of pain. Trypsin is intended for debridement of eschar and other necrotic tissue. It appears that in many instances removal of wound debris strengthens humoral defense mechanisms sufficiently to retard proliferation of local pathogens."],"dosage_and_administration":["DOSAGE: Remove Safety Seal under cap.
