Treatment of superficial burns with Naksol: experience in Hungary.

In the last 10 years, more than 10,000 patients were treated with "Naksol" against superficial burns in Hungary. The observations made during these treatments are summarised. Naksol is an alcoholic solution containing plant extracts. It offers a new and efficient therapeutic alternative within the limited possibilities available in the therapy of patients with superficial burns. Compared to other substances used for wound-surface treatment, "Naksol" reduces the number of hospitalization days by 5.3 and the total number of treatment days by 7.5 on average. It significantly reduces cicatrization, the incidence of anaemia and infections and, consequently, the requirement to use antibiotics. The treatment is inexpensive, effective, open and simple.
