  • have had a severe allergic reaction (e.g., severe rash, hives, difficulty breathing, swelling) to sulfonamide medicines or sulfur.
  • have kidney disease.

KEEP ALL AVAR PRODUCTS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

Before you use AVAR products, tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements. You should tell your doctor if you are using silver-containing medicines, such as silver sulfadiazine.

AVAR products may cause serious side effects in some people, including:

  • severe allergic reactions. You should discontinue any AVAR product if the condition becomes worse, or if a rash develops in the area being treated or elsewhere.
