Generic Name: SILVER SULFADIAZINE - TOPICAL
Brand Name(s): Dermazin, Flamazine, SSD
USES:
This medication is used alone or with other medications to help prevent and treat wound infections in patients with severe burns. Silver sulfadiazine belongs to a class of drugs known as topical antibiotics. It works by killing bacteria that may infect an open wound. This helps to decrease the risk of the bacteria spreading to surrounding skin or to the blood, causing a serious blood infection (sepsis).
OTHER USES:
This section contains uses of this drug that are not listed in the approved professional labeling for the drug but that may be prescribed by your health care professional. Use this drug for a condition that is listed in this section only if it has been so prescribed by your health care professional. This drug may also be used to help prevent and treat wound infections in patients with skin ulcers from constant pressure (bedsores).
HOW TO USE:
Apply this medication to a wound using sterile techniques (e.g., using sterile rubber gloves and sterile application swab or tongue depressor), usually 1-2 times daily or as directed by your doctor. The layer of cream should be about one-sixteenth of an inch (1-2 millimeters) thick. The wound should be covered with the cream at all times. Bandages may be applied over the cream, but this is not necessary. If some of the cream rubs off the wound, reapply it immediately. The cream should also be reapplied immediately after hydrotherapy. Treatment usually continues until the wound is completely healed. Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time(s) each day. Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens or if you notice increasing redness/tenderness of the skin around the wound.
