Silver Sulfadiazine

Silver Sulfadiazine is used to prevent and treat infection caused by burns. It kills a wide variety of bacteria and also helps heal the skin. It is a topical antibiotic cream that is applied directly to the wound. It is available under many different brand names, including Silvadene, Thermazene, and SSD Cream.

Silver sulfadiazine helps the body fight infection and heal the wound. It can also be used to prevent infection in skin areas that are prone to infections, such as the groin area. This medicine can make the skin a little bit more sensitive to the sun, so being in the sun when using this medicine should be avoided.

Infections caused by burns are common and can be serious if not treated. Doctors will prescribe Silver Sulfadiazine to keep the area clean and help prevent infection. This medicine can also help remove dead tissue to speed healing.

This medication should be used on the area of skin that is affected by the burn. It should never be applied to eyes, mouth, or other areas unless directed by the doctor.

Wear a sterile glove when applying this medicine and always clean the area first. Cover the cleaned burn area with a thin layer of this cream, about 1/16 of an inch thick (1.6 millimeters).  It should be applied at least once or twice a day, as directed by the doctor. If the burn hasn't healed completely, this medicine should be applied more often.

Symptoms of an overdose of Silver Sulfadiazine medicine include vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. If these symptoms occur, call the doctor immediately. Other side effects include rash, itching, and swelling of lips or tongue.

The most common side effects of this medication are itching, burning, and stinging when applied on to the skin. It should also not be used if there is a history of asthma, eczema, or psoriasis.

Silver Sulfadiazine medication should not be used if pregnant or breastfeeding. This medicine can pass into the breast milk and may cause serious medical problems to the baby.
