SILVER SULPHADIAZINE CREAM 250GM is an antibiotic medication primarily used to treat bacterial infections and wound infections caused by serious burns. SILVER SULPHADIAZINE CREAM 250GM is also used to treat infected leg ulcers and pressure sores. A burn is damage to the skin or deeper tissues caused by hot liquids, fire, electricity, and chemicals. The degree of severity of burns is based on the size and depth of the burn.
SILVER SULPHADIAZINE CREAM 250GM contains Silver Sulfadiazine, which belongs to the class of 'sulfa antibiotics.' It is bactericidal (kills bacteria) and is also effective against yeast. It inhibits the production of folic acid, a nutrient required for bacterial multiplication and acts on the bacterial cell wall and cell membrane. This helps decrease the risk of the bacteria spreading to the surrounding skin or the blood that causes a severe blood infection (sepsis).
