ZAD G CREAM

ZAD G CREAM belongs to a class of medicines known as 'sulfa antibiotics' primarily used to treat burns and wound infections.  A burn damages 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.

ZAD G CREAM is made up of two medicines, namely: Sulfadiazine and Zinc Sulfate. Sulfadiazine is a bactericidal antibiotic drug (kills bacteria) acting against broad gram-negative, gram-positive bacteria, and yeast. It prevents the bacteria from producing folic acid, a nutrient required for bacterial multiplication, and acts upon bacterial cell walls and cell membranes. This helps decrease the risk of the bacteria spreading to the surrounding skin or the blood that causes a severe blood infection (sepsis). On the other side, Zinc Sulfate is used to improve the zinc deficiency that occurs after burns. Zinc sulfate has antioxidant, and immunomodifier effects that improve burn outcomes help wound healing at a faster rate. 

You are advised to use ZAD G CREAM for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. ZAD G CREAM has common side effects as every medicine does. These include burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. These side effects gradually resolve during the treatment and do not require medical attention.

Brief your medical history to the doctor, if you are allergic to ZAD G CREAM or its components. Please consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to conceive before using ZAD G CREAM since it may affect the unborn baby. It is not known whether ZAD G CREAM passes into breast milk or not. It is advised to seek medical advice before using ZAD G CREAM if you are a breastfeeding mother. ZAD G CREAM should be used with caution in elderly persons, especially those dealing with kidney and liver issues.

Sulfadiazine present in ZAD G CREAM helps to prevent and treat wound infections in persons dealing with severe burns. This medication stops the growth of bacteria that may be responsible for infecting the wound. It also reduces the risk of spreading the bacterial infection to nearby skin or blood where the infection occurs. On the other hand, Zinc Sulfate is used to improve the zinc deficiency that occurs after burns. Zinc sulfate has antioxidant, and immunomodifier effects that improve burn outcomes help wound healing at a faster rate.  

Brief your medical history to the doctor, if you have blood disorders, asthma, allergies, diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration, liver and kidney problems.
