Description

Silvadene Anti-Infective Silver Sulfadiazine 1% Topical Cream is an antimicrobial cream commonly used in the treatment and prevention of infections in burn wounds. The formulation contains 1% silver sulfadiazine as its active ingredient, and it is available in a 400-gram jar for easy application. This topical cream is particularly effective for the management of second- and third-degree burns.

Silver sulfadiazine exerts its antimicrobial effects through a dual mechanism. It inhibits bacterial growth by interfering with bacterial folic acid synthesis, and the silver ions released from the compound have broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, including against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. S

Silvadene is typically applied directly to the wound site once or twice daily, depending on the severity of the injury. The cream forms a protective layer over the affected area, which also aids in maintaining moisture and preventing further tissue damage.
