Product description :
Silver sulfadiazine (INN, or silvadene) is a topical sulfonamide/silverantibacterial used as a topical burn cream on burns, including chemical burns. It prevents the growth of a wide array of bacteria, as well as yeast, on the damaged skin.Silver sulfadiazine is typically delivered in a 1% cream or aqueous suspension. Brand names include Sliverex, Silvadene (a genericized trademark), Silvazine, Flamazine, Thermazene, and SSD.Studies have found that silver sulfadiazine increases healing times; and it is therefore not recommended by the authors of a Cochrane review.
