SSD Silver Sulfadiazine Cream 1%

SSD Silver Sulfadiazine Cream 1% is a topical cream used for the treatment of burns and other skin infections caused by bacteria. It contains the active ingredient silver sulfadiazine, which works by killing bacteria and preventing their growth on the skin. The addition of silver in the formula helps to enhance the antibacterial properties of the cream. This cream is commonly used in hospital settings to treat burn wounds and is considered to be an effective and potent treatment for these types of injuries.

How does SSD Silver Sulfadiazine Cream 1% work?

SSD Silver Sulfadiazine Cream 1% contains two active ingredients, silver sulfadiazine and micronized silver. Silver sulfadiazine is a sulfonamide antibiotic, while micronized silver has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

When applied topically to the skin, the cream works by releasing the silver ions which penetrate the microbial cell wall. These ions then bind to the bacterial cell and disrupt its metabolic functions, leading to cell death.

Additionally, silver sulfadiazine also inhibits the growth of bacteria by interfering with the enzyme systems necessary for their survival.

The combination of silver sulfadiazine and micronized silver in the cream helps to prevent bacterial growth and promote healing in wounds and burns. It also has anti-inflammatory properties which help to alleviate pain and swelling.
