1% Silver Sulfadiazine

1% Silver Sulfadiazine is a topical cream used primarily to prevent and treat infections in burn wounds. It contains silver, which has antimicrobial properties, and sulfadiazine, an antibiotic that helps fight bacteria. When applied to the skin, it forms a protective barrier, keeping the area moist and encouraging healing while reducing the risk of infection. This medication is commonly used in hospitals for patients with serious burns but may also be recommended for other skin injuries. Always follow medical advice when using this treatment.
