Dermazin 50g 0.01 Cream

Dermazin 50g 0.01 Cream contains Silver Sulfadiazine 50g, an antibacterial burn cream. Made by Novartis Pharma (pakistan)ltd, it is prescribed for burns and burn wound infection prevention. Pack size: jarx50gm cream.

Uses of Dermazin 50g 0.01 Cream

Dermazin 50g 0.01 Cream is used to prevent and treat infection in burns, particularly partial-thickness and deeper burns, and in some other wounds, skin graft sites and leg ulcers. Burnt skin loses its natural barrier, making infection a serious risk, and the cream helps protect the wound while it heals. Large, deep or facial burns should always be assessed by a doctor.

How Dermazin 50g 0.01 Cream works

Silver sulfadiazine combines silver, which damages bacterial cell membranes, with sulfadiazine, a sulfonamide antibacterial. Together they are active against a wide range of bacteria and some yeasts commonly found in burn wounds, slowing their growth on the wound surface.

Possible side effects

Side effects with Dermazin 50g 0.01 Cream mostly affect the treated area. They may include:

• Burning or stinging when applied
• Itching or rash
• Greyish or dark discolouration of the skin
• Mild pain at the wound

See a doctor promptly for a widespread rash, blistering, fever, sore throat or mouth ulcers, or yellowing of the skin. Get urgent help for swelling of the face or difficulty breathing.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not use it if you are allergic to sulfonamide (sulfa) medicines.
• It is not used in premature or newborn babies or near the end of pregnancy, and should be used when breastfeeding only on medical advice.
• Tell your doctor if you have G6PD deficiency or kidney or liver disease, as more of the medicine may be absorbed when large areas are treated.
• Apply it with clean hands or a sterile glove, and keep the wound covered as advised.
• Seek medical care for large, deep or infected burns rather than treating them at home.

Storage

Store below 30°C and keep the cap tightly closed. For external use only; avoid contact with the eyes unless the product is made for eye use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
