Dermazine 1% Cream 25gm

Dermazine 1% Cream 25gm, made by Sandoz Pharma, is an antibacterial burn cream. Its active ingredient is Silver Sulfadiazine 1%, and it is used for burns and burn wound infection prevention.

Uses of Dermazine 1% Cream 25gm

Dermazine 1% Cream 25gm 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 Dermazine 1% Cream 25gm 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 Dermazine 1% Cream 25gm 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.
