DESCRIPTION: Silver Sulfadiazine Cream is useful in preventing or treating severe infections, and it is often used to treat second- or third-degree burns. Key Benefits: The exact mode of action of Silver Sulfadiazine is unproven, but it is known to deliver broad-spectrum antimicrobial benefits. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus are two bacteria that are susceptible to this medication. This cream prevents infection in penetrating burns, and the moisture from the cream relieves the itchiness that often comes with healing. Formulated For: Intended for cats and dogs. How is Medication Given? Wound dressings should be changed in a closed room with no or low circulation of air. This will prevent wound or cream contamination. To administer, first cut the dressing to an appropriate size. Use a sterile instrument to apply the cream to the gauze. A disposable or sterile instrument should be used every time. A sufficient amount of cream should be used to completely cover the wound at a thickness of 1/16-inch. After applying to a fresh wound, the cream could turn brown. This is normal.
