About this product

DERMAZINE 1% CREAM 50GM contains Silver Sulphadiazine as its active ingredient. Silver Sulphadiazine is a topical antimicrobial agent commonly used in the treatment of burns and certain types of skin infections. It works by releasing silver ions, which have antimicrobial properties, to help prevent and treat bacterial infections in damaged skin.
Uses
DERMAZINE 1% CREAM 50GM is primarily prescribed for the treatment of burns, particularly second- and third-degree burns, to prevent and manage infection and promote wound healing. It is also used in the management of other skin conditions such as infected wounds, skin graft sites, and ulcers. Silver Sulphadiazine helps to reduce bacterial colonization and prevent further infection in damaged skin.
