Description:
Silverburn Antibacterial cream for the treatment of burns ulcers.
Broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, sulfanilamide. It has a bactericidal effect.
Properties:
- The drug is active against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Proteus spp., Staphylococcus spp., Klebsiella spp.).
- The bactericidal properties of the cream are due to the activity of silver ions, which are released in the wound as a result of the dissociation of the silver salt of sulfadiazine; the release of silver ions occurs gradually (moderate dissociation), ensuring the constancy of the antimicrobial effect.
- The bactericidal activity of silver ions is complemented by the bacteriostatic effect of sulfadiazine (also released during the dissociation of the silver salt of sulfadiazine).
- Silvirbarn is characterized by moderate osmotic activity and does not have necrolytic properties.
Indications:
Treatment of infected burn wounds, bedsores, abrasions, skin ulcers, transplanted skin areas; as well as to prevent their infection.
Application mode:
Apply externally.
After surgical treatment of the wound and removal of necrotic tissues, the cream is applied to the damaged surface with a thin layer of 2-4 mm (under a bandage or in an open way) 1-2 times / day. The maximum single dose is 300 g. The duration of treatment is set individually, depending on the nature of the disease and the effectiveness of the treatment used, and, as a rule, is up to 3 weeks.
If the use of the drug was missed, apply the cream as soon as possible and continue using at the usual time without doubling the dose.
